Tracy McGrady
Detroit Pistons (2015-17)
Los Angeles Lakers (2018)
Miami Heat (2019)
Orlando Magic (2020-2031)
At a Glance
- At the time of his retirement, T-Mac ranked 10th all-time in win shares (195.6) despite spending his first five seasons toiling in offenses not suited to his skillset
- The greatest 3-and-D player in league history, McGrady finished with the most steals (2,427) in league history and the second best three-point percentage of all-time (.459), trailing only Jimmy Chitwood in that category
- Tied with Shaquille O’Neal, Willis Reed, and Livio Jean-Charles, whom he was traded for, for 11th all-time in Pts/TSA at 1.205
- Also sits on the career leaderboards in three-pointers made (6th; 2,628), three-pointers attempted (9th; 5,731), minutes played (7th; 47,716), and free throw percentage (21st; .913)
- A three-time champion in Orlando, he was able to lead the Magic men to unprecedented heights that all-time greats such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Guy Beahm, Brandon Griner, and Nick Van Exel were never able to reach
- Perhaps his greatest accomplishment, he escaped the clutches of tyrannical GM Mike following the 2017 season to avoid having his career ruined entirely
