Post McGrady enjoying life in Houston; Francis agrees

Nice article on ESPN Page3 about Steve and Tracy adapting to life in their new cities.

Quote:
When it comes to hitting the clubs and model hotspot, McGrady says in Orlando, it's Roxy's all day. Francis gave it a shot but was not impressed. "You need to try the Roxy's in Houston, T-Mac. I've been to the one here and ... probably me being so spoiled growing up in Houston and D.C., and really getting a chance to look at models, I guess I came here and it was just regular. Out of a 10, I would give Roxy's [Orlando] a five. If there was a model there, they must've walked by when I had my eyes closed ... I guess I'm going on the wrong days. I know there are a lot of beautiful women everywhere, but I haven't found it here yet."

"It's more of a college atmosphere here, where everybody's walking around kind of college drunk like, 'USF rocks, dude!' (Holds up rock 'n' roll hand sign.)," says Francis about Orlando's nightlife."
I'm just wondering how many "groupies" McGrady brought with him from Orlando to Houston:
Quote:
"I love it. I have a beautiful home, weather is nice and people of Houston are great. I'm having fun here ... We have pick-up games (at his home basketball court) already. My guys — my friends and people who moved up here with me — are over here everyday, betting $5 a shot. But I have to shoot from halfcourt."
And it's nice to see Tracy inviting Yao over to his house, Yao may not get along with Tracy like he did with Stevie and Cat, but they shouldn't be uncomfortable around each other.

"He's 7-6, turning and fading. You want a guy to turn out, unfortunately he was hitting the shot," Brown said. "What could I do? I had a hand up. I was, '(Man), another one.' Now I know what it's like when guys play against Kobe (Bryant)."
