Season has come to a close

Hey everyone,

As some of you may have heard, my season has come to an end. My knee hasn’t been right all year, and we can’t seem to get the pain to go away. We’ve tried just playing through it, taking back-to-backs off, and extended periods of rest, but none of it has really been effective in limiting the discomfort and allowing me to just go out there and play. I’ve met with numerous doctors and gotten a number of opinions, and unfortunately I will be undergoing microfracture surgery on my left knee immediately. Microfracture surgery is a serious procedure, but I’m confident that I will be able to return next season with the same strength and explosiveness you are all used to seeing from me.

It has been extremely frustrating dealing with the knee injury this season. It’s been tough on me both physically and mentally and while we’ve come to this conclusion after much deliberation, we truly feel this is best for both me and the Rockets in the long term. As I’ve said before and will say again, I have the best fans in the world. Thank you for all your continued support through the good times and the bad.

I will make sure to keep you all posted on what’s happening with me.

Peace

T-mac


Yes, I’m interested in updates!

hi tracy…:)

im franciz from philippines..:),,it’s really sad that you have to end your season this year..:),,but it is much distressing if the the rockets will move you to another team..:(

I missed your explosiveness,,your versatility,,and you humble heart in court..:),,whatever happens we will wait for your comeback..:),,i know that micro fracture surgery is a invasive procedure but it is better for your health..:)

Championship is a long way,,it takes a lot of hardship,,critics,,you can tell it all..:),,but without your heart on it,,you will never achieve that,,

I’ve seen you’ve work hard,,and you always put your heart on that..:),,i really believe in you..:),,” one team needs a hero and a hero needs a team..:)”..

We will waiting for you..:),,get well asap..:)

see yah..:)

腿好些了吗?腿还痛吗?
我的世界因为有你才会美,我的天空因为有你不会黑。
哥哥,还是我。我就快开学了,所以我想在这几天每天都来给你留言。我对你的喜爱与崇敬无法用言语表达。
自从知道你本赛季报销以来,短短几天,对于我来说就像漫长的几个世纪。每当我听到、看到责骂你的语言,我的心就像在滴血,痛的难以忍受!心里总是很埋怨的一遍一遍的重复着:求求你们不要再说了!那不是他的错,伤病是谁也不想的!我的心痛的让我不敢再看……此时此刻,我想你会比我更痛一百倍、一千倍……我从未后悔做你的铁杆球迷,如今面临这样的结果,我无力改变别人对你的批评与指责,但也没有任何人可以改变我对你的衷心,也许这是我唯一能做的……
我很希望你可以看到我的留言,并且可以回复我,告诉我:你很好!(行吗?)你伤心我同样会很难过的。坚强!我永远会陪你一起走下去。我相信下赛季你一定会回来的!(篮球几乎是我生命的一切,我就是这样一个执着、固执的女球迷。)
这一刻,我只想祝福你,祝你早日康复!
永远的NO.1(1号)
(我的英语不好,请原谅。)
Legs better it? Legs still hurt?
My world because you have only the United States, my sky because you do not have black.
Brother, or me. Soon my school, so I think in the past few days, came every day to your guestbook. I love and respect you Words can not express.
Since you know that since the reimbursement of the season, a few days, for me as long centuries.Whenever I hear, see scold your language, my heart just like in the drop of blood, the unbearable pain! Was always blaming the repeated over and over again: Do not beg you to speak! It was not his fault, patients who do not want the! Let my heart I dare not look at the …At this moment, I think you will me more pain than one hundred times, a thousand times …I never make you regret fan now facing such a result, my inability to change others to your criticism and blame, but nobody can change me to your heartfelt, and perhaps this is the only thing I can do …
I very much hope that you can see my message and can reply to me, told me: You are very good! (Right?)You hurt me the same will be very sad.Strong! Forever will accompany me along with you. I believe that next season you will definitely be back! (Basketball is almost all my life, I am such a persistent, stubborn female fans.)
This moment, I just want to bless you, I wish you a speedy recovery!
Forever the NO.1 (1 No.)
(My English not good, please forgive me.)

T-Mac这是你最不顺的一个赛季,同时也是我最伤心的一个赛季,接下来的比赛都不能看到你的身影了,相信你做出这个决定的时候也是痛苦的,但我相信你会回来的,不管什么样的你永远都是我心中的神!!!因为爱上你所以爱上篮球!!!

Jay Crayton | on 22/2/09

you the greatest ever tmac.im tired of hearin all these fools clown yo name so when you come back next year and kill the nba they all gon have they mouths shut and try to hop on the band waggin but i aint havin that.im yo TRUE fan.i hate blue with a passion but when you played for orlando i wore it to support you.i was so happy when you came to htown because you was in texas and you wore red.you been my favorite player every since u killed the knicks when you played for toronto and that was a LONG time ago.next year you gon win it all,and evryone gon see what the deal is square bidness.you my idol tmac,i told my t.jones my main goal in life was to meet you.ill never be nowhere as good as you no matter how hard i try in basketball but i still try. but when i hoop i try my hardest to immitate you.your go to crossover moves,the way youy move and release the ball.its just that im 6 feet so its kind of hard to feel like im you.you the best score and player in the nba and imma be prayin 4 you and your family square bidness.keep yo head u and b eazy….peace

Kenn Arroyo | on 22/2/09

heh Tracy hope you get a good recovery on that knee. I think you are the best player in the world because i have known you since you were in Toronto with cousin Vince, when you were in Orlando there you were a scoring machine, and now you gave Houston one of the most dramatic playoff series few years back. I know you can do it….. Push this team ahead. Help Yao and Artest I hear Brooks is doing much better for the replacement of Rafer Alston. It was just my Birthday Feb 11 to turn 12 and i wished for you to be healthy when it comes to basketball because i care for you. And you need to cary this team all the way to the top. If you can make it please come to the playoff of 2009 im counting on you. Bye

Andre | on 22/2/09

Damn, before this season and all the way up to you announcing you were out, I argued with all of my friends that we were championship bound. While it’s sad to say, but true…There’s no way we’re winning a championship without you on the court. I hope the surgery goes well and you return to the T-Mac that’s carried the Rockets since you’ve gotten here. I’m a huge Rockets fan but an even bigger Tracy McGrady fan and if this is your last hurrah as a Rocket…then thanks for the memories and resurrecting this franchise. Good Luck wherever you end up if not here next year and reclaim your scoring and most talented title you once held in this league.

khasiem sledge | on 22/2/09

i just hope u come back and return to the form when u was on the magics to prove all the doubters wrong. good luck with the surgery

tmacangel | on 22/2/09

Hi Tracy,

hope all is well with you. I really wanted to enter your sweepstakes, but unfortunately had too much going on. And now it is to late. I am flying to Germany next sunday for a month. I was wondering if you could please have that contest again, maybe after your surgery when you recover. As I told you before I have been following your career for many years and took trips to Orlando, Atlanta and Houston. I also have some of your jerseys, but more T-Mac apparel. But there is so much more to you than just that. And the fan that I am doing a lot of research on you, your life, stats and accomplishments, I really want to make it extra special, and let the world know that you are not only one of the greatest players ever on the court, but also a wonderful human being with a big heart. So, is there anyway possible that you will have another contest maybe this summer??? Or is there any way that I can get a widget to you any other way? Please let me know. I will pray for you and your family that you will become the old T-Mac after your surgery. Hopefully, you will keep us posted on your progress. I will be in Germany for a month, but always checking up on you.

Yours truly, Angelika

God Bless You.

James Morris | on 22/2/09

David Garcia | on 22/2/09

Mr. McGrady I am 36 years old and I would love to first thank you for who you are and how you play, you are one of my favorite all time Rockets. Thank you for taking my mind off of the WAR, that we are fighting, with basketball. I am an advid Houston sports nut and thank my hometown teams for giving me an outlet. Having said that, please apologize to the the coach and organization and admit the mishandling of the situation. I want you back in Houston and healthy without a rift between you and management. I want to share with you what I think is the secret to life and how you handle all situations you are in….. Are you ready….Colossians 3 23:24—Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men,since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. In short your team owner and or Boss is God not Mr Morey or coach Adleman. Please feel free to call my personal cell to discuss further.
Your brother in Christ,David. 318-349-5840

Howie | on 22/2/09

I know these days are very tough for you. But, you should know that you are still a super star in my heart. Plz be careful about your surgery and do your best in your next season. Without you, I was even not happy when I saw the HOU games.
Finally, Good luck!!
We, your fans, are always standing by your side.

Bill | on 22/2/09

Hi Tracy,
I wish you to recover quickly from your knee injury. We need you men, your fans need you, the rockets need you… I can’t wait to see you again on court.
Goodbye,
Bill

chris paulino | on 22/2/09

T-Mac, I was devestated when I seen that you were out for the season. I am the biggest fan you have and I watch your games every chance I get. Its not the easiest thing to do since im deployed overseas but it helps relieve some of the stress of a deployment! But work hard on getting back to 100% and I cant wait to see the old mcgrady on the floor next year when you finally get the ring you deserve!!!

Best of luck,
your biggest fan chris

Pamela Miller | on 22/2/09

T keep your head up. Everything happens for a reason. Pray about and take care of yorself. We LOVE you. I am praying for you.

Olivia | on 22/2/09

Hello,T-mac! I’m from China。I’m sorry to hear that you’ll undergo surgery! But to my delight, you will recuperate utterly. Great! Then an outstanding and powerful will be on court again,isn’t it! Yah~~o(∩_∩)o Perhaps, you can try the therapy concerning traditional Chinese medicine,such as naprapathy and acupuncture during your recuperation. I do believe you can recover as fast as a rocket.
Right. You have the best fans in the world. And we have the smartest player——T-mac in the world! We’ll be with you forever!
Blessings

tmacangel | on 21/2/09

I can’t say I hope you are OK , cause I know you are not. I am so frustrated right now, because of the way things went down. You know Ron Artest has a bad reputation, but I gave him the benefit of the thought when he came to Houston. Sorry, but at this point I cannot stand him. How dare he say he should have been a starter from get go. He is not nearly the elite player that you are. I hope Rockets will fail. Sorry, but you and I both know if they do make a run, which is impossible without your guidance, you would not get credit for it. So let them suffer and fail. I am so sick of people dogging you. But happy to know that the real analysts know that they will hurt without you. And realistic fans know , that you never had the luxury of having a Scottie Pippen or Shaq to back you up. You are the best player in my book. I know you are hurt, I am trying to get these idiots to understand that no one in their right mind would subject themselves to surgery, if they didn’t have to. You do what you think is right, and if you are getting a couple mills out of the Rox go for it, you deserve it. I just hope that your career isn’t over, I love watching you play. My husband things that I am taking B-Ball tooo serious, but when I showed him what Artest stated on chron.com, he replied “ Whatever, this idiot will always be a thugaboo, he never lead his team anywhere”. And never will be T-Mac. Sorry, but I hope you will leave H-Town after the way they treated you. Any blind person could see that you was in pain. Just get better Tracy, I will always be on your team. Maybe you will end up somewhere where you can get some help and make a run for it.

God Bless you.

Love ….Angelika

guston mitchum | on 21/2/09

I have love watching you play since you have been in Houston. I think you are doing the right thing. Unless someone has had to deal with the level of pain you are going through they should keep their mouth shut. When a management guy runs his mouth and only knows about $$$ and would not know about pain I just change channels and shut him up. So, for me I would perfer you correct your pain issues now and get back as soon as you can. Good Luck and my God bess you.

Diego C | on 21/2/09

I hope you can get through this and that you’ll be able to be better next season.

As a lifetime T-Mac fan just wanted to say thank you first and foremost. I have defended T-Mac as the best player in the league for a long time. I am still a fan and wanting and waiting for an explosive comeback but sometimes your enthusiam does not seem to be there. Your a great player and I will always be a fan but just like parents are proud of their children as fans we are proud to say we are fans. I am not a fair weather fan but I think you know what you need to get back to being T-Mac!

Good luck T-Mac.

Peter | on 21/2/09

Screw all the mac haters, they don’t know crap about basketball. The Rockets clearly need you on the team. W/o you last night against the Mavs, they were clearly struggling, they don’t have a sense of security any more. You are the head of the team, they can hate on u all they want, but w/o you, the team won’t get far. Get well soon Mac, with the skill that u possess, you would not only get out of the 1st round, you would win a ring. It’s just bad luck, your time to shine will come very soon.

Jalen Jay | on 21/2/09

I am praying for u man. I think it was a very wise decision at wat u are doin. It was best for u and your team. I really couldnt bare to watch my favorite player out there on the court on 1 leg trying to play. All the criticism that u were getting for u so call not playin to your potential, man they arent u and they didnt know how that knee feels . but next year man i tell u , i kno your gonna recover fast and play like u never did before. stronger, faster, better, and lead your team to a ship. Tmac NBA MVP, All Star MVP, and Finals MVP. and Even most improved player. Get well soon mac
Yo boi,

Mac

I know tomorrow is the day for the last opinion on whether or not you make the decision to have the microfracture surgery. Personally I have been following you since your Toronto days as soon as I saw you from the 2000 dunk contest. I understand this has been very tough year for you and I wish nothing but the best for you.

