Tracy McGrady is widely recognized as one of the premiere scorers in the game, winning the NBA Scoring Title in 2003 and in 2004. He has been elected to the All-Star Game seven times, and is a six-time All-NBA Selection. With a height of 6'8", and the quickness of a point guard, he is noted for his versatility and match up nightmare for opposing defenses.

Tracy Lamar McGrady, Jr was born in Bartow, Florida, on May 24, 1979. He attended Mount Zion Christian Academy and was named the High School Player of the Year during his senior year by USA Today. Even though he was a highly recruited prospect by the top college basketball programs in the country, McGrady elected to forgo college and declare himself eligible for the 1997 NBA draft.

McGrady was selected with the ninth pick in the 1997 NBA draft by the Toronto Raptors. Paired with his cousin Vince Carter, the Raptors reached playoffs for the first time in it's franchise's history in 2000. The following year, he was signed and traded to the Orlando Magic. He would blossom as the team's franchise player, earning his first All-Star appearance and winning the 2001 NBA Most Improved Player Award. In 2004, he would capture his first scoring title with an average of 32.1 points a game. He would follow that up the following season with his second scoring title, with an average of 28 points a game. On June 29, 2004, the Orlando Magic would trade McGrady along with Juwan Howard, Tyronn Lue and Reece Gaines to the Houston Rockets for Steve Francis, Cuttino Mobley and Kelvin Cato. Paired with center Yao Ming, the Rockets arguably have the most potent one-two punch in the NBA, but as of 2008, with injuries plaguing both stars periodically, they have been unable to capitalize on the impressive potential that these two superstars create.

On December 2, 2008, the Rockets announced that McGrady would be out for three weeks in order to rehabilitate and rest a sore left knee. McGrady had arthroscopic knee surgery on May 6, 2008.ESPN.com: Knee injury to sideline McGrady for three weeks (December 2, 2008)
