Pistons' Tracy McGrady Motivated To Prove Naysayers Wrong
Tracy McGrady is known to carry a relaxed persona, and he stayed true to form -- for the most part -- upon his introduction to Detroit.
"Anyone that knows me knows I have a chip on my shoulder," said McGrady, a seven-time all-star. "Guys have injuries in this league. I've worked my butt off the last two years and I'll continue to do that."
McGrady, 31, agreed to a one-year, $1.35 million deal with the Pistons last week after playing last season with the Rockets and Knicks. He said Pistons president Joe Dumars has coveted him for years, and this low-risk, high-reward setting was "perfect timing."