I really do hope you reconsider and come back so you can finally have a ring and also bring one to Houston. Of course it is important for your career and family regarding your health so if the results do come back positive then take care of what you have to take care of. If there is a chance for you to come back PLEASE come back and take care of business!! No matter how much people chatter about this team, this team will not be able to get anywhere without you.

Bring it back Mac.

Kentrick Landry | on 21/2/09

Hey Tmac, I’ve been a season ticket holder for the past 5 years and have really enjoyed it. All I have to say is that you are the only one that really knows your body and whats going on so don’t worry about the media am610 because all they ever do is talk about you. Take care, get healthy and God bless.

Dennis Robinson | on 21/2/09

Hey man, I just want to say get the surgery as soon as possible. Please don’t prolong this surgery, the earlier you get it, the sooner you’ll be able to come back next year. Just forget about this season. The fans in Houston don’t want you to play and nor does the media, so why should you risk busting your behind for those ungrateful “fans”? Use this time to get healthy, get the surgery, and get ready for next year as you come back, and show the league what your capable of, so you can sign with another team that has respectful fans, and and organization that will have a use for your talents. Well T-Mac hope to hear from you soon.

#1 fan,
Dennis

Keith Felt | on 21/2/09

T-mac,
Above anyone else you know your body the best and know when its time to shut it down. Unfortunately things havent gone the way everyone thought they would with Artest comming aboard, but thats life right? You’ve tried to get out on the court to contribute and help the team and thats all anyone can ask for. Its not fair that you have been getting the amount of criticism that you have this year. Dwayne Wade had the same thing just a year ago and no one believed he was fit to play in the Olympics. But look at him now, he has a gold medal and is back in prime condition like he used to be. Take the time to fix your knee and get back into restrengthening it. Come back next year faster, stronger, healthier, and with a even more burning desire to win the title. You are a superstar, despite the heckling and criticism. Just remember, you wear #1 for a reason.

Good luck and best wishes.

David Ortiz | on 21/2/09

Tmac i kno everthing that has been going on has been difficult for u specialy the media and all the phony fans here well any way i am a true houston and tmac fan and i hope the best for u and im sure u will be back and be the same mac that we kno,hopefully u remain a rocket well anyway wherever u go or wutever the situation iz i will always be a fan of yours not like these fans that think everything is a big joke,wish the best with your health and ur career

Tracy-
I am a 15-year-old girl from China.
After watching the video of your visit to Africa.
I move a lot and I think a lot .
the people there are so poor and they can’t pay for education
for their children.most of them still live in the camps.I really want to help the poor children when I grow up.
and Tracy,i think health is the most important.
I would like to see a health you play on the court.
Emm… Your season has come to an end,i think it isn’t the worst thing.
So you have more free time to play with your children, i think they will be very happy !
And keep practising,i believe you will be one of the better players in the NBA next season, or maybe M V P.
Best wishes to you!
(sorry ,my English is very poor ,and i’m just looking forward to receiving your email.Because i want to know more about the children in Africa. )

MAN mAC ITS HARD FOR US TO SEE YOU LIKE THIS, THE WHOLE CITY HAS BEEN WAITIN FOR OUR BIG THREE TO TAKE OVER THE LEAGUE, IT HASN’T HAPPENED LIKE THAT, OF COURSE WE ARE SADDENED BY YOUR SITUATION AND WISH U THE BEST

Adam P | on 20/2/09

Tracy -

Few have what you do. What you have isn’t gone, and you don’t have to “get it back”. You are who you always have been. You don’t have to, and shouldn’t even try, to prove to us you still “got it”. It’s simple - Just be there for your family and your team. You don’t have to perform great in either one; just be available for whatever needs to be done. Whether they say it or not, your team needs you.

Whether it’s postponing the surgery until the offseason and playing to whatever capacity you can, OR go under the knife now in order to win later. As you say, “it’s all on you”. My father used to say that “a real man knows what needs to be done and does it”. You do what you need to do.

We’ll still be here.

Diego | on 20/2/09

there is not much to say but that you are pretty much the reason of why i got interested in the game. by watching u play i havent only improved my skills on the court but my passion for the game has also grown. im a great fan of yours and i really care about your physical and mental health, my comments may be insignificant but i want you to know that there is a lot of people whilling to support you with whatever your next step may be. i am very concern with the surgery you are thinking about going through because ive heard that many careers have eneded because of it. i wish u the best. im not trying to compare you to anyother player because you are the person i look up to the most but why dont u try getting a personal trainer after the surgery. one that would help you deal with your injuries. i think wade is a great example of this, due to his great comback after working with a trainer. try gettig in contact with whoever helped d-wade.

i wish u the best man. hopefullly youll be able to get that NBA title soon.

Sean Flowers | on 20/2/09

Tmac u the best n although i wanted 2 c u play this year n bring a championship home i support u all the way. no matter wat anybody says u r the greatest at wat u do n when u come back ill b lookin 4 u. good luck wit the surgery

鈺勝 | on 20/2/09


I am 17 years old this year! I am from Taiwan.
I am your fans are. Over the past several years I continued to support you. Although you are now plagued by knee pain that can not play you should have the strength, I still support you!

This season, I was very concerned about you, every day you are concerned about the news, read a lot of criticism of your report as well as the Guest Book, after reading I felt very angry and sad because I know that your injuries are really very serious, but you for rockets, for the fans, you are playing injured.

I know that you are powerless and hard! You’re not lonely, fans will always support you!
I hope you can recover quickly. Next year I would like to see 35 seconds for 13 points of T-MAC returned!

elijah lane | on 20/2/09

yo mac IM ya biggest fan i love everything u do no matter what happens i will always love the way you play and u inspire me to better myself on the court
get well soon and come back next season even better than u already are

Dr.Veronica Earl PhD | on 20/2/09

Tracy I’m gald that you decided to take care of yourself. You have one body and your health is very important. I know that the decision was a difficult but necessary one. Never allow another to dictate your life Tracy. Your intelligent and your mind is that of a genius. Allow yourself and your mind to expand to greater limits beyond that of the norm. Take time out to listen to your heart alomg with your mind it will lead you to heights only few have sailed. My toughts are of you and that sailing wind. Dr.Veronica Lee Earl (Neuro)

syed | on 20/2/09

TMAC! yo, i know you’re going through some tough times right now in your career. Just hang in there. There’s alot of negativity floating around, i can probably can see why. But you need to come back and just shut all of the haters up. I believe in you bro. You’re Tracy Mcgrady for god’s sake! We are a good team right now, but in order to be great, we need you. I know you’ll be back, with a vengeance! Microfracture surgery is big, but it’s all about the heart to overcome that. You got this down my man. Can’t wait to see you back with your team!

peace! yo boy syed!

David | on 20/2/09

I believe Jeff Van Gundy.You will return back with your health.
These days,I bought a necklace with your sign.I wear it everyday to hope it will take more energy to you.I’m not surely I express my mean clearly.Ho,put up with it.
I still have my view that LOVING A STAR NOT ONLY HIS SUCCESS BUT ALSO HIS LOW TIDE.I stay with you forever.
PS:Maybe you could learn Qigong,a very mystery thing could improve yourself in China.It could help a person jump higher,run faster,be stronger,live longer and so on.

Happy everyday.

Riverqy | on 20/2/09

Tracy. I know you will feel bad feeling this season. Injury. Pressure. Public opinion. Team. Let you all very tired. I believe that you will return. You next season with a healthy body and cute smile, a strong heart back together. When you hear claims when the season is almost crying with overnight. Mother and her friends laugh at me silly, tell me that Tracy did not know you exist, but I think that it is not, I just believe you are too, too much love to you.I do not want to see their own beliefs on this is gone, you do not want to see any criticism of the news, but I knew that my Tracy made the painful decision to do how sad, how many people will bring shock and criticism. I know that you will smile the face of all things, a lot of people ask me, why is it so love you, I said, I do not know, because that is love, smile, strong and brave, aggressive, game, sweet. All him.Tracy, you will come back to the bar. I will pray for you every day every day health and happiness. I know that “if” the word is too fake, but really have “if” I am willing to put their own health gave you all, as long as you are well. As long as I can see you play, see you smile.Tracy. Come on. I will love you Forever. Forever!!

godfrey bautista | on 20/2/09

Hey man!

I can only imagine how frustrated you are about the injury and all.

So better do what is best for you and for us fans.

All the critics are just saying the things that they see now.

Maybe they are saying those things to put you down.

I like to think you are taking it as a challenge to prove those damn critics wrong!

Just promise us, the fans, that you will become the beast that you were.

And win that Championship ring!

Tracy please man come back and be back to the old normal tmac. My basketball life revolves around you and your success. When your struggling, I hear about it from all my friends, but when you do well, I get mad props from them as well. There are a lot of fans of yours out there just like me that are relying on your success just as much as you are. I just wanna see you back to old form and in talks as one of the best players in the league. Remember your still young and when u retire in ten years or so you can rest the the rest of your life, so give us all you go after surgery. Best of luck with it and prove all the doubters wrong…please. Good luck man. Keep us posted.

Hey T-mac,I’m your chinese fan.I feel so sorry that you are going to be out of this season.Hope you recover soon,and I will support you forever.You are the best player in the NBA.

Ryan | on 19/2/09

Hey Tracy, I’ve been a Rockets fan all my life. I’ve exalted in the Hakeem/Clyde years and struggled keeping my sanity in the Steve Francis years. I want to say that in all my years of watching the Rockets you are one of my absolute favorite players to watch. I love the way you play the game, very smooth and electrifying and you seem like a pretty down to earth guy at the same time

Anyways, I just wanted to let you know what I think of the whole situation. I think you should only do the surgery if it is the only option on the table. I know you have been struggling this year, but microfracture surgery will set you 2 steps back in the long run (and short run obviously). I think if you were to get the surgery your career as a Houston Rocket might be over, and that would be REALLY depressing giving how close we have come together in advancing past the first round. Even if the Rockets advance this year, it won’t be the same without you because in my opinion, and a lot of other fans- you are the FACE of the franchise!

Anyways, just wanted to tell you that me, my family, and friends are alyways pulling for you no matter what your decision is and I hope we can see you continuing to play!

Still by your side come back stronger and explosiveness.

Big Ed | on 19/2/09

Mac we all know that when you’re healthy there’s not a player in the league on your level. Get healthy so you can laugh at all of the haters who wish they had your ability. I love watching some 5’10 guy who has never played ball a day in his life say what you should be doing. When it’s all said in done you have to do what’s best for you and your family. You play with an injury like L T does for the Chargers and they may cut you. You get surgery like you’re doing and they say you won’t play hurt. Take Care Of Yourself Playa! I’m Out!

Tarus Turner | on 19/2/09

What’s happenin Tracy my name is Tarus and i am your biggest fan first of all i would like to say that i hope that your surgery goes good and i wish you the best because you are my favorite player i sit and watch every game that you have played and when yall played the Chicago Bulls i seen when you dunked on Tyrus Thomas and i was just bragging to my homies about you i was like Tracy is unstoppable i just wish that you was healthy like you was when yall had played Dallas in the playoffs when you slammed on Shawn Bradley and i told my homie if you was healthy like you was back then i told him that can’t nobody stop you one on one and he was like aw T-Mac is a hard guy to stop but he like Kobe though and everytime that yall will play the Lakers me and him will bet on the game but anyway i am proud that you went ahead and made the right decision because when you come back next year you will be healthy and explosive and i just can’t wait continue working out and tried to stay in shape because i want to see a healthy T-Mac when you come back next year because without you in the lineup mane it just hurts so bad because you have been going through a lot of injuries and everybody have injuries not just you but everbody i hope that i see you play all 82 games when you come back cuz i am a Houston Rockets Fan and whatever team you go to next i am right with cha but my thoughts and my prayers go out to you and i hope that everything go ok for you because you have alot of fans and we miss you dearly so get better and stay healthy and hopefully your fans can get a explosive Tracy McGrady next year keep your head up my boy and be easy got much luv for you mane peace and take care.

Robbie | on 19/2/09

Hey Tracy

Although I am a die hard Utah Jazz fan, I just wanted to wish you the best. That is unfortunate that an inury has ended your season. The Jazz have been bit by the injury bug too, especially Boozer. The first time I saw you really play was when I was on vacation in Orlando and you guys were playing the Kings. This is when the Kings were studs. You and Bobby Jackson got into it, and you both got ejected. I saw how good you were though. I know Utah isn’t your favorite with the harsh fans and the rivalry and all, but even as one of those die hard Jazz fans, I wanted to wish you well, recover soon. At the end of the day though, anyone of us would love to be in your position, especially all those analysts that never made it as athletes.

Hi Tracy I am lipeng from China and I am a funs of you I see have you’s game if no you I don’t see and my English so bad I hope you can recive mine Thanks

Kate | on 19/2/09

Tracy,
I am so sorry to hear about your knee. Get well because the Rockets need you. The championship cannot be one without number 1 out there on the court so get well soon. I can’t wait to see you playing again.

