Davis was not thrilled with McGrady -- after trying and failing to return to the game, then getting treatment -- leaving the TD Waterhouse Centre before the game was over. Davis would have preferred that McGrady return to the sideline in street clothes. He talked to McGrady about it by phone Tuesday. "I think it was very frustrating for him, but I would have preferred that we all stay together. Even if you can't support us on the floor, you could support us on the sideline," Davis said. "But Tracy is a team guy. He's not a selfish guy, and to say that he is would be painting the wrong picture. We're on the same page."</div> Full Story
Nice article and nice things said in it. I to think Tracy should of stayed on the sidelines and supported his team but that's just me.
Nothing new Tracy is not the first and won't be the last person who left work early or walked out from the job due to whatever reason. These columnists make me nauseous when they speak of these athletes and their situations as if they should be held at a higher standard. Tracy is an employee and he gets a paycheck/direct deposit just like a lot of other folks. I'm glad to see he has frustrations like others and if he didn't I'd be worried. I've never liked Tracy off the court (too many instances to recount) but I've respected his game and come to appreciate his honesty. I predict in three years or less Tracy will be potent and an all around better basketball player on and off the court. Off the court meaning he'll be mature in his decisions, have true leadership skills and he'll realize his strengths and weaknesses and how to use them to his advantage. Whether or not he does this in Orlando remains to be seen. I, however, would love to see the Southeast get some shine.
