Tobias Harris delivers on promise, delivers for Magic

Tobias Harris said he got on the plane after the Magic’s loss to the Hawks on Friday and said his team was going to win Saturday night’s rematch. He repeated it — yelled it, really, as Nikola Vucevic would tell it — when he came to Amway Center. There was that steely eyed determination that […]

The mistakes keep building for Magic in Atlanta

The Magic held a 12-point lead in the third quarter and had things rolling for themselves. They were moving the ball, attacking well and creating opportunities for the offense.

Tracy McGrady wants to make a difference in retirement

TracyMcGrady_Cavs122503

Here is how Tracy McGrady is going to change the world.

He is going to teach athletes to take control of their money. He is going to make them understand what he has come to learn in the last four years, when the injuries piled up and the games played went down: that it is easy to grasp investing once you know the language. And once they have this knowledge, he will help to launch a revolution among players who have been told they are too dumb to ask the right questions.

In this plan athletes and entertainers—suddenly wealthy people like himself—will learn about minority-owned manufacturers and then invest in those companies, bringing capital and jobs to the very neighborhoods where they grew up.

Les Carpenter, Bleacher Report

This post is an absolute must-read as Carpenter follows one of the Magic’s all-time greats in his retirement. There are days when he still wants to be T-Mac and days where he is ready for this important phase in his life.

It appears McGrady is going to bring the same fire and passion he brought to the TD Waterhouse Centre back in the day to this new endeavr. Undoubtedly he will be successful there too.
