MCGRADY
Tracy McGrady
G-F · 1997–2013
Tracy McGrady's career
Tracy McGrady played 16 seasons between 1997 and 2013, across 6 franchises — Raptors, Magic, Rockets, Knicks, Pistons and Hawks. Over 938 regular-season games he averaged 19.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.4 assists, finishing with 18,381 career points. He was 7× All-Star and 7× All-NBA.
He entered the league in the 1997 draft, taken 9th overall in the lottery. That makes him a product of the 1990s, and his career totals should be read against the pace and rules of that period.
Across a long career of 16 seasons he was a consistent starter at 19.6 points per game.

About the answer
The answer was MCGRADY — 7 letters, made up of 7 distinct letters and beginning with M.
The optional hint offered that day read: “SG-SF · debuted 1997”.
Why this was a fair answer
Answers are never obscure by design: the pool is every NBA All-Star who debuted in the 1969-70 season or later, plus current players carrying a real scoring role. Tracy McGrady qualifies on the first route, with 7 All-Star selections — a perennial selection rather than a one-off.
With 6 franchises on his record, the shared-team clue was unusually generous here — a wide range of guesses would have lit it up green and pointed the wrong way as often as the right one. He never won a title, which quietly rules out a large share of the most-guessed names.
