Houston Rockets Sign Tracy McGrady to Multi-Year Contract Extension Leslie Alexander is proud to announce the signing of another superstar to the Houston Rockets organization. “Tracy McGrady is one of the greatest players in the game today. This marks another stone in the foundation to making the Rockets one of the premier organizations in all of sports. Yao is next, and we hope to sign him to a long-term contract as soon as allowable.” McGrady stands as the NBA’s reigning two-time scoring champion, as he averaged a league-leading 28.0 points with Orlando last season. The 6-8, 210-pound guard became the third-youngest player in NBA history to claim multiple scoring titles, trailing only Wilt Chamberlain and Bob McAdoo. The 25-year-old McGrady stands as one of nine players in NBA history to win consecutive scoring crowns. The four-time All-Star also averaged 6.0 rebounds, a career-high-tying 5.5 assists and 1.39 steals last year to earn All-NBA Second Team honors. He set a career high with a Magic franchise-record and NBA individual season-high 62 points vs. Washington last Mar. 10. Over his NBA career, McGrady has averaged 21.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.32 steals and 1.17 blocks in 487 games with Toronto and Orlando. In the last four years, he earned selection to the All-NBA First Team twice and All-NBA Second Team twice. He also became the second-youngest player in NBA history to reach 10,000 career points, trailing only Kobe Bryant. In 18 career playoff games, McGrady has averaged 29.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.44 steals and 1.17 blocks with Toronto and Orlando, including 32.0 points per game with the Magic. McGrady entered the NBA at age 18 with Toronto, averaging 11.1 points in 192 games with the Raptors. In his fourth season, McGrady joined the Magic, for whom he averaged a franchise-record 28.1 points in 295 games. In 2001, McGrady received the NBA's Most Improved Player award and All-NBA Second Team honors by averaging 26.8 points, marking the highest scoring average in NBA history for a player 21 years or younger. McGrady earned his first of consecutive All-NBA First Team selections in 2002 after finishing fourth in the league with 25.6 points per game and averaging a career-high 7.9 rebounds, 5.3 rebounds and 1.57 steals. In 2003, McGrady led the NBA with a career-high 32.1 points per game for his first of consecutive scoring titles with Orlando, earning All-NBA First Team recognition and becoming the youngest NBA player to average 30 points since McAdoo during the 1974-75 season. __________________ Good Defense always beats a good offense and vice versa |

Finally!!!!
He's ours!!! Good Post __________________ "As to Hakeem the Dream Olajuwon, I am not worthy even to tie his shoe laces for him; he is over 40 some years old now; but he is still so quick. That kind of speed, that kind of rhythm, that kind of directional change....to tell you the truth, I don't think I can learn much from him, as I just do not have that kind of speed as the foundation. He has taught me alot of moves, but to me, they seemed just like eye-openers that broaden my horizon." - Yao Ming On Dream Donate H E R E |

like there was ever any doubt?
anyone that isnt practicing for their Chicken Little degree knew that it would happen...especially since both parties had proclaimed recently that everything was worked out and at the lawyers for review. that said... sweet....1 down ...1 to go. |

Our main man Chad Ford talked about an extension of the Halloween deadline for these contract extensions looks like they beat the new deadline by a couple of hours.

I know they were saying all the right things, but it sure is nice to see it officially done. A nice birthday present to me!  Now if the wife would only surprise me with League Pass again.
