Tracy McGrady



He is one of my favourite players in NBA. His fullname was Tracy Lamar McGrady, Jr. (born May 24, 1979 in Bartow, Florida), nicknamed T-Mac, is an All-Star professional basketball player currently playing for the Houston Rockets in the National Basketball Association. McGrady was ranked #75 on SLAM magazine's Top 75 NBA Players of all time in 2003. He has also played for the Toronto Raptors and Orlando Magic.

McGrady played all 5 positions in high school. Tracy currently plays both shooting guard and small forward, and is also one of the first players who went straight from high school (Mt. Zion Christian Academy) to the NBA without attending college. He created national buzz after his performance in the Adidas ABCD Camp, to which the best high school players in the nation are invited annually. He was named high school Player of the Year by USA Today.

Strenght:
He play Inside and outside...
Tracy McGrady is too quick and fast as his size. He can crossover smaller guys, he dunk so hard, good jumping ability that made him one of the best dunker in the leauge. He also dribble the ball well, has good ballhandling, and shoot the three points well. So, he can dunk, crossover people, passing the ball, and also do some block shot. He do everything, score from anyside he wants.

Weakness:
Maybe his defensive awarness...
