In 2000, he joined the Orlando Magic, where he became one of the league’s most prolific scorers and a candidate for the NBA Most Valuable Player Award. His offensive performance with the Magic includes a franchise record 62 points in a game and a thrilling 13 points in the final 35 seconds in a comeback victory against the San Antonio Spurs. McGrady led the league in scoring for two straight seasons while also amassing an incredible 5,000 rebounds and 4,000 assists.
