Tracy Lamar McGrady Jr. is an American retired professional basketball player who is best known for his career in the National Basketball Association (NBA), where he played as both a shooting guard and small forward. McGrady is a seven-time NBA All-Star, seven-time All-NBA selection, two-time NBA scoring champion, and one-time winner of the NBA Most Improved Player Award. He was inducted into the NBA's Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2017.
McGrady entered the NBA straight out of high school and was selected as the ninth overall pick by the Toronto Raptors in the 1997 NBA draft. Beginning his career as a low-minute player, he gradually improved his role with the team, eventually forming an exciting duo with his cousin Vince Carter. In 2000, he left the Raptors for the Orlando Magic, where he became one of the league's most prolific scorers and a candidate for the NBA Most Valuable Player Award. In 2004, he was traded to the Houston Rockets, where he paired with center Yao Ming to help the Rockets become a perennial playoff team. His final seasons in the NBA were plagued by injuries, and he retired in 2013 following a brief stint with the Qingdao DoubleStar Eagles of the Chinese Basketball Association and the San Antonio Spurs. Since retiring, McGrady has worked as a basketball analyst for ESPN.
Tracy is a Managing Partner with PIN, a web-based educational platform designed to bridge the gap between corporations, financial institutions, MBE, WBE, LGBTQ, veteran and government businesses, investors, athletes and entertainers.
According to USA Today on October 4, 2017, "NBA's massive growth in China is beyond what anybody could have anticipated." The article states, "More than 700 million viewers watched NBA basketball on television in China last season, with games also streamed by media partners like CCTV, BesTV and TenCent. Basketball, played by approximately 300 million people here, is the No. 1 team sport in China. The NBA is the most popular sports league on social media in China, with more than 136 million followers."
Rodney Woods, Chairman and CEO of PIN stated, "I'm always looking for innovative ways to change the game in business, and this collaboration between PIN, Tracy McGrady and EarthWater will do that. I believe it will also provide greater options for people who prefer natural products like those EarthWater offers. This will be a winning combination for sure."