Maher Ali | on 19/2/09

T-Mac you are my favorite player in the whole wide world! I hope you come back from your knee injury next year being one of the elite players in the Nba, like you’ve been doin in the past years. I think next year will be a great season for you being healthy and all. Alot of people don’t belive in you but I do. So all I wanted to tell you that I don’t care whatever happens your my favorite.

Bob | on 19/2/09

Ever since I heard you were coming to the Rockets I’ve had hope for the rockets I hope you bring hope when you come back. Houston loves you!

xuefei | on 19/2/09

Tracy,I’m sorry to hear that,because I don’t like watching Houseton’s games without you,but it dosen’t matter,I’m waiting for you,take good care of yourself,I’ll always surpport you,believe yourself

khalid abukar | on 19/2/09

hey t mac, i hope u recover from your surgery well. well enough to lead the rockets to the NBA FINALS i have been waiting a long time too see u get out of the 1st round and its frustrating but i cant imagine how frustrating it is for you so i send you my best wishes wand will always be your biggest even if your injured for the rest of your career (which wont happen!)

ONE LUV

ashley cao | on 19/2/09

tracy i am dissapointed to hear that you didnt coversate this with the rockets team and that youre out this whole season. im not sure if youre going to help the rockets go to the playoffs or not but you know they cant do it without you! but if taking ths season off to have surgery again sound like the best solution, then you should go for it! as your fan i want you to do whatever you can to be the same t-mac when you first came into the league. please come back as the t-mac we all know and love, and will HELP the rockets with averaging 20+ a game!

godbless | on 19/2/09

Hope you recover to full strength. We all hope what happened to Stoudemire after his microfracture knee surgery will happen to you as well. All us fans are praying you come back like the T-Mac we know and you can get that championship next year!

clouds | on 19/2/09

T-mac Come back ! houston need you ! Yao ming need you !

aircode21 | on 19/2/09

Awwww man, this is the saddest news ive gotten all week..

Demetric Banahene | on 19/2/09

T-mac,

I have sported your jerseys, pushing off the haters, and been watching you since you got in the league. You are my favorite player, and I know this is really difficult for you. I feel that you will bounce back like always, but just take your time to make sure you are healed. But in the bigger scope of things, what really makes you my favorite player is the fact that you still feel the need to help others outside of basketball. I’m glad you care about those suffering in Darfur. It’s refreshing to know what really motivates you. Get well, and go get that ring!!! I BELIEVE!!!

Jonathan | on 19/2/09

hey tmac!! all i can say is i wish you the best on the surgery but i hope that you dont get it cuz you artest and yao will be unstoppable in the playoffs. think about it..you almost lead the rockets past the jazz last year by yourself…this year you’ll have yao and artest…i hope you take this chance to get out of the first round and take your team deep into the playoffs

peace

Jonathan | on 19/2/09

hey tmac!!if u do get surgery, i hope u have a good recovery…but this might be your last chance to get out of the first round with the rockets cuz i heard it could take a year to recover from and youll be a free agent in 2010. next year the rockets might not have ron artest, either. im a BIG fan but i think that if you dont get the surgery, the rockets will go deep in the playoffs. last year, u guys almost beat the Jazz without Yao. if you play, it will be you yao and artest…the team is just starting to get good and we all know how good tmac is in the playoffs…the only other team that has more talent than you guys in the west are the lakers. u guys would probably be second in the west without all the losses to bad teams. anyways, i hope you come back from the injury strong

peace

denis | on 19/2/09

i am glad you are getting microfracture surgery so you are good like you were when you were not injured so you will be the best player on the court but then i am also mad because you are not going to play on the court because when you injured your back i was mad because you were not going to play i am mad now because you are going to be out for the whole season peace and i hope you get healthy

yanira | on 19/2/09

hey t-mac i heard about the trade disscusion i wasnt too happy to hear that if u get traded it would be a disapointment u would be letting down alot of ur fans and wat the rest of the team thinks is really messed up and im pissed even though it aint my call so i hope the surgery goes well and wat ever else happens u do ur thing cuz it is wat it is ur biggest fan

franciz | on 19/2/09

Man TMAC you were always my favorite player, and still are, followed you since toronto, to Orlando, to Houston. hopefully you recover. But you know what mac, I have jerseys of you, I have figurines of you, posters of you, I model my game after you, I have a damn fish named after you. I hope you come back stronger than ever but…. (If you have given up on houston, houston has given up on you, if you leave, thats the last time i follow you dog.

Get well soon Tracy ): pleaaase don’t leave the rockets..

Rapale | on 19/2/09

T -MAC you’re the best. I’m a big FAN of you. I just want you to be traded. Houston isn’t the right team for you. I love your Magic game. Since you’re in Houston your health has been “WEAK”, so please play some games before your surgery, and do the possible to be traded. THE BEST FOR YOU, FROM PUERTO RICO.

Jeremiah | on 19/2/09

Hi McGrady….. i hope you recover from this surgery… i have to be one of your biggest fans i watched you day in and day out…. since your rookie years with the Raptors, to your first slam dunk in 2000, to your first game with the Magic, to your 62 points against the Wizards, to that 13 points 35 second miracle, to that 22 game win streak last year. I still think you are one of the best in the league even though so many people are counting you out… I hope you come back next year and show the league that it isnt over for you yet… so dont sleep!!!

chasityclark | on 19/2/09

Freddy G. | on 19/2/09

Big Rockets fan and a supporter of yours tmac, you have brought some of the best moments to the Houston Rockets franchise and for that we are truly grateful. Now that being said i agree with some of the other posts that at times this season and last you seem to lose your confidence and that killer instinct of driving to the hoop and just shooting. When you are clicking you are clicking, Tmac we need you, and for a moment when i heard the trade rumors i actually thought its time for us to move on and trade you but then i thought to myself we can’t do that you mean to much to the franchise and you still got something left in the tank. Keep your head up get healthy, i pray for you and hope you get better and come back with that confidence you once had and healthy first and foremost. Please when you get back Tmac just promise that you will be more confident cause I notice as do other fans that you lack that at times, don’t get down on yourself, dig deep and pull through my brother. Peace and God Bless

Isiah | on 19/2/09

Joey | on 19/2/09

Hey Mac daddy, i am sorry to hear that you are out but somehow deep down i knew that you wouldn’t play a whole season. i even posted a blog on the internet defending you because they complaining about houw you are always injured. i prove with the stats that you have played more game than Ming since you have been in houston. i have been waiting so long to see you get out of t

Man I wish you the best bro… I thought it was kinda ill the way you didnt holla at the team and staff befroe your announcement, but to each his own. I’ve backed you since jump no matter how many hatters come at me with that noise cuz they now I support you. Keep your head up and keep that killer instinct man. At times it seems like you give up on us and pass and shoot like you have lost your confidence(nothin wrong with passin’ it just seems like you doubt yourself) but when you are aggressive we are unbeatable like those akeem days… Keep your head up and I’d love to see in a rockets jersey next year rockin’ that ring we havent had in a while…

Dusty Tillotson | on 19/2/09

Hey Tracy I am devestated by the recent news of your season ending surgery. Its gotta be tough to be in a position where you are truly injured and there are so many people questioning if you even really want to play. Im not from your favorite part of the country (right next to Utah) but I must be one of your biggest fans from around here. I take my grandpa (another huge fan of you and a monster fan of Mutombo) to Salt Lake once a year to watch you guys play. It has been a great tradition for us and we will be there this year March 24. Its to bad you probably wont be making the trip but honestly I do not blame you. If I were you the last place I would want to go is Utah. I could not beleive the way they treated you and the Rockets during the playoffs last year. It was embarasing. I do hope that you will play atleast one more year. I do want to watch you in person atleast one more time.
When I was young I loved Orlando when they had Penny and Shaq. Orlando got rid of both players and I all but lost interest in the NBA. When you came to Orlando it completely rejuvinated my interest and I have been a huge fan of yours ever since. You have been the one solid force the Rockets have had in the playoffs and they would be stupid to trade you. As like many of your fans I am a T-Mac fan so wherever you play is who I am cheering for unless its Utah. Many T-Mac fans followed you from Orlando to Houston. I think you do have the most loyal fans in the world but you also have the most severe critics. You say you are a fighter and I have no doubt that you will listen to your fans encouragement more than the critecs critizism.
Good luck with your surgery and recovery and if you do make the trip to Utah this spring you may not hear me but youll know you got atleast two fans out there.
Thanks for being a great role model and leading by example.
Dusty

Fatlum Rexhepi | on 19/2/09

T-mac, i’ve watched you from here in houston, and i’ve hatched you from accross the pacific, no one has to say how good and dynamic you are cause your play shows it, but for the las tfew years you havent been your usual t-mac…one day your good another day your bad, and sometimes you even say things that you don’t mean. I heard that Morey said that you wont be haveing the this surgery immediatly, why didnt you talk this with at least coach everyone seems surprised from me to your own coach…PLEASE!!! dont get the surgery i know you hate Alston and thats why we got LAWRY in so can you now play as you did before can you be the T-MAC we all know???? PLEASE dont go through surgery we love you too much and the surgery is to risky for your career.

Tyler McCarley | on 19/2/09

Tmac you keep your head up shake all the haters off ya & have a good rehab. fix your knee and your shoulder or whatever you need to. Houston loves you your not going anywhere.But Rafer might be in Orlando so we are going to need you next year more than ever.

Your in my prayers & many others. Love ya

I’m 101% dissapointed with Rockets’ trade Alston… Rockets becoming mad…

Best wishes

Jemell | on 19/2/09

I understand.but i have a question. Why did the Rockets trade away Rafer Alston? That dosent make any sence at all. Now we have 2 guys that is not as explosive and not as good. Rafer was a very very good point guard. I just dont understand why did they do that?

Ritenaow | on 19/2/09

Its ok T-mac. get some rest, while I’ll stepup on your court for you. Come back strong so you can challenge me to a 1 on 1 dual.

Mike Gonzales | on 19/2/09

Hey, T, PLEASE come back to the Rockets! I want to tell my children about the crazy Rockets Championships I witnessed and how amazing players like Drexler, Olajuwon, and T-MAC were! I hope your surgery goes well and you make a Amare-style comeback. Clutch City will be waiting for you.

Rafael | on 19/2/09

Look Tracy who cares what everybody thinks you know I know & the whole world knows your one of the best players in the NBA. If you ever begin to doubt yourself just remember when the rockets played the San Antonio Spurs and you scored 13 points in 35 seconds. To me when I hear the name Tracy McGrady that’s the fist thing that comes to mind. So I tell you this have faith & your time will come when you’ll be on top in the NBA. So take care know that you will always have your fans.

Victor Bonoan | on 19/2/09

Hey Bro,

I just wanted to let you know that despite being disappointed we won’t have you on the court for a quite a while, I am glad that you seemed to have found the best solution to get you healthy for the long-haul. No need to permanently injure yourself just to make the haters happy. Just get better man and know that the real T-mac fans are here and will still be here when you get back. And I know there is no exact answer to this question, but how long do you think the til you will actually be back on the court in a Rockets uniform next season? Thanks a lot for your time and I truly and honestly wish you a speedy recovery and a positive outcome from the situation. Peace to you too bro!

ティエリア・アーデ | on 19/2/09

Namae wa Tieria Ade Inobeitā desu, Tracy McGrady 01 every year when season starts I always been watching you ..coz youre my favorite NBA superstar player and sadly Last 2009 NBA All-Star Game..ive not seen you play at the All-Star Game..it makes me feel so bad ,you doesn’t deserved this kind of injury in your career, unlike other NBA superstars, youre always been humble,caring and when on the court you share the ball into your teamates, but if really needed you’re not afraid to take the final shot for the win buzzer beaters.thats what like about you aside from those explosive dunks,ankle breaker crossovers,divinely swift 3-pointers of yours,I wish that everything will be ok next year for you and the team, Always take care, wishing speedy full recovery after surgery -T-Mac Godbless,

Daniel | on 19/2/09

hey tracy i hope you get better and show us that houston rockets are still a contender

Jason Lovette | on 19/2/09

Damn T-mac I don’t know what to say man. Is this the only option? I hope this just you trying to avoid being traded because their were talks of trade. But this is a scary operation, my older brother had this two years ago when he was 24 and is still having problems with his knee. I’m not going to tell you what to do because only Tracy knows what’s wrong with Tracy’s body. But I wish you wouldn’t do it man, Penny used to be my favorite player when I was like 10 or 11 and it hurt me when he couldnt do what he use to do before the surgery. Now when you came along I was like this is the next big thing, from the first time I saw you play down here in Orlando you’ve been my idol. And to see you have to go through something thats an ending career threat hurts man. Make sure you consider other things before you finalize this option. This could be a special season man, and by the way tonight is the trade deadline and you haven’t went anywhere yet so tomorrow I would expect the team to hear from you. I’ll alwatys support you bro but just make sure this is what you want!

Jason Mateo | on 19/2/09

Lead us to our first Championship!!! Your still the best player hands down in my books

Mike | on 19/2/09

TRACY - PLEASE CONSIDER ANOTHER OPTION BEFORE HAVING MICROFRACTURE DONE!!!

