Stranger than fiction: McGrady = Houston

[NoBonus]

The stars are back in-line.. the Knicks got Allan Houston back... I mean Tracy McGrady... there are some uncanny similarities between the two:

1. Both played with the Knicks
2. Both born in the 70's
3. Both have career average of 17 points per game
4. Both have played 12 seasons in the NBA
5. Both players played under 89% of the games they were under contract to play (Houston 88%, TMAC 82%)
6. Both have infamous noteriety: Allan Houston had the "Allan Houston Rule" and TMAC never managed to win a single playoff game.
7. They both average about 40 minutes per playoff game.
8. Allan Houston's last name is Houston and TMAC played in Houston.
9. TMAC was the 9th pick in his draft, Houston the 11th... and they both play/played in New York City, site of one of the terrorist attacks on 9-11.
10. Both average about 2 turnovers per game.
11. Both were NBA All-Stars
12. Both made about $20 Million on the Knicks dime in the final year of their contracts.
13. Both were 4 for 4 in free throws at an All-Star game, once.
14. Allan Houston's middle name is "Wade". TMAC's middle name is Lamar. Both are uncommon names that can refer to other players in the league.
15. Both had career FG % of about 44%

Are you freaked out yet???
Look at the numbers... they are like the same guy... good work, New York, it is the late 90's again.
