T mac and yao ming biography

•

I feel like I need to comment on the feeling that some of you have that we are unnecessary harsh on Tracy McGrady, yet let Yao Ming get a pass. It's untrue, but let's take some time to pretend that it is true. Why would that be possible?

Here's who Tracy McGrady was when he came to the Rockets:
2002-03 Orlando 32.1 PPG on 45.7% shooting, 6.5 RPG, 5.5 APG, and 1.7 SPG
2003-04 Orlando 28 PPG on 41.7% shooting, 6.0 RPG, 5.5 APG, and 1.4 SPG

Here's what he's given the Rockets the last two years:
2007-08 Houston 21.6 PPG on 41.9% shooting, 5.1 RPG, 5.9 APG, and 1.0 SPG
2008-09 Houston 15.6 PPG on 38.8% shooting, 4.4 RPG, 5.0 APG, and 1.2 SPG

Salary Numbers:

2002-03	Orlando Magic	NBA	$12,072,500
2003-04	Orlando Magic	NBA	$13,279,500
2004-05	Houston Rockets	NBA	$14,487,000
2005-06	Houston Rockets	NBA	$15,694,250

2008-09 Houston Rockets NBA $21,126,874
2009-10 Houston Rockets NBA $23,239,561