THIS IS SERIOUS. I AM TYPING IN ALL CAPS TO GET YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE CONTACT ME SO I CAN LET YOU KNOW WHAT MY EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN.

I HAD MY FIRST MICROFRACTURE AT A YOUNGER AGE THAN YOU (27) AND IT DID NOT WORK AT ALL. MICROFRACTURE WORKS LESS AND LESS WITH AGE. BY 30 I HAD ALMOST NO CARTILAGE LEFT IN MY KNEE. AT AGE 31 I HAD A MENISCUS TRANSPLANT AND IT WORKED VERY WELL. IT ACTUALLY REPLACES YOUR CARTILAGE WITH A TRANSPLANT THAT IS VERY SIMILAR TO YOUR ORIGINAL CARTILAGE RATHER THAN ATTEMPTING TO RE-GROWSCAB CARTILAGE” THAT IS NOT AS GOOD AS THE STUFF IT IS REPLACING.

THE PROCEDURE IS KNOW AS “MENISCAL ALLOGRAFT TRANSPLANTATION”. PLEASE CHECK IT OUT BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO DO MICROFRACTURE. LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED WITH ALLAN HOUSTON AND CHRIS WEBBER. I BELEIVE YOU SHOULD SERIOUSLY CONSIDER THIS OPTION

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ME BY E-MAIL. I AM ASSUMING YOU HAVE MY E-MAIL ADDRESS.

BEST,

KEN

Stan-P | on 19/2/09

Keep your head up T-Mac I have faith in you.

Cee-Low | on 19/2/09

Wussup T-Mac! I really hope you come back next year and prove everyone wrong…WE REALLY HOPE YOU DO THIS WITH THE ROCKETS AS WELL AND NOT WITH ANY OTHER TEAM...i’m having to stand up for you with some homies and at work too and will continue to do so until you show no effort or desire to play anymore. i know this can be frustrating for you and that’s what “bandwagon fans” dont understand. keep ya head up and like we say in H-Town…“come back next year and “Show Dem Bois” how it’s done!

Davidio | on 19/2/09

T-Mac I am sure you hear all the trash talkin goin around about you. Don’t let that get to you man. Your better than that. I think it is bullsh*t that the media is playing this off on you because you didn’t notify the team first that you have to have surgery. In my opinion, I am happy you did that. The team doesn’t notify the players when they are traded. So who are they to say you can’t notify your fans and sh*t if you have to sit the rest of the year out? Double standards get people no where. Do all of them a favor and come back next year like Stoudemire did this year and show everyone whats up and bring home that ring that you deserve. Just ignore all the bullsh*t man and take care of yourself and let your game show all these haters who you really are. Take care man. Can’t wait to have you back next year. Rockets are goin to dominate!

P.S. Holla back man you got all year to relax. haha

I’ll admit, I was pretty disappointed when I heard this, but it is for the best. I hope this works out for you. I ain’t never goin nowhere

KaanKorkut | on 19/2/09

T-Mac,
First of all,I know this season was hard on you.It was hard on us True T-Mac fans too.See you limping like that was hurting us too.But now there is a possibility of coming back at full strength and I know you will rise to the occasion,for accomplishing your true goals,proving those who doubt one of the greatest scorers and most intelligent players of his time wrong.They seem to forget you have are amazingly talented but we don’t.You will have the last laugh,I know it!Just know this and never give up,You will make it in the end.Stay Positive!

Jake Lozano | on 19/2/09

Hey Tracy, i kno there is a buncha haters out there and i dont kno if u ever read the blogs from the other sites like espn.com and foxsports.com but i just want u to kno im not one of em. I respect your decision to do what your doin. I kno you’ll come back and be like your old self that i was waiting to see this season but i kno it couldnt be helped. You are truly a great player, one of the best ive ever seen. I mean, who can forget 13 pts in what? like 43 seconds. I watched that game to the end. It was the most amazing thing i have ever seen. Get better man. There is a jeweler in town here that has a ring w your name on it. Just waiting for u to make it yours.

You always are the best player! With my best wishes. - Huang Feikai

(I’m sorry. My English is very bad,I hope that you can understand what i said. Expect you write back to me.)

Booyow | on 19/2/09

Keep your head up T! I know you know there’s going to be more fall out about how this came out, about the timing of it all and it doesn’t show you in the positive. What ever your reasoning I personally could care less. I do know that overall Houston has some of the softest sports fans in the country when it comes to giving our stars the benefit of the doubt even when they are clearly wrong. I know that all sports athletes especially the superstars have to lookout for themselves first because the organization isn’t. I think what you did in how you let this come out was (although not taken well by the fans and the Rockets) was something that needed to be done. What I want to know is: was there ever a point where the Rockets came and asked you to take an extended period of time off to rest your knee and to come back when it was 100%? It seems to me that it would have benefited the Rockets and certainly you if you had not been allowed to even start the season less than 100%. I feel it showed that the game is more important than the player by putting pressure on you to get back on the court instead of allowing your knee to heal as it should have instead of making it worse. Now your cast into an even more than negative light by the NBA fans and especially your home team fans. Where as the Rockets get off looking like peaches. But hey, I gotta say by announcing this when you did you definitely put an end to the slightest possibility of a trade. Peace T-Mac and best of luck!

Hater McHaterovic | on 19/2/09

We LOVE u

jonathan | on 19/2/09

I’ll be praying for you have faith in god that he will heal you, and when he does thank god everday for healing you bro, you got to do it. I will be praying. Just have faith and in no time you’ll be dunking on everyone shooting fadaway three’s in everyone face. GOD BLESS your SOUL bro. Just have FAITH....

Tre Coles | on 19/2/09

Tracy man, im your biggest fan, take as long as you need to rest and get healthy because when you come back, youre going to be the best player in the league. Stay and Houston and get your ring man, Take Care.

Hey Tracy,

Man, Ive been a huge fan of you ever since your were with the Toronto Raptors with your cuz Vince. Then, I followed you to the Orlando Magic. Man, those were the years.(only if you could of stayed with the Magic to team with DWIGHT!). And now im hearing that your career may be over with, which really sucks man. Hopefully, you can come back from the injury and be the TMAC that Im used to seeing. God speed with your injusry man and hopefully everything goes well for you which I know it will.

Peace, Kenny

brad | on 19/2/09

dude!!! aw… it came as a hard blow but we all know that u tried your very best by watching how u play and the awesome dunk on thomas!! actually made that clip into a mobile screensaver.. you look fabulous ;)

the league will feel so empty without your presence. it just hurts not to see TMAC flying yo the rack or even hear the commentator yelling it anymore…. it feels kinda lonely… don’t you agree?

besides, do you have any recommendation on what to pay attention to while you are not around? just to sustain our appetite until you return ;)

all the best big guy… take care

True Fan | on 19/2/09

Tracy, you know how sad we are. I know you depressed patients. However, surgery can not we accept a little bit this year, the impact of champion Rockets are the best time to lose some competition though. But the Rockets still strong. And you are no longer young. I do not believe you have that fighting spirit was young. You still have a championship heart么? As your fans I can only pray for you. But we really have no face to other people talking about great Tracy.. T MAC faster better

Hi Tracy, it is really a bad news to us. In fact I was confident in the beginning of this season. It is rather unfortunate to hear that. I was sure u and the Rockets could go further this time. But the injury hurt everything. Now for me, the most important thing is ur heath. I believe that u can be the one u used to be when u come back next season. We wl always stand by ur side and support u all the time. Pls take care of urself and keep us updating for ur news.

sunny | on 19/2/09

我是你忠实的球迷,很抱歉,我不太会写英文,但是我就是很喜欢你,喜欢到我从来都没有发现自己这么喜欢一个人,支持一个人,崇拜一个人,每一次看到你在场上的样子,我的嘴角都忍不住微微上翘,看着你投篮的一举一动,甚至休息的样子,我都觉得很开心,因为你,我喜欢了篮球,但唯独你的篮球我才喜欢,最近,看到网上有的一些留言,我非常生气,我讨厌看到他们这么说你,他们都没有看到你是多么的努力,多么的认真,每次都把莫须有的罪名添加到你的身上,我知道,现在你只是因为伤病所困扰,他们都忘了你以前是怎么拼搏,怎么去帮助球队赢得一场又一场的胜利的,他们甚至不知道你这时所要承受的,不仅时膝盖上的伤,更时心灵所要成受的,我永远都是支持你的,不管你打得怎么样,你都是我唯一崇拜的人,我们会等你健康的归来的,加油

T-MAC, What a pity, your injury makes you down again, it’ll be a good time for Kobe or other super stars, maybe some of your fans will change to support them, maybe some of my fridends don’t trust you anymore, their confidence in you has been frustated. T-MAC, they talked less and less, maybe ther will be just me, still believe in you.But what means your season is ended, one year! we have to wait for one year. Please, when you recover, practice to be the real T-MAC.

Joy | on 19/2/09

Akeem | on 19/2/09

t-mac the nba hasnt been the same with out you and we miss you on the court but personally i know what it feels like to have and knee injury but instead of being out for a season it really just destroyed my hopes and dreams in basketball. as a kid growing up in brooklyn new york i looked up 2 as a role model not just because of what you do on the court but also what you do off the court rite now im 16 years old and dont think because of all the hype and the new players coming into the leaque that your fans are going to give up on you im jus here wishing you the best and i hope the surgery goes well so next season we can c the explosive t-mac agen…t-mac you was a big miss in the allstar game it just wasnt the same but we all kno whos the true allstar at heart…always remember with hope and confidence you will be right back where you need to be

Danny | on 18/2/09

Hey T-mac. We all love what you bring to the game and we are hear for you. I’ve loved watching you. Let’s hope everything works out. Microfracture surgeries are becoming more and more successful as the medical field advances. God Bless you and your family. I hope to see you back better than every next year in Houston and we’ll wait for you. We’ll NEVER lose faith in you and YOU should never lose faith in yourself. Hang in there. Good Luck

Yujun Zeng | on 18/2/09

HOwever…you are always the best player in my heart…I understand your pain …I understand you choose…keep working….I want to see the t-mac who can beat all the defend….LOve you…

Joe | on 18/2/09

Tracy, I just wanted to let you know that you are going to be traded in the morning. the management has already worked out a trade, sorry man. I really enjoyed watching you play.

We will be getting another star though, and will probably win at least 2 playoff series, It sucks that you are going to a bad team though.

Love ya man! I will still watch you! I have nba pass!

张杰 | on 18/2/09

一直支持你T-mac 因为你爱上篮球 因为你选择爱你

Peter K | on 18/2/09

T-mac, wish you the best of luck with your surgery and hope you come back better than ever. It was tough to watch you this season because deep down I had a feeling something wasn’t right. Perhaps taking two steps back in order to take five steps forward is probably for the best. Hope you get right for the 2009-10 season and wish you the best of luck with your rehabilitation and strengthening program following the procedure. I know you can come back stronger and better than you’ve been. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise. Hopefully the surgery provides you ample time to get right for next season. Just try to approach one day at a time and try to get better and stronger and faster each day. That’s my best advice to you and I will be here to lend my support during the road to recovery. You have our utmost support and faith. Always remain optimistic and never lose that fighting demeanor we know and appreciate. Stay positive. Stay strong. Stay humble.

eljhay | on 18/2/09

tmac, get well soon and god speed, You’re the best player for me and not just a player but a superstar to everyone, be sure that you’ll be back next season and take the opportunity to get that championship ring..goodluck. -eljhay

Get healthy and I hope to see you back next season. We need our leader and our franchise back. You wear number 1 for a reason cuz you are bro. Make sure to keep me and all your fans updated

Sincerely,
Your # 1 fan

We don’t care about the championship;
Only because it’s your dream.
In fact, to see you win is the second happy thing,
Watch you play is the most happy thing.

RAY | on 18/2/09

为什么这么不幸呢?为什么一直都有些问题是解决不了的呢?为什么你上赛季那么完美的时候,姚明却因伤错过季后赛?为什么这个赛季火箭招兵买马一切就绪,而你的伤病又如此的严重了?难道我们永远看不到一支能发挥出100%能量的火箭队?真希望你早点好起来!重新变的火力十足,重新带领火箭,团队一起打出好成绩。

Ben | on 18/2/09

Tracy,

I wanted to let you know that the true Rox fans still support you and are so glad to have you in Houston. I know there’s alot of hatin going around but the people who live in the city and support the Rox appreciate what you do on the court and off. You are an unbelieveable talent and true superstar when you’re 100%. Plus the fact that I never hear how you did this or said that makes me wonder how anyone who is a true fan of the game could not appreciate the special talent you are. Please don’t ever listen to the media b/c they are a bunch of hypocrites who support winning at all costs and are willing to overlook serious character flaws for W’s. Handle your business so when you lace em up again you’re going to be the player all of us know you are. We believe!!

One.

P.s. I can’t watch the 13 pts in 35 sec w/o smiling ear to ear. Me and my boy never gave up on the Rox and want to thank you for rewarding your tru fans. I know you’re going to do great things for this city. Wishing you a speedy recovery and good health. I can’t wait for you to come back so you can silence all the haters.

tony | on 18/2/09

we will miss you!

