For basketball fans in the United Kingdom, the United States and indeed around the world, Tracy McGrady needs no introduction.
McGrady, known as T-Mac by NBA circles, was an explosive player who could just as easily drive to the rim through a defence as he could hit an off-balance and heavily contested three-pointer in crunch time. His fellow Hall of Fame inductee Paul Pierce described McGrady as one of the most difficult players the Boston Celtics icon had to guard - which is certainly a high level of praise.
True to the description, McGrady remains as laid back now as he ventures forward in post-basketball life with the Ones Basketball League as he was on the court with the Toronto Raptors, Orlando Magic and Houston Rockets among others. Analysts across the pond often remarked that his size, playmaking and shooting would perhaps be more suited to the modern era of the sport where the three-point shot reigns supreme.
