http://www.t-mac.com/tmac/blogDetail/650 For T-Mac, summertime is about kids Tracy McGrady yelled encouragement to the youngster who was trying to retrieve a rebound for the put-back. “Come on, Bengie!” How sweet must it have been for the 12-year-old to have one of his sports heroes cheering for him to get it done on the basketball court? Funny thing, though. Little Bengie’s name isn’t Bengie. Earlier, McGrady took one look at Jonathan Garcia and thought: “Bengie Molina, catcher for the San Francisco Giants.” A nickname to remember Didn’t bother Garcia, who said he will gladly answer to Bengie if McGrady is the one doing the calling. How many of his friends can say an NBA superstar dropped a nickname on them? “It’s awesome,” Garcia said. “I didn’t come here thinking I would even get to say anything to him, and he’s here saying things to me. Calling me Bengie. Wow.” McGrady can still wow ‘em. Wow was the key word for many of the 200 youth at the 2008 TMAC Approach basketball camp at Pin Oak Middle School on Monday. The lucky ones might even earn a nickname from the Rockets star. McGrady, who has been doing these camps for a time in his Florida hometown before bringing it to Houston last summer, said he was shocked when he heard some athletes lend their name to camps, but not their time and energy. “I’m going to be here,” McGrady said. And there he was. With 5-year-old and 7-month-old daughters, and a 2-year-old son living with him in Houston, McGrady seems comfortable around little ones. -- 】 ▲ ▲ 【 “ ～ █████ █◣ ◢█ ◢██◣ ◢██◣ ║ ██ ║◢ ◣◢ ◣ ◤ █ ◥ █◥◣◢◤█ █ █ █ ▄ ║ █ ║ ◥██◤ █ █ ◥◤ █ █ █ █ ║ ▊ ║ ◢◥◤◣？ █ █▄ █ █ █ ██▅█ █ ║ █ ║ ◥▄◤ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ ▆ ║ ██ ║ ◤ ι ██ █ ◥◤ █ █ █ ◥██◤ψaassd -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.166.251.99
