These loyal followers had summoned him from Toronto four years ago, welcomed him to Orlando, watched him grow into stardom, winced with him as stardom tweaked his back, grinned with him through MVP-caliber seasons that looked easy, cried with him as death ravaged his inner circle and sighed with him during one horrible year of basketball.

    Now, as McGrady concluded his celebrity softball game, they sought one last moment. They tossed old Orlando Magic No. 1 jerseys for the new Houston Rocket to sign. It was strange. McGrady's team wore shirts from his 2003 adidas collection, and the color was Magic blue. It was sad. And then one boy threw McGrady a white and red baseball cap, his new colors.</div>

    Don't blow this out of proportion.
