McGrady, 34, entered the NBA at the age of 18 as part of a wave of high schoolers turning pro in the late '90s. While many of those drafted didn't stick, McGrady ascended to become one of the NBA's best players, producing one of the all-time great seasons in 2002-03, when he averaged 32.1 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists.
At his best,[url=http://www.brandskor.se/]Billiga Air Max[/url], McGrady was one of the NBA's most exciting players to watch. There was a time when legitimate arguments were had over whether McGrady was better than Kobe Bryant. McGrady's numbers between the 2000-01 and 2007-08 season support his place as one of the great individual talents, though his career averages were watered down by injury and decline toward the end of his time in the NBA.
The knock on McGrady was his inability to push beyond the first round of the playoffs, but it wasn't for lack of effort. McGrady made the postseason nine times and averaged better than 30 points per game on four separate occasions.
McGrady finally played into the NBA finals as a member of the San Antonio Spurs this past season. His team lost in seven games to LeBron James and the Miami Heat. McGrady wasn't the featured player,[url=http://www.brandskor.se/]Air Max[/url], though,[url=http://www.brandskor.se/]Billiga Nike Shox[/url], averaging just 5.2 minutes per game in the postseason after signing with the Spurs before the start of the playoffs.
McGrady averaged 19.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.4 assists over 15 years, compiling 18,381 career points. He retires as a seven-time All Star and two-time scoring champion.
McGrady played for the Raptors,[url=http://www.brandskor.se/]Billiga Nike Free[/url], Magic, Rockets, Knicks, Pistons, Hawks and and Spurs during his playing career. He also spent a seasons overseas in China and left open the possibility of a return.
When asked if he'd play overseas, McGrady said, "Officially retired from the NBA. Door's still open." |
