“[Tracy McGrady said publicly what we all knew: He didn't always try his hardest last season when he played for the Magic. McGrady told Sports Illustrated that he was so defeated mentally by the losing that] some nights I did slack off. ... Really?”
John Weisbrod
“Cyclone Tracy was a category four, this one when it crossed was category five, so a much stronger system, much more destructive.”
Cathy Muller
“They had been doing that the whole game, doubling up on Tracy. A lot of times it's open. But when Tracy gets it going, and he's shooting the ball, he's on fire. But it's always open when guys are double-teaming him like that, so when he's going like that, we try and go get the rebound.”
Stromile Swift
“I didn't think I was going to get [tourney MVP]. Tracy got 25. I think we played hard. We knew Hayfield would come out hard because we beat them twice [during the season].”
Walt Smith
“I didn't get a lot of at-bats in Spring Training, but [Tracy] knew what I could do. And if the situation called for it, [I knew] he would consider me to come up.”
Mike Edwards
“It's been a while since I had one and when I rounded first and saw Tracy hung up in-between home and third. Fortunately for us the ball finally bounced our way. It was good to come out on the winning end of one.”
Chris Snyder
“Tracy was frustrated at the start of the season. She wasn't scoring and the links were which wasn't a bad thing. She built on each game and got more and more confidence. It took awhile for her to get used to the people around her.”
