McGrady back in NBA with Spurs

McGrady will lead a US star team to play exhibition games in China in June.

Although the Eagles finished bottom of the league with an 8-24 record, McGrady received overwhelming support in almost every city he played in, thanks mainly to his partnership with Yao Ming as a Houston Rocket.

McGrady averaged 25 points and 7.2 rebounds in his 29 CBA games last season and was voted a starter in the All- Star Game, although he skipped that event to return to the US.

Despite a terrific individual career, McGrady, the NBA scoring champion in 2003 and 2004, has never won an NBA playoff series.

With the second-seeded Spurs set to face either the Rockets or the Los Angeles Lakers in the opening round, this may be his best, and last, chance.

"Whatever happens, I'm just glad to be a part of this environment," McGrady told ESPN on Wednesday "(It's) something I never experienced while being at my best."