Tony T-Macs number 1 fan | on 18/2/09

Mayne, T-Mac don’t worry man. Everything is going to be ok. You are my favorite player and no matter what happens you will always be my favorite player. Of course you will have people hating and discriminating like always, but when you are on the court you always seem to prove them wrong, and like you say, even if it’s not on the stats sheet you do more than what is shown. As a true rockets fan and Tracy McGrady fan, I want to say thank you for all that you’ve done for not just the rockets and the city of houston but also for me. Thank You

Franz | on 18/2/09

oh man! i feel sad when i heard that your season will come to an end.. but its ok, i know that you’ll be back next season healthy and strong!!.. i hope that next season is your time to take the crown and to prove them that your still the best player ever!!

Good Luck T-Mac!!

Tony | on 18/2/09

Man I hope the surgery goes well for you, and that you can come back to full strength for next season and the Rockets can make a playoff run

Tracy jus stay positive and work hard

Sam | on 18/2/09

T-Mac, Dunno if you read the comments here but if you do…

I think you should look into Characterized Chondrocyte Implantations (CCI).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autologous_chondrocyte_implantation

A study in Feb 2008 has shown that CCI produces better results than microfracture surgery.

Helen Peebles | on 18/2/09

Tracy am so sorry you have to go through this but know it has to be done. Will be looking forward to next season Helen

Allen Bryant | on 18/2/09

Get well T-mac. Hopefully after this we can see some of the old T-Mac again. Sucks to lose you for the rest of the reason…especially when there is really good chance for Houston will make it to the second round this year with all the other elite teams (Utah, San Antonia, Dallas, etc) on a decline. Best of luck and hope to see you back better than ever!

Demo | on 18/2/09

I love you, man. Don let me down. Don’t let me down like this. I know you’ve been dealing with something bad and if you need surgery then go on, have it. But please, be back from there. Don’t just go away like Penny or Gil. Please, man! Take care.

paul | on 18/2/09

hey T mac i am a big fan of yours ,i forever support you

钟昆霞 | on 18/2/09

Hey Tracy,
I am so sad to hear that you will go to accept the microfracture surgery,because we will not see your matches this season.
However, now that you decided to undergo the surgery,we all will respect your decision and hope you will be back wholly healthy.
I wish good luck is always along with you.

Sonya Edwards | on 18/2/09

Hey, T-Mac! I’m deeply sad about the news. I had a feeling that something like this was going to happen but I’m a fan of the game and I was hoping for the best. I know that you’re recieving a lot of friction because of you not first telling the Rockets organization. With that, I have to have an open mind to this. There’s always two sides to a story. I wish you and your family a speedy but well needed recovery through this difficult time. And try to keep on having that tough skin but at the same time watch what you say or do. Just focus on T-Mac and family. Please keep me posted on your recovery.

Ali | on 18/2/09

are the rockets talking about trading you for vince carter

Kalon | on 18/2/09

Good luck with surgery Tracy. I know for sure that you’ll be back causing trouble for many defenses like you usually do. lol Take care man and keep us informed on the surgery and your rehab. Oh and one more thing I know there’s a business side to this game, but no matter what people say including some rockets fans I hope you stay as a rocket beyond the 2009-2010 season. I hope you finish your career in Houston, but like I said there’s a business side to it. But we’ll won’t worry about that until that time comes. Take care Mac.

caoxd | on 18/2/09

Good luck with the surgery can wait for you to be back

reggie | on 18/2/09

I’m so dissapointed and hurt, no one should have to go through this every year. I’m lost forr words.

JP | on 18/2/09

TMAC...Once again to re-emphasize what everyone else was saying…i hope you get better man…without you this team cant get far…yea they might win some games here and there…but youre the superstar…that can turn it on when ever, where ever…I respect your decision to go thru surgery and to fix whatever you have going on in the knees…But as a medical student…and just a fan…im worried that this surgery might be extreme…isnt there something else(any other surgery) that can be equally as effective without having a serious risk of destroying your career? This surgery is intense, especially with rehab and the after treatments…with a low success rate(even though some athletes have had some good results)...I wish you and your family the best in regards to this and i hope you can get thru this difficult stretch in your career…Just know that, we in houston wanna see you win…I have always rooted for you especially whenever you were an underdog…I wanna see you hold that Championship trophy as high and proudly as some of the other greats have…I really admire your talent and skill set and I dont wanna imagine a dangerous surgery that change your career…Good luck in whatever pathway you have chosen and get better…
A concerned fan

麦高 | on 18/2/09

Gracie | on 18/2/09

远离休斯顿,远离姚明,远离阿泰斯特,远离阿尔斯通,我知道我的留言最终不会被发布在你的博客上,但我也知道你会知道我说过这些话.你知道吗?你挡在了一个巨人成为领袖的道路上,因为有你在,他永远都不可能成为真正意义上的领袖,而这个人身后的巨大中国市场带给球队多数球员的利益甚至赶超了他们的薪金,所以在利益的趋使下,他们一个个见利忘义,落井下石。每当想起上赛季季后赛你的拼搏你的努力我都有想哭的冲动,没人会记得最后一场你的数据是40+10+5,他们只会记得Tracy又一次倒在了季后赛首轮。我知道你想要证明你自己,你想要给球队带来胜利,可你一定想不到,你几乎倾尽所有的付出换来的不过是不理解与嘲笑,因为T-MAC无所不能,但却不能为他们带来利益上的收获,有一个人虽然不是无所不能的,但有一样他很行,摇钱树,这名字再适合不过。于是他们将一切失利失意都归咎于你,我可怜的BOY Tracy,我想此刻的你一定伤心极了,你要记住,不管发生什么,我以及那些一直爱着你的人都会站在你的身边,与你一同度过。而且你没有做错任何事,即使有错,也是因为有人先伤害了你,被伤害了而进行自我防御又有什么错呢?一些人他们说你软弱说你不顾球队利益,那是因为他们心里充满了阴暗与消极的东西,所以才看不到你的努力你的伤痛。什么都不要听,什么都不要想,放松心态好好养伤,我和所有爱你的人都等着你回来,你要知道,你的存在对于我们这样一群人来说有着特殊的意义,我们因为你而爱上篮球,因为你而懂得慈善,因为你而学会执着,也因为爱你而变得坚强!我们是如此地渴望着看到你在天空飞翔,就像从前那样,但是你也要知道,即使在最烘焙的情况下,你再也飞不起来,我们还是会看着你的海报告诉别人,“这个人是Tracy Lamar McGrady,他曾经像天使一样带着笑容在天空飞翔,现在他折断了翅膀不会再飞翔,但他的笑容还是如阳光般温暖,重要的是,我依然爱他,一如以往他能飞翔的时光。”

Dennis Robinson | on 18/2/09

Hey T-Mac. Whats up? From what I hear, its celebration day in haterland. (i.e. Houston “fans”, Lakers fans) But T-Mac, I know you can bounce back from this. What I am worried about is the surgery. I want you to be careful about the doctor your having doing the surgery. what i would suggest is that you go to Dr. Dunn in Miami. He’s a great orthopedist and great results have come to those who goes and sees him. THis surgery is dangerous, and can kill your career. Its wise to choose the best possible option when dealing with something like this. You’d want to choose the best doctor for the job. But yea, I know you will bounce back, be yourself, make the all star game, and most importantly win a championship. No matter where your traded, you will do well. Have a happy recovery and I look forward to seeing you next year k. I will be praying for you. God Bless

#1 fan,
Dennis

Rayner LaRue | on 18/2/09

Hey T-Mac, I just want to wish you the best and thank you for being such a big part of Rockets basketball. I do regret the negative comments made by some people but there will always be those ignorant type of people. Only you know what you have been through with the pain and injuries.
I know that you are a winner and hope that you come back strong and stay with the Rockets.
God bless…

Rayner LaRue

Tracy Lee | on 18/2/09

Oh,Man..Tracy….don’t do it …The team need you to lead to trophy.. this year is the best chance to get a title.. you should finish this season, you should do what Kobe did who can ignore injuries. Bec you are the dominate people , you are the capital. without you , the team will be back …God ,,, T-mac ..no

Jason He | on 18/2/09

Tracy, I am so sorry seeing that, and I hope you will get well soon. I will always support you, no matter what happens.
Be strong, I do believe you will be back as the T-MAC.
I really hope you can stay in Houston, and get the championship with YAO. Don’t worry, You are still young. It will be you turn next season!

we are waiting for you !we believe you ..this is my log 也许以后也不会如此的喜欢一个人了吧。。 喜欢他的时间并不长,高二的时候在班里总听到男生们提到这样一个名字,他叫麦迪。。在他们口中知道他是火箭队的,球打的很好呢,听说了35秒13分,可一直没见过那个人。。就在高2,具体时间我忘了,只知道是火箭和爵士的比赛,期间跌荡起伏,分数焦灼着。。。屏幕上出现了一个人,他对着镜头笑了,莫名间爱上了那个微笑,神秘而甜美。也许喜欢上火箭就会加之讨厌爵士,当时对爵士一点都不了解的我,只因为火箭输了,我就从喜欢麦迪支持火箭的那一刻起我也就开始讨厌爵士。。因为爵士,我在看他们第一场比赛之后就哭了,只因为火箭输了。。之后就一直很讨厌,讨厌布泽尔,讨厌基里连科。。。总之爵士队的我都讨厌,可是真的他们球队真的很顽强,无论落后再多的分也不会就那样放弃,这是我唯一欣赏他们的地方! 错过了麦最辉煌的时光,错过了魔术时代,只能凭借书籍,网上的视频去回忆或是去品鉴。。其实真的不会在想为什么在他最辉煌的时候就知道他赏识他崇拜他了解他支持他,我并不在乎那些数据,如果是那样我想我也就不会喜欢他,因为科比,詹姆斯,霍华德,又或是韦德哪个不是得分好手。。可我偏偏喜欢他,把最高的 信仰给 了他 ,一号,不管你在猛龙,魔术,火箭,又或是以后会离开。。到哪都一样,到哪都是以前的麦,有着无人能敌甜美微笑的麦。。不管你伤了,病了,老了 ,退役了,被人遗忘 了。。怎样我都不在乎,怎样都会记得你,记得你的辉煌,你的 落寞,记得 你的笑。记得你。。。记得那个感动了老天的你! 现在也许是你最低估的时候,外界媒体的指责质疑批评麦黑的攻击,自己的伤病,一些麦迷的背弃。。。可是,请相信那些真正懂你的,喜欢你的,崇拜你的 ,一定不会离开你。一定不会,你伤了,我们可以 等你,你要走了,我们也跟你。。。所以请放心我们一直和你在一起。请你一定要健康,要快乐,记住我们在等你,一直等,不去相信舆论质疑,只相信你,相信那个无所不能的你,相信那个会带给我们惊喜的你,相信那个拥有专属微笑的你 你是我最喜欢的人,也是我会一直喜欢的 人。也是唯一一个!!!以后也不会有谁能取代你 麦子请健康 一直等你

We are all trust you.Wish you happiness!

Chris | on 18/2/09

Good luck with your surgery. I’m confident that you can come back 100% next season and get back to your old ways. I actually think you will be better than ever because of all of these people criticizing you. You need to use the criticism as fuel to ignite your explosiveness and shut these people up. I’m sick of hearing these people putting you down and I’m sure you are too. I can’t wait until next season! Good luck and GO ROCKETS!

Lenny | on 18/2/09

As a loyal Rockets fan I hope you recover strongly after the surgery. It’s just so dissapointing that the same thing happens every year man. We as Rockets fans deserve to watch our team at 100% for a full season and make a run into the playoffs. It’s sad that some people are in a weird way releived to hear about your decision for surgery, because the team now basically doesn’t have any question marks surrounding our rotation. All I can say Tmac is that nobody is questioning your injury or your talent, but they are questioning you as a player and a person. We want a championship, and this year we had a team that could do it, but once again our dreams our dashed. Good luck man

Jom | on 18/2/09

I sensed this coming.. but seriously, I’m confident that the surgery will go well and do you some serious good. I’m confident that you can return to your all-star form and be a superstar caliber again. You’re the best, and dont forget that you’re not fighting through this alone. All your fans are with you no matter what you’re going through. I’m a big, big fan of yours and that aint going to change. We’ve come a long way and the route ahead is going to be brighter than ever. Take this opportunity to rest and recover. Once it’s all over it’s going to be better than ever! I look forward to seeing you posterize more players (oh yeah Tyrus Thomas) and knock down that midrage jumpers again. The sky after the rain is always bright. Impossible is nothing, right?

LONG | on 18/2/09

Hope you can recover, we will wait for you!

YeChouzhe | on 18/2/09

Best wishes from the fans in China.We hope the best tmac will be back.

hey man get well soon,have the rest you need,we all know that you’ll be back as explosive as ever,we got your back man,you can prove all the haters wrong,they all suck…hope you have a successful surgery,we all pray for it…We’ll wait til we hear “T-mac to the Rack” again,right?peace man,God Bless…

Crystal McClure | on 18/2/09

Hey Tracy….This sucks! And as much as it sucks for us….I know it sucks even more for you and your family. These kinds of desisions are always hard, but it is the hard ones that have the strongest results. I hope you take this time to heal, enjoy the time with your family and let your passion for winning and playing this great sport grow!
We will miss ya!

