The Rockets have no intention of retiring McGrady jerseys, and this issue has been shelved with the change of owners. Just recently, Alexander agreed to sell the rocket to Tillman Fertitta, a local businessman in Houston, for $2.2 billion. In addition, Rockets winger Trevor Ariza now wears the jersey number 1, but for now, he doesn't need to change the jersey number before the start of training camp next season.

Those years in Orlando were the peak of McGrady's career, and his single-season scoring record was born here.

Rockets have retired Clyde drexler's No.22 jersey, calvin murphy's No.23 jersey, moses malone's No.24 jersey, Hakim Olajuwon's No.34 jersey, Rudy Tom Janovich's No.45 jersey and Yao Ming's 1 1 jersey. But the magic is different from the rocket. They have never retired jerseys for players. But when you look up over the Amway Center, the home of Magic, you can see a No.6 jersey hanging high, which was retired by Magic for fans, representing that Orlando fans are their best sixth person. Although Patrick Ewing, a famous NBA player, wore the No.6 jersey in his last year in Orlando, the retirement of the Magic jersey had nothing to do with him.

At least so far, Magic has no plans to retire players' jerseys.

Tracing back to the long history of the NBA, * * * 1 17 players were elected to the naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, including McGrady. Only 7 players failed to enjoy the treatment of retired jerseys (provided that they have participated in more than 600 games), namely McGrady, bernard king, arthurs Guilmault, chet walker, Barry Hovell and Ricky.
