                    [Summary] => Beyond his stats and what you read in his website, there’s a lot more to know about Houston Rockets star and recent Manila visitor Tracy McGrady.


Here are some little-known facts about T-Mac:


• He’s the first National Basketball Association (NBA) player to own a jet. Over a year ago, T-Mac bought an 11-seat white Falcon 2000 plane with T1 MAC painted on the side. His VIP seat was the first on the right side of the cabin and was equipped with an armrest that controlled a surround sound system, a DVD player and an air-conditioner.

I’m reminded that there is something tougher than being an NBA All-Star, yes sir. At the end of the day, you get to go to the gym, put on a uniform, play the game you love, shower, change, then go home.


Try being an endorser.


I got another taste of this when Tracy McGrady of the Houston Rockets was in town for two days, accommodating a whirlwind of activities that would wilt an ordinary human being.

                    [Summary] => Houston Rockets star Tracy McGrady said the other day the reason why he has such a passion for basketball is because it’s an unpredictable, if not weird, game.


On his second visit to Manila in six years, McGrady cited as an example the last National Basketball Association (NBA) All-Star Game where he was headed for MVP honors until the East came back from 21 points down to shock the West, 122-120.

So it is refreshing when presented with someone legit, someone with pure, hands-down, heart-pounding, dream-inspiring talent. Someone who, even without the overextended reaches of a press agent, will still be heard of just because he’s amazingly good at what he does.

But last Sunday night (Monday morning, Manila) at the Toyota Center here, the East rewrote history and put on a gritty display of hard-nosed defense to eke out a 122-120 win over the West.

Magbabalik si Tracy McGrady, isa sa pinakasikat na basketball stars ng National Basketball Association sa Asia para sa four-city tour.


Maliban sa pagbibigay siya sa kanyang mga fans at higit pang pag-ibayuhin ang  hilig sa basketball sa rehiyon, ilulunsad din ni McGrady ang kanyang all-white limited edition run ng kanyang unang signature shoe, na T-MAC 1.

But last Sunday night (Monday morning, Manila) at the Toyota Center here, the East rewrote history and put on a gritty display of hard-nosed defense to eke out a 122-120 win over the West.
