T-Mac, 1979, was born on May 24th in barto, Florida, USA. He is a former American professional basketball player, with the nickname of point guard/small forward. Maddy? . When he was a player, McGrady was 2.03 meters tall and weighed 10 1 kg. In the 1997 NBA draft, McGrady was selected by the Toronto Raptors as a high school student in the 9th overall pick of 1 round, and spent his career in Raptors, Magic and Rockets. During 16' s career, he won the NBA scoring champion twice, was selected as an All-Star seven times and won the NBA player of the year twice.
In 20 13, McGrady retired, and four years later, he was officially elected to the American Basketball Hall of Fame. As far as McGrady's personal ability is concerned, there is no doubt that he is a historical player. He has won many top personal honors in his career and deserves to be elected to the Hall of Fame. The only regret is that McGrady's team didn't perform well. As the core of the team, he has never led the team to the second round of the playoffs. Because of this, in the eyes of many people, McGrady is a player with soft style and not too hard psychological quality, but is this really the case?
There is such an idiom to describe McGrady, and that is? Jealous of talent? . Even Jordan once lamented that McGrady was the top genius in history. In basketball skills, McGrady has almost no shortcomings, but God made his body suffer from congenital scoliosis, which has been with McGrady throughout his career. For an ordinary person, this disease will not affect normal life, but for athletes, it is fatal, because it determines that this person's sports life will not last long. When McGrady first entered the NBA, doctors predicted that it would be difficult for him to play four seasons in the league. Now it makes sense to see this statement.
The causes of congenital scoliosis are very complicated, mainly related to heredity, environment or vitamin deficiency. People with this disease are most afraid to engage in weight-bearing exercise, otherwise it will cause irreversible damage to the spine. One of McGrady's stunts in playing basketball is doing jump shots. From a professional point of view, McGrady needs to mobilize his whole body muscles instantly when he is dry-pulling, and the load on his body from relative rest to instantaneous explosion is quite high. The seemingly elegant shooting action is actually at the expense of McGrady's physical loss. ?
Since 2007, that is, after McGrady was 28 years old, his body has been obviously overdrawn, and he has suffered various injuries one after another, and his state has dropped sharply since then. Later, he moved to the Knicks, Pistons, Spurs and other teams, gradually becoming a bench player, and finally had no choice but to retire. If load management was popular in those days, maybe McGrady's sports life would be extended and he would win at least one championship trophy in his career, so there would be no regrets. In a word, it is not easy for McGrady to persist in playing until he is 34, regardless of his spinal injury.
