Toronto Raptors (1997-2000)
McGrady was drafted ninth overall in the first round of the 1997 NBA Draft by the Toronto Raptors. Chicago Bulls General Manager Jerry Krause had arranged a draft-day trade to send Scottie Pippen to the Vancouver Grizzlies for the fourth overall selection, which he would have used to draft McGrady. Krause was forced to call off the deal when Michael Jordan threatened to retire if it was made.

In McGrady's first two seasons with the Raptors, he averaged less than 10 points per game, mainly coming off the bench. In his second season, he began playing alongside his third cousin, Vince Carter, who would go on to win the Rookie of the Year Award that season. The 1999-2000 season was McGrady's first breakout season in the NBA. He was a starter in 34 games out of 79, averaging 15.4 points per game, and a career-high 1.9 blocks per game. McGrady also competed in the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest, finishing third, behind Carter and Steve Francis.

In 2000, the duo of McGrady and Carter helped lead the Raptors to the playoffs, for the first time in franchise history. However, the team was swept 30 by the New York Knicks in the first round. McGrady was often overshadowed by Carter during his time in Toronto, and he became a free agent in the summer of 2000. In the off-season, he expressed interest in playing for family and friends in his home state of Florida.

  • 1999 - 2000 raps couldve dominated the eastern conference the way the lakers spurs an kings ran the west, the only teams from the east who wouldve possed any kind of threat wouldve been the pistons an pacers. This combo is better than wade an lebron, they flow better. I would take tmac an vince in there primes over wade an lebron

  • great watching young t-mac having fun in a team with his cousin :D

  • if they kept tmac and vince they prolly coulda gone far in the playoffs

  • @bmac8800 lol. Can you blame him? They had just won their 5th title and he's not supposed to have a problem with Pippen for t-mac? lol. Forget about hindsight. How ridiculous did that sound at the time?