Alexander | on 18/2/09

Best wishes for you!
We hope that one day we can hear you say “I am back”

yang | on 18/2/09

Hey Tracey. I really hope your knee gets better. I’m really concerned and I’m really anxious to see you play again.I know that your going through a lot of stress, pressure, and frustration. Boy, I never knew that menacing knee could cause so much trouble. The one thing in the world I want right now would be you to get better and resume your season. If there’s no chance then I really hope you could resume the next season. I hope it’ll only be you who was ripped away from the Rockets and no one else, especially big man Yao. Get lots of rest and don’t do anything cray to injury that knee anymore than it is.
Hope you get better

Yang

sandy | on 18/2/09

hey T-mac, i still trust as what i did before. waiting for you in the next season

Erick Yecyec | on 18/2/09

Get well soon t-mac…. Good luck on the surgery. Hoping you come back strong next season and shut off the mouth who under estimate you… I do believe that you’ll be back healthier and stronger than ever…hope to see u watching the game this season.. good luck

James | on 18/2/09

Hi T-Mac,

Thanks for the update and we wish you well with the surgery. I personally think you’re invaluable to the Rockets’ success, and can’t wait to see you back 100%!

But I’d like to ask, why didn’t you announce this to the Rockets team first, instead of the media?

Thanks,

James

Marty Bowles | on 18/2/09

Hey TMAC,

Listen, I understand your frustration with the media, and with everyone in Houston. I know you have not mentioned it publicly but I could not even imagine how hard it is hearing it. But lets be real here man, you are the best thing that happened to the Rockets since Olajuwon & Drexler retired. Trade talks? What are they serious?? Trade you the one and only TMAC are they NUTZ?? You are a superstar man, its that simple. I know your knee is bothering you. But this is our year!! This is our year to finally bring a championship back to the city of Houston.. Don’t get the microfracture surgery. Please, we need you man. Even at 50% your still better than anyone else on the roster! Please reconsider, that surgery could end your career.. WE need you TMAC.. After you Doc visit tommorow reconsider take some time off and come back for the playoffs at least!!!! This is our year.. I know you have a billion fans, but please listen to this one email and reconsider the surgery!!! Thanks for everything you have done.. Playing for another team next year or losing you for the season would be a disaster for the city of Houston!!!

Thanks
Marty!!

Chris | on 18/2/09

hey T mac i am a big fan of yours, i hope that u come back better than ever and prove everybody that u are one of the best player in the history of the nba. everybody are judging you, saying that is your fault, they forget the old times when u was healthy, but i believe in you, you are my hero.

take care and good luck.

Chris…

Gino | on 18/2/09

Blake | on 18/2/09

T-Mac,

Good luck with the procedure. You are one of my favorite players in the NBA and I have really enjoyed getting to watch you as a Houston Rocket.

Curtis | on 18/2/09

Good luck on the surgery. Hoping you come back strong next season.

Karanveer Singh Gill | on 18/2/09

T-mac, it’s all right. Don’t worry about loosing your fans, we will always be with you. If you take the rest of this season off, you will come back next year like the T-mac we know and idolize. Mac, take your time and I wish the best!

Andrew | on 18/2/09

Tracy!
Im sorry to hear that you’ll be needing the surgery.
Im sad because i could see the rockets winning the title this year. I still have confidence in the rockets. i hope that artest could step up in your place. I do believe that you’ll be back healthier and stronger. Your just barely 29 years old. Michael Jordan has won his championship on his 30’s :p
Just work hard and don’t lose confidence because you have your fans behind you. takecare and see you next season.
Andrew

Tray | on 18/2/09

Stay Strong Tmac!!!!!!! Hope U Come Back Better Than Ever!

A.J. | on 18/2/09

Hey Tracy, I was extremely saddened when I heard the news last night, I admire your courage and your caring doing what’s best for the Rockets and especially your self. I know that when you come back next season you will be 100% and better than ever. You are the best and you will always be my hero! :) Thank you

Hope you get your knee healed fully this season and you’ll be back dunking over everyone next season and shutting your critics up!

Best Wishes!

Carson | on 18/2/09

Tracy, I support you forever! You are the best!

Ms A | on 18/2/09

Good luck to you. I heard on tv today about a procedure where one’s own plasma is used to treat pain. They draw your blood and spin out the plasma. The plasma is reinserted in the area of pain. It has been successful but there is no long term data. Good luck and God bless!

SCHUMBERTH | on 18/2/09

Tracy,don’t worry,forget all the pain and feed everything to your fire.We believe you’re best and you’ll back soon.GO AHEAD,YOU’RE BEST.

Nick | on 18/2/09

T-Mac. Sorry to hear about the bad news. Hope you are doing well. Not going to be the same watching the games with out all you bring to it. I hear alot of stuff on the radio which is negative, some people have forgot the way you played before you got hurt. I hope you dont let the negative talk get to you. I cant wait to see you back and better than ever. Take care. Get well soon.

Andrew Foster | on 18/2/09

Tmac ive never actually seen you play nor ever been to america, but i honestly think you should have done this ‘earlier in the season’ you could have been back for the playoffs. I’m a loyal fan and wont doubt you i never have and never will. but when you decide to hang your kicks up for the last time you should bring your family over to the land down under.

Hope you heal quick,
Aussie Fozzey

Mine Zhang | on 18/2/09

T-Mac,I still believe. Wish you good luck.

Luke Bahar | on 18/2/09

Tracy,
It’s unfortunate to hear about the extent of you injury as well as the necessary procedure. Wish you a successful surgery and recovery. I know you play hard as does the rest of the team with you. Just know that you still have fans that haven’t given up on you or the Rockets. Keep fighting hard and the rest will come into place. Thanks for your composure on and off the court (Darfur, etc.). By the way, I love the comments you make in interviews. Take Care.

Luke

Presz | on 18/2/09

Is there anyway you can rehab and come back at the end of the year to help us in the playoffs? The media is making it look like that would be possible, and your only worried about getting paid when you become a free agent 2010. - ride or die Houstonian

cindy ye | on 18/2/09

hay,T-mac,we are supporting you whenever you are healthy and injured,we love you forever,just have a good rest and we believe that Rockets will win championship after you are fully recovered,come on!

David | on 18/2/09

Hey Tracy i hope you come back explosive next year. today is my birthday and i read the article today and iwas stunned just wanted to say good luck and i was really hopin for a championship for houston but hey the bright side is that theres another year for the Houston Rockets your number one fan-David

This moment two hundred million Chinese fans are in for Yao Ming heartache, his peak period there is a biggest trouble, all the Chinese fans are beginning to regret not choose him and Kobe is your choice

Ester | on 18/2/09

T-mac you are my dude. I have a distaste in my mouth now. My favorite player is sidelined for the remainder of this season. This sucks on so many levels. I always getting into verbal spats. Now I will have to sit through speculation, “ are the rockets better without T-mac?” Of course they’re not a better team without him. T-mac, when all the surgeries are done, MVP 2010, I see it already, Tracy McGrady. Peace,lvoe and succe SS

jats | on 18/2/09

rocket fans will gonna miss you this season t-mac. hopefully and were going to pray that you will gonna have a success full surgery. . we’ll gonna wait for you next season. . .

Ricardo Quiroz | on 18/2/09

That’s really bad news for the team,this year was really promising and I’m sure if you would have been healthy the team would have advanced deep in the playoffs. I wish you the best T-Mac. Come back and be the superstar you have always been.

Good luck.

jez perez | on 18/2/09

thanks for the dunk on ty thomas that was the best dunk all season.

Shawn | on 18/2/09

I understand you are hurt, but why did you decide to go public without consulting your coach and gm? I hope you get well so we could get you out of here ASAP.

Michael X | on 18/2/09

I heard this new this morning at school.
It is sad. But I also wish you could come back health.

Justin | on 18/2/09

Mac, sorry to hear about your season being over! I pray your surgery goes well. Keep your head up, you’re still the superstar youve always been, and ill be looking foward to when you return, just dont rush it!
Peace

Dr. RL | on 18/2/09

Before you consider microfracture surgery - a surgery with a very poor success rate primarily due to fibroglandular cartilage growth, vs the much needed articular cartilage growth, please consider consulting the Dr. Dunn in Miami. He is an orthopod who has a different approach and that may regrow the cartilage with surgery. I’ve referred some people to him. What intrigued me most was that his side effect rate was practically zero, and he has about a 75% to 85% chance of improvement in knees.
Best of luck with your career
DR. RL

Abdul | on 18/2/09

Dear T-mac, Hey, I know you are injured, don’t worry, everything will be alright. You ust have to believe in yourself, and their will be a next year for you. I’ve heard that the Rockets want to trade you, but i don’t think that’s going to happen, becuase deep down we know when you are ready to go. It’s going to be go time baby. Get well soon. And I will always believe in you! Your biggest fan, Abdul Aziz

Tyierre | on 18/2/09

Dont worry Tmac you’ll come back next season healthy and win that ring

Cory | on 18/2/09

Tracy I had high hopes for the Houston Rockets this year and I still believe we can finish strong. I would feel a lot better if you were coming along for the ride with us. I’ve been a fan of yours ever since you came to Houston. I believe we are a better team with you on the court, and I know that next year you are going to come back full throtle and bring a championship back to Houston. What I’m trying is I wish you the best and hope you overcome this injury. But always remember you have fans like me that will back you up every step of the way. We love you in Houston T-Mac remember that.

Your friend,
Cory

Ginubrian | on 18/2/09

I read that this morning. I read how the Rockets are loyal to you and want to keep you. That was very heart warming to read. You take care of yourself now. Please update us. Thanks Tracy.

I know your gonna rehab hard and we can’t wait to see you back in a Rockets uniform next season. Thank you for being such a good role model on and off the court.

YOU JUST NEED TO GET HEALTHY.I HOPE THEY DON’T BREAK UP THE TEAM.MY FAMILY STAY IN HOUSTON. I BE WANDERIN IF I CAME DOWN WOULD I GET A CHANCE TO SEE YOU. GET HEALTHY AND BE BLESSED.

Tyson | on 18/2/09

T-Mac,

I know a lot of folks are bashing you right now, even in Houston (WHICH IS JUST RETARDED), but keep your head up. You still have plenty of loyal fans that support you and believe in you! Hopefully next year you COME BACK STRONG, cause H-Town needs ya!

I had microfracture & ACL surgery in Sept and I am already starting to snowboard again, so stay positive and stay focused and it will all work out!

I was hoping to get to see ya play when the Rockets came to Denver in a couple weeks, but it is what it is. The main thing is to get yourself better and show the doubters up next year!

I wish ya all the best with the surgery, we’ll see ya on the court next year….AND IT BETTER BE IN A ROCKETS UNI BABY! =)

Tyson

John | on 18/2/09

While I’m sorry to hear about your surgery and wish you the best, I’m very disappointed in the way you chose to handle the breaking of this news. It’s not fair to either the Rockets or the fans to make these declearations via the media and before exploring every alternative. Best wishes for a full and complete recovery.

Shoaib | on 18/2/09

Mani always stood up for you when my friends told me that you are trash but you are still a star just like les alexander said
I still think you should have informed coach rick adelman about this
So what would you have said if you got traded for vince carter
you come back good next year because everyone has high hopes for you because you have set this standards too high to go from houston with out nothin but a first round exit

brendan | on 18/2/09

when you are health you are better than kobe, wade and james. i hope you have a good surgery because the rockets need you. came back 500% next year your the best.

Marge Glusak | on 18/2/09

Joe The Great | on 18/2/09

T-Mac, I love you man but I really hope you come back 100% healthy next season. This is not a procedure to mess with so you need to rehab correctly and come back strong. Please try hard in your rehab.

Steve Gendi | on 18/2/09

We all believe in you. You are the best of the best, no matter what happens all the true fans will still have your back. I wish you the best with your surgury and hope that your knee gets better. Enjoy your time off!

