Tracy McGrady

Tracy McGrady (born May 24, 1979 is a professional basketball player in the NBA. McGrady is one of the first major NBA players that went straight from high school straight to the league without attending college. He was drafted ninth in the first round of the 1997 draft by the Toronto Raptors. McGrady had a decent start to his career with the Raptors, getting better numbers in all categories every year. However, his career became much better when he was traded to the Orlando Magic in exchange for a first round draft pick in 2000. Next season he won the Most Improved Player Award and was selected a starter in the All Star game. He and Grant Hill both were supposed to be valuable players for Orlando, but because of a long series of injuries to Hill, McGrady has become the best player for the Magic. In the 2002-2003 season, McGrady captured the NBA scoring title, averaging 32.1 points per game. As of March 4, 2004, he is again on pace to receive the title, averaging 27.7 PPG for the season.
