Best Pick Up Game Ever?

Hooped Up | October 10, 2008


Imagine showing up to the gym for a pick up game and seeing Kevin Garnett, Dwight Howard, Josh Smith, Chauncey Billups, Jordan Farmar, Tracy McGrady, Tim Duncan and Sebastian Telfair.

Would you say “I gots next” or would you take pictures?  I would say “I got next” and take pictures at the same time.  

Hey, speak for yourself, it can be done.

Legendary: Tracy McGrady Scores 13 Points In 33 Seconds

Hooped Up | October 7, 2008


On December 9, 2004, he scored 13 points in the last 33 seconds of a game against the San Antonio Spurs, with four consecutive 3 pointers (one of which was part of a four-point play), including a steal and the game-winning 3 pointer with 1.7 seconds left in the game that helped the Rockets win 81–80. One of the greatest last minute comebacks in NBA History.

McGrady To Detroit?

Hooped Up | June 21, 2008

Tracy McGrady just can’t win a playoff series and the West is getting tougher.  If  McGrady moved to the East and played with a veteran club that could finish top three in the East, things could be looking up for T-Mac. Enter Detroit.

Billups and Prince could elevate Houston in the West next year. And the Pistons would start Stuckey, Hamilton, McGrady, Wallace and McDyess. That lineup could contend for a title.

McGrady has pouted on occasion and coasted at other times. But he has two years left on his contract. The Pistons could figure that McGrady would play hard in year one because he is on a new team, and then play hard in year two because he would be playing for a new contract.

McGrady Ordered To Pay Child Support

Hooped Up | June 19, 2008

My damn, it’s expensive not wear a rubber! Especially if your an NBA player. Pearl Vega is set to receive a big pay day from Tracy McGrady a.k.a T-Mac, in child support. Wow!

Basketball star Tracy McGrady of the Houston Rockets must pay a Bradenton woman $54,156 a year in child support for their daughter, plus insurance and tuition, a Sarasota County circuit judge ruled.

The amount is far less than the $204,000 a year that Pearl Vega, 36, had argued would be more in line with McGrady’s $21.6 million annual income and give their child a lifestyle more equal to that of McGrady’s other children.

Circuit Judge Donna Berlin ruled that Vega had overstated the child’s needs and has “used child support to enhance her personal lifestyle and that of her other two children.”

Hooped Up | June 13, 2008


The NBA hit the nail on the head again in marketing their game to the world with the “Their Can Only Be One” series of commercials. Last night was maybe the final commercial of the series and did it ever hit.

McGrady Undergoes Operations

Hooped Up | May 8, 2008

 

This off season will be an important one for Tracy McGrady, who’s window is closing with the Rockets and whose body is breaking down. 

Houston Rockets guard Tracy McGrady could need three months to recover following operations on his knee and shoulder.

“I don’t expect these issues to impact his ability to prepare for the upcoming season,” said team physician Tom Clanton, who operated on McGrady’s knee Tuesday.

Loose tissue was cleared out of the left knee and left shoulder.

The Streaks Over

Hooped Up | March 18, 2008

The shots stopped falling, Boston’s stars took over and just like that, the Houston Rockets’ 22-game winning streak was history.Kevin Garnett scored 22 points and Paul Pierce added 20 as the Celtics beat the Rockets 94-74 on Tuesday night, stopping Houston’s remarkable victory run.

The Rockets hadn’t lost since a 97-89 defeat to Utah on Jan. 27 and put together the NBA’s second-longest winning streak. It ended 11 victories shy of the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers, who won 33 in a row.