LINA | on 18/2/09

T-MAC, AS WE ALL WITNESS THIS SITUATION IS ONE THAT HAS BEEN VERY FRUSTRATING AND ROCKY FOR YOU, YOUR TEAMMATES AND THE ROCKETS ADMINISTRATION. HOWEVER, I DO BELIEVE THAT THE DECISION YOU MADE IS ONE THAT HAD TO TAKE PLACE. NOT ONLY FOR THE ROCKETS ORGANIZATION, BUT MOST OF ALL FOR YOUR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL WELL BEING. SO, REGARDLESS HOW UPSET OR SADDEN YOUR FANS OR OTHER INDIVIDUALS MAY GET, THEY MUST RESPECT YOU AND THE DECISION MADE BECAUSE IT’S THE BEST AND MOST RESPONSIBILE FOR YOU. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR SURGERY AND EVERYONE IS WAIT FOR YOU TO MAKE AN EXPLOSIVE RETURN TO THE ROCKETS AND HELP US GET TO THE NBA FINALS FOR THE 2010 SEASON. BEST WISHES, GOOD LUCK AND HAVE A SMOOTH RECOVERY, FROM A TRUE FAN

shaun medwynter | on 18/2/09

whats up t-mac. Idolize you and everytime i go to school i always talk about you. people are always telling me that you’ll never be what you once were and i highly doubt that. I think its just a matter of time before you reach 100%. i was so hyped up when i saw that the nets were playing the rockets yesterday because i thought that your knee got better and u were going to play. But that wasn’t the case. i was so sad that u were not playing that i didnt even bother to watch the game. You are my favorite player and the only reason i watch the rockets play is to see you, otherwise i wouldn’t care about the rockets. i was so shocked to see that u were not going to play the rest of the season that i almost broke out into tears and im a boy and im 15 years old turning 16. the only reason that i bought the league pass was just to see u play and now that has all gone to waste.i am hoping that u read this message and let the fans no if your even going to play if the rockets make it to the playoffs this year. I am begging you mcgrady to tell us, im your number 1 fan and please get better soon.your not an underdog, you are one of the elite

luka | on 18/2/09

Goog luck Tracy

Frank | on 18/2/09

T-Mac,
Sorry about the injury. I enjoyed watching you play in Houston.
I don’t think you will be back, bad timing with the Artest trade and everything.

Kamron White | on 18/2/09

Hey Tracy, I think you are doing the right thing, thinking long term. I thought you might not heal completley but I thought you’d play in the play-offs. A 70% T mac is better than no T mac. I know that everyone is saying you are no good but when you get healthy and can stay that way you are one of the best players to ever play. People talk about LeBron being one of the best but if you look back at what you did when you first came in the league it was the same if not better than LeBron. People tend to foget that you are a 12 year veteran. I should know I’ve been a fan of yours since your first year in orlando and switched to a rocket fan when you got traded. Get better for next season so you can take us to the Championship.

Peace,
Kam

Fabian | on 18/2/09

Of course it is frustating for both you and the Rockets. But all in all I’d say that this is the best decision, because playing 2 or 3 games and then being injured for like 4 to 5 games doesn’t help the team. So you should wait till the knee is at 100 %. And when the knee is at 100 %, I’m sure you’ll play like the years before. I can only say: You’re one of the best players in the NBA and one of the most important parts of the Rockets and losing you would be the worst thing that can happen. Best wishes from Germany!!

Yanira | on 18/2/09

tracy i hope the surgery goes well cuz i want to see you in action and show everybody how its done in houston cuz you are number one and my favorite player always good luck ur number 1 fan

Irfan haider | on 18/2/09

you are my favorite player i cant believe you are actually out for the season. if anything happens like you get traded please come to new york. just don’t go to Boston or Los Angeles.

Zo | on 18/2/09

T-Mac,

I knew something wasn’t right with you this season. There is NO WAY the guy that scored 9 pts in seconds to beat the Spurs is healthy I thought. I’ve been doing some research on the surgery your about to have. Can you give us loyal fans any further insight? How big is the lession area? Is it in a place that gets ALOT of impact? Man at least your still ‘just’ on the inside of 30 yrs old. After you have surgery, take your time…enjoy being with your family…and follow the doctors instructions to the LETTER. I’ve read that the difference between success with the surgery i.e. (Amare & J. Kidd, J. Stockton, Z. Randolph) and failures (C. Webb, J. Mashburn, Terrell Brandon, Allan Houston). Since your going to have alot of time on your hand to rehab, here’s one of the links where I found some of the info. :-)

Stay Positive! Come back next season like that T-Mac of old, Shut the haters up and help Yao bring a title to Houston!

Good luck dude. This really does suck, but I think the Rockets are way better off without you. Well, if you play how you did this season they are, but hopefully if you ever do recover from this injury, you will play like you used to. Im not sayin like 2002 thats probably not possible, but like 2007 t-mac would work for me.

Zolimit | on 18/2/09

Hi Tracy, thanks for the update.

Mattia | on 18/2/09

Tracy…you did the best thing…i just hope that you stay in Houston…i’m asking you as a fan to be back next season healtier than ever, the haters can talk all they want but as you said “i’m going to have the last laugh” ....show why you’re a star…peace

Mattia from italy, loyal 4 ever!

Hey Tracey first and foremost I am sorry to hear that you will have to have micro fracture knee surgery. I wish you a full recovery, may I also suggest when you return back to the court that you take your time and make sure that your knee is fully healed. Please also loose some weight, i think that has also played a part into you having knee and back problems. Your body frame and structure is made to only carry a certain amount of weight. I think that is what also contribute to Penny having the knee problems because of his weight. Also look at Stoudamaire at Phoenix he took his time and came back and he also lost 15 pounds. It takes a lot of pressure and wear and tear off of your knees. Please take what I am saying into consideration. You have always been my favorite player and I want you to come back like the T-Mac Of the old. God Bless and have an successful surgery, and speedy recovery.

Ryan | on 18/2/09

Tracy…

I wanted to wish you the best with your knee and hope that you can come back harder, stronger, and faster than you have ever been.

Prove all these haters wrong… Just know the number of fans you have outnumbers the number of haters by a landslide.

Heres to hoping you finish your career in Rocket Red!!! Get well please…

Caleb | on 18/2/09

Hey T-mac. I had a feeling that you’d opt for surgery this season. I could tell early on that you didn’t have you’re usual explosion on the court. I’m glad you aren’t going to keep playing through it and risk hurting the knee worse. I know there was a ton of pressure on the Rockets and especially you for this season but who cares. I’m tired of people saying you’re nothing but an injury waiting to happen and not giving you any credit for playing injured and still usually being the best player on the court. I can’t way for next season when you can shut them all up.
I believe in you T-mac. You’re my favorite player and I know you’ll get through the surgery and rehab just fine. Don’t get pressured into coming back too early. Wait until you’re 100% and come back strong man. I’ll miss you this season but I it’s for the best.

Good luck man.

eric | on 18/2/09

you are still tha best no matter what tha haterz say, in mah eyes you are the most exiting player that ever played the game and been watching you since your rookie season and never missed any of your game.just want you to know that im only a rockets fan because of you and if u aint happy with tha rox and decide to go sumwhere i’ll still be your fan even if its a losing team ...hope you feel better man .....cheers

Vitaly | on 18/2/09

Dear Tracy. Now that you’re gone for the rest of the season… There is no interest for me to look after other teams or even Houston… But I support them just because of YOU! Without you the whole league is like a black&whithe; TV with no sound to me. You bring the colors and the sound into the NBA... So with all my heart I support you and wishin’ you best! Take as much time as you need, don’t rush. Don’t think bout nothing, just rest your body… Hope you’re surgery will be successful. Good luck and take care. C ya next season. YOU ARE THE BEST!

Belinda Trevino | on 18/2/09

T-Mac, I’m really bummed to hear about the surgery, but glad that you’re taking care of yourself. I saw the effort you put in at several games by trying to step up. I saw the expression of pain on your face and the sweat on your forehead as you tried to play on several occasions. I want to thank you for being a part of the Rockets organization. You are a wonderful role model to the young kids of today. I’m going to miss watching you play, but look forward to seeing you next season! You’ll always be my favorite player! You take care. God Bless You!

D-Marq | on 18/2/09

Well Mr.McGrady i hope all goes good we houston Mcgrady fans always have your back. Just take ur time we will be here with open arms. T-mac all day baby

eman | on 18/2/09

cant wait to see u play next season good luck

Paul | on 18/2/09

Hey T-Mac,

I wish you all the best, man. You’re my favorite player. I wish you a full recovery, & hope that you come back to shut the holes of all of the haterz.

I myself had a tib/fib ankle break back in ’02. I had five surgeries, & couldn’t even walk for nine months because the first two bone grafts didn’t take. I had pretty much the same injury as Grant Hill & Garrison Hearst. I sorta know what you’re going through. I will never be 100% of what I was, but I’m good enough. There are way more important things in the world than playing basketball. Your family, your fans, your friends, & your health … that’s what matters.

I wish you all the best & hope you make it back to Toyota Center to help the Rockets win some games.

Marzetta LeBlanc | on 18/2/09

T-MAC im your biggest FAN!!!! I LOVE YOU!!! I think you are the best player. I wish nothing but the best for you. Take your time and get whatever is wrong with your knee fixed. We the ROCKETS FANS need you back next year. Take care of yourself and im praying for you to have a speedy and successful recovery. I will miss seeing you out on the court. You are #1.
Love you,
YOUR BIGGEST FAN
ZETTA

Darlene Schweter | on 18/2/09

Hope you can return to play the way we are use to seeing you out there on the court. Good luck and do as the Doctors tell you, don’t try to rush back on the court, in the long run that doesn’t help you. Darlene from Houston.

Enter your name... | on 18/2/09

I’ve been a big fan sine we got you in the Steve Francis trade. I know people say things about you like how you can’t play a full season and I say well let me see you go out there and do what Tracy does day in and out and tell me how you feel! I allways got your back. I pray hope that you’ll come out well and we can have the year that we should have next season! Cluth City 3 is on its way!

hotfire123098 | on 18/2/09

Tracy, I too believe god has a plan for you and something good is on it’s way just keep believing and don’t give up and god will take care of the rest

Joseph Ero | on 18/2/09

I hate to hear the news, T-Mac, but glad at the same time. You’re not having surgery because you want to run away from playing the rest of the season. You’re having surgery because it’s painful playing on a knee that is nowhere near 100%. And if skeptics can’t understand the pain and suffering you’re going thru, then ignore them as much as you can, because to still have tons more fans than foes. Keep your head up and rest as much as possible, because next yeay you’re bringing home the All-Star MVP trophy, season MVP trophy, Finals MVP trophy, and especially the NBA Championship! Regardless of what anyone says, I say you’re the best player in the NBA when you’re healthy. (Yes that includes being better than Kobe as well.)

eric | on 18/2/09

we gonna miss you.. get well soon and see ya next year!

David Dalati | on 18/2/09

david Dalati with 790 and KTRH radio in Houston. Tracy: Rockets coach Rick Adelman says he’s upset about finding out about your surgery via the media. Do you have any response?

Thanks and good luck

eric | on 18/2/09

yo, t-mac. i heard the news. =\ and you know what? eff the haters. they ain’t you. they don’t have to go through the things you have to go through. so if you feel pain in your knee and after your what.. 11th season in the league.. you think it’s serious enough to call it quits for the season. then shiet. do what you gotta do yo. forreal. eff the haters. i know this had to be a major important decision for you to make. one would have to think that you know your body the best.. and if something ain’t right… something ain’t right. ya gotta handle yo business.. just like everybody else. so do what you gotta do. i’m sure the rest of the Rockets will hold down the fort while you’re gone. the game of basketball ain’t gonna be the same without you tho. so, you make sure you come back now.. y’hear? =) the nba isn’t ready for your permanent departure. i know i’m not.

take care man. we’ll see you next year.

Paolo | on 18/2/09

sup T-Mac. As one of you’re die-hard fans, i would like to extend my patience to your return. Please get all the treatment, REST, conditioning and a lot MORE REST you need. looking forward to the high-flying Tracy everyone has looked up to. God Bless and MORE POWER!

peace out!

Luca | on 18/2/09

Good luck man, you’re the BEST!!!

Luca | on 18/2/09

BEST LUCK from Rome man, I wish you the best ‘cause you’re one of the top player out there and watchin you play is something special!!!
I still remember your 13 points in the last 45 seconds against the Spurs in 2004, one of the best NBA moments of all time.
Supporting you from day one, from your first NBA game ‘cause you’re born to be the star you are now!!!
Surely you’ll be in perfect shape for the next season, we’re waiting for you ‘till now.

Good luck man, all your TRUE fans are with you!!

Robert Gillebaard | on 18/2/09

Good Luck in your recovery!!! I have had season tickets for years and I know how great you are in the playoffs. I know you were not yourself this year. Get that knee fixed and I am sure you will back to yourself next year with the Rockets. Media and short term fans will turn for you and agaist you in a second, true fans like me will understand the situation and support you and the Rockets thru the good and bad times. Take Care!

klove | on 18/2/09

I agree with one of the comments, season changes effect both of my acl knees. I hope for the best, but remember it took amare stoudemire awhile and shorten somewhat chris webbers career. It’s still a relatively knew proceedure, and what I have found out from my knee surgeries, everyone’s body does not react well to surgeries. I know first hand. I hope you come back full strength, you are on my short list of favorite players of my life of playing and watching ball!

Brett | on 18/2/09

I hope you get better T-mac, i will miss watching you on tv but if this means getting you into better condition for the next season, I will let it happen.

Good Luck

Hitman | on 18/2/09

Hey T, maybe it should go this way…Sometimes You have to say “I quit now” just to be back stronger and better later…It drives me mad, that the haters still dodging at You: You are finished, You don`t show heart, You are lazy…I truly belive You didn`t played well `cause You had reason. Not, because You lost faith in Rockets, teammates and You simply just didn`t care. But I think, You lost yourself, Your abilities, mental and phisycal confidence, YOU`VE STILL BEEN INJURED - simple as it is. It is all connected with this unlucky knee.

