Origin
and identity

McGrady's game moved at its own elegant tempo: long strides, a high release and sudden explosions.

After developing in Toronto, McGrady became a scoring champion in Orlando and a perennial star in Houston. His size and handle let him create from anywhere.

Injuries limited his playoff story, but peak performances—including thirteen points in thirty-three seconds—secured his place in basketball memory.