I`m still with You, as You are Rocketman. And I will be waiting, even to the next season(it`s impossible You would came back for the play-offs?) to see and hear agin:

T-MAC TO THE RACK!

T FOR THREE!

T-MAC FOR TWO AND A FOUL!

Man, You`re an Icon! Take care T :)

Harris | on 18/2/09

Tracy,please remember no matter what happen, we will always be your side.So you just should be healthy and happy.I believe u can go thhrough this bad trouble and finally get what you want.
God bless u and I love you!

KEVIN | on 18/2/09

IT SEEMS IN THE PRESS THAT THE TEAM DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT THE SURGERY DECISION UNTIL YOU TOLD ESPN....SOMEONE FROM THE TEAM SHOULD COME OUT AND SAY THAT THEY KNEW ABOUT IT….HANG IN THERE TRACY...WE NEED YOU BACK!

Dylan | on 18/2/09

that sucks man : again no play-offs for you. I saw at your running style that your knee wasn’t healthy so maybe it’s better to have a surgery and be ready for next year. I became of fan of you when you knocked down those 3 pointers vs San Antonio ! Thx and hope next year will be better !

peace man

grtz Dylan

Josh | on 18/2/09

Hey Tracy. I’ve watched every game this season and have seen how the bad knee has limited you. I hope your surgery and recovery go well. Like some others have said, shrug off the haters, only you know your body, and how it feels. The knee was limiting you and you made the right choice for the future. Push hard during the rehabilitation period and come back better than ever. I know Microfracture surgery is a big deal, but if you stay strong, I know you can come back and be the dominant player we know you can be!!

I wish you the best!

dami | on 18/2/09

There is always a reason for everything, “we fall down and we get up” you are a magnificent player and they all(haters) know it. so when they talk trash you just say i’ll see u next season. your presence would be missed.

i’m going to keep praying for you and ur family!!
see you next year!!
O YEA, EXCELLENT PROJECT IN DARFUR. GOD BLESS U!

周跃宾 | on 18/2/09

Tracy,support you forever!I am waiting for you.
Best of luck!

Britnee' | on 18/2/09

Hey Tracy…It’s sad to hear that you are done for the season. And that you have to have more surgery on your knee. But hey…..you gotta do what you gotta do. This season has been very frustrating for you im sure. Because you are a very talented player but your knee has stopped you from doing what you do best..and thats being a dominant player. I think that this is best for you. You need this time to get your knee back to 100%. Because we all know that when you are healthy you are a beast out there on the floor. Yeah this is a sad situation but this is what’s right. I’m sure the Rockets are going to do well and they are going to do their best in the playoffs. And to the haters the ones that think you are done for and that you are a digrace and all that stupid stuff. Shake the haters off!!! They don’t matter…what matters is you fans…the ones who been there with you through thick and thin.
I am one of your biggest fans. I’ve been following you ever since 1999…you do major damamge when you have the ball in your hand and you are a good player. And i’m have faith that you will once and for all make it out of the first round of the playoffs!!!! Good Luck with your surgery!!!

Taylor P | on 18/2/09

This will only make you stronger in the long run. I know this is a low point in you life, but I’m sure you will be able to bounce back. I’m hoping you are able to stick around for next season. I don’t care what anyone else says, I love having you here.

Rehab like a champ

eric | on 18/2/09

yo, tmac. i heard and read the news. i’m really sorry to hear that man. words can’t express how you might be feeling right now. i wish you and yours the best of luck during this rehab period. keep your head up. stay strong. h-town got yo back. eff the haters. all they do is talk anyway. you’re more than just talk. i see your dedication. i feel your heart. so through the good times.. and the bad.. we are here for you. the game of basketball isn’t the same without you. get better soon. one. eric

jovan | on 18/2/09

Li Huang | on 18/2/09

We stand always by your side. God bless you, Tracy!

Jim Spear | on 18/2/09

Tracy, Sometimes in life we have situations that we can control and other’s we cannot. In this case, this is uncontrollable. I pray that God will bless you and keep you. As you go through surgery, He will protect you. No matter how long you take to come back to basketball, be it in Houston or somewhere else, the most important thing in life is your health-Your family needs you. People will always talk but that does not change who you are. Thanks for helping my brothers in Sudan. Keep up the good spirit and big heart. Wish you and your family well.

Jim.

Dalius(tmacer) | on 18/2/09

oh my god… I am disapointed in every angle… I thought it was Rockets year… But I respect you decision TRACY - Healt is the mos important thing. I jus want to wish you luck undergoing surgery. Waiting for your comeback next season. HOPE YOU WILL BE 100# or more :D and it will be Rockets year. BEST WISHES FROM #1 FAN FROM LITHUANIA :)

man i hope the rockets can get ur cousin u and vince carter on team again man championship but next year i hope u be back as the old tmac like on the magic when u was the best but i hope u go 2 da allstar game next year ur biggest fan

Charlie | on 18/2/09

T-Mac. Was one of your biggest fans when you were in Orlando. Absolutely hated when you left (keep imagining you and D. Howard together…whoa!!). Just my opinion, but you should have stayed.

Okay, moving on….I don’t sense the fire in you that I sense in Kobe and previously with MJ. I think you have the talent, but don’t see the desire. I remember when you were in Toronto, you were considered a defensive force. Where has that gone? Where’s your passion for the game? Now you’re always hurt. What gives?

I think this is probably the beginning of the end for you, but thanks for all of the highligh memories.

Memolotion | on 18/2/09

T-mac…I will wait you…I waited you when you’r hurt…And i will wait you again.If we will see you healty,i can wait you’r return back.And you’r return will be great.I will wait you…Can you promise us?..Can we hear a lot of “T-Mac to the rackkk” ??

I will wait you…

mike | on 18/2/09

Tracy im deeply saddend by this news because you are my favoriate player int he world and i would watch you everytime i got the chance. I got tickets to the celts game and you had to sit out but i did get a high five! I basically was just a tracy mcgrady fan not a rockets fan because i dont like artest and how he runs his mouth abot you to the media but whatever we will miss you and im really looking forward to next season and havingn an healthy tracy back! GOOD LUCK and my prayers are with you and your family!

Gus- | on 18/2/09

T mac I’m your biggest fan hope you get better soon

fanis | on 18/2/09

man i ‘m here again and always by your side….i only want to make sure you haven’t lost any of your confidence…you are still young and the next year if you stay healthy and be determined you will get the ring…man try hard to stay at the rockets..as i heard they want to give you to new jersey for your cousin,,but don’t give up…try to stay here man..if you be traded after all and you go to a great team try for the ring….if you end up in a team like new jersey,,return to your old orlando for,be an all star and you never know..but just be like you were next year…love you man…
peace

andrew blazon | on 18/2/09

Hey tmac, Sorry about your knee man and that you’ll be out for the rest of the season. No matter waht though , you my favorite player off all time and always will be. Stay strong, recover quick and come back next year better than ever man. I believe in you.

Peace, #1 fan-Andrew

A | on 18/2/09

Say man, you get props from me for backing away so that the Rockets have a relatively better chance to at least progress past their achievements last year which I’m confident they will…I still believe that the problems you have are related to other areas that you may or may not be aware of, but all in all I hope whatever has been causing you pain will be healthfully healed and resolved.

From your off the court and on the way to stardom friend,

A

Tracy. I think God has a reason why you’re in a situation like this. I know .. someday ,everything’s gonna be fine for you . but until that day.. bare all the pain and frustrations. GOODLUCK.

- your number 1 FAN .

ShockerBOB | on 18/2/09

TMAC,
I’ve had ACL surgery.

Now, not only is it extremely ‘shaky’ and ‘weak’ after having ANY kind of knee surgery, it messes with your mind.

You don’t feel totally compatible until your knee is 100%.

That includes jumping, being quick off the dribble..it’s tough and some days your explosive..some days..not so good.

There’s no winning this battle unless you are 100%.

Knee weakness is debilitating as much physically as it is mentally.

GET WELL and BEST OF LUCK. I would get away dude and don’t let the haters get to you. Even IF and only IF you are traded, still do your thing and come back strong regardless of what happens.

Nobody can play at your level or even sniff the NBA, remember that. Haters can talk crap all they want, but would crap their pants if they played 30 seconds in a NBA game.

Best of luck.

ken | on 18/2/09

TMAC pls get well soon .. YOU’re my IDOL ..
You are my inspiration. God bless.

if you want, i’ll lend you my knee :) hehehe

Jahfari Baron | on 18/2/09

I am going to start off by saying i am a big fan of yours. I wish you well with the surgury. One thing that i dont like is the comments by rafer and ron artest and the media. they say it start with you isnt the whole reason they got ron was to paly defence so how does it start with you. They kick you while you are down but let them remmebr that last year you carried the team when yao and company was hurt when they counted yall out. Last year when every was hurt shane,rafer,yao etc. you played hurt while they rehabed. Now it you that is hurt they say all this crap. complaining about ball movement and defence, they need to stop concerning them sevle with waht you doing and just play ball.Rafer and ron has no room to criticize anyone. just do you get well and hopefully you will have a better point gaurd than rafer.

Danielle | on 18/2/09

Tracy I think that you made the right decision.Just wishing you the best.Stay strong & never let your head fall down.Next year is yours.Good Luck!

T-MAC's number 1 FAN | on 18/2/09

HEY TMAC. GET WELL SOON. I NEED AN INSPIRATION LIKE YOU IN PLAYING BASKETBALL . God bless you tracy.

Ryan P. | on 18/2/09

T-mac, were kinda frustrated that you will be missing the rest of the season. But im thinking positively that you will have the best surgery and long rest to be able to achieve our goal next season. be strong man, we will always be here for you no matter what happens. You are still my IDOL......

Love and Peace T-mac

Matthew Lucas | on 18/2/09

Tmac, you are making a terrible decision in my opinion. Stop worrying what everyone thinks about you or how you look to others. Your team needs you. Yes they are playing well without you but they have no chance of making a serious run without your precense. You want everything to be perfect, that is understandable but it never will be, surgery or not. Your team needs effort from you no matter how you are feeling, especially on the defensive end. If you bring the effort the Rockets have the talent to compete with anyone. I additionally feel as the season changes you will begin to loosen up a bit and feel better additionally. Dont make a foolish decision and risk ending your career. I would also advise you see a neurologist, your problem looks like something else the way you are moving and how your core is firing. Be smart about this, your team needs you, your fans need you. Its time to toughen up mentally and fight through anything. Life doesnt always hand you everything the way you want it. Its your job to turn lemons into lemonade. Best of luck no matter what you decide.

Darion | on 18/2/09

Good luck with your rehab and procedure. I’m looking foward to seeing the T-Mac we know and love next year! Keep ya head up.

Branduil | on 18/2/09

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I really thought this could be our year, with Ron Artest, who’s like the American Yi Jianlian, and Yao Ming, who’s like the Chinese Yao Ming, and you. It was like the Dream Team mixed with the Harlem Globetrotters mixed with the Green Bay Packers. Well, I’m sure the team will return to greatness next year. I’ll pray for the best for your surgery. If I ever have a son, I’ll name him after you. May the Olajuwon bless you,

Branduil

P.S. If you ever need a kidney, I have one I don’t need.

jg | on 18/2/09

Stay up player. Comeback strong next season.

Akeem | on 18/2/09

I’m Very Sad That Your Season Has To End Like This & It Just Makes All The Haters Smile. But Everything Happens For A Reason & It Will Provide You With The Rest You Always Needed & Next Season Will Be That MVP & Championship Season.
Then You Can Sign With The Knicks. LOL... JK

Good Luck With Your Surgery & Recovery.

John Kolenda | on 18/2/09

T-Mac,
It’s been a rough year. At times, I’ve doubted you. At others, I’ve criticized you. But the fact is that, when healthy, you are nothing but a great positive for both the Rockets organization and the city of Houston. I own as much T-Mac merch as I do Drexler, and that’s saying something.

I’ll be praying for your recovery, just like many, many others.

Regards,
John Kolenda

Just wanted to take a moment and throw a little hug your way. Although my Husband and I are huge Blazer fans here in Portland, I have turned him into a fan of yours as well. I’ve followed your career from the Raptors to Magic and now the Rockets. I ALWAYS root for you. Even when you were playing against us! I’m so sad to hear this news but am looking forward to you being well more than anything. Personally, physically and mentally. We love you here in Portland - Take care and we will see you again soon here at the Rose Garden. Much love, Kerry & Michael Eiden

THis is what the life is all about, hold your ground Tracy and don’t give up, you’re younger than Kobe and you have many seasons left to play, to achive the main goal (you know what :)). Be strong! We are waiting for more news about the upcoming surgery, god bless you Tracy!

Hi Tracy

I am glad to hear that you are putting your health first. Of course, I wish you the best with the surgery and also a speedy recovery. There is no doubt in my mind that you will once again become the great player you have always been. I am so sorry about everything you had to go through with the media, and so called fans. But it’s all good. I will be watching you next season wherever you may end up.

Yours truly, Angelika
