		<p>Tracy McGrady is one of the greatest players in Rockets history. He loved the city, and after his playing days he retired in the greater Houston area.</p>
<p>Which means he felt the wrath of hurricane Harvey, which has devastated the region. On Labor Day weekend, McGrady did what he could to help out some of those feeling the brunt of the storm, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2017/09/05/nba-legend-tracy-mcgrady-hosts-labor-day-barbecue-for-800-harvey-victims/?utm_term=.2937ba8735ae" rel="noopener">reports the Washington Post</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>The ex-NBA player, who now lives in the Houston suburbs, made things just a little better for people living in Houston’s heavily flooded Third Ward and Sunnyside neighborhoods when he and his wife, CleRenda, decided to host a Labor Day barbecue for them&#8230;</p>
<p>“We wanted to be able to give back,” CleRenda McGrady, who works as a life coach at Project P.U.S.H., told the Houston Chronicle on Monday&#8230;</p>
<p>“There are a lot of Hurricane Harvey relief efforts. What was important to us was to serve an area that already needed an extra boost,” CleRenda McGrady continued. “That’s why we decided to come to this particular area: to show them some extra love. Labor Day is all about barbecue, so we wanted to bring the barbecue to them.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Well done McGrady.</p>
<p>For the record, McGrady and his wife live in an area of high ground on a hill and did not suffer much damage from the storm.</p>

		<p>LOS ANGELES (AP) &#8212; Lakers forward <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nba/1127/channing-frye" target="_blank">Channing Frye</a> has undergone an appendectomy.</p>
<p>The team announced Saturday that its new acquisition had the laparoscopic procedure Friday night in Cleveland.</p>
<p>The Lakers say Frye will be re-evaluated after he returns to Los Angeles next weekend.</p>
<p>Frye was spending the All-Star break in Ohio with his family. He was with the Cavaliers before being traded to the Lakers on Feb. 8 along with <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nba/1889/isaiah-thomas" target="_blank">Isaiah Thomas</a> in exchange for <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nba/2393/jordan-clarkson" target="_blank">Jordan Clarkson</a> and <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nba/2521/larry-nance" target="_blank">Larry Nance</a> Jr.</p>
<p>Frye is averaging 4.8 points and 2.4 rebounds per game this season. He has appeared in one game for the Lakers.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m pretty sure (now) that i got my appendix removed I&#8217;ll be able to dunk at least 3xs a month now!&#8221; Frye tweeted, with the hashtag ItWasWeighingMeDown:</p>

		<p><strong>LOS ANGELES — </strong>The 2018 Dunk Contest went retro.</p>
<p>And it worked.</p>
<p>The throwbacks started with Cleveland&#8217;s <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nba/2521/larry-nance" target="_blank">Larry Nance</a> Jr. going quick-change to pay tribute to his father, the 1984 winner of the Dunk Contest.</p>
<div class="nbcsports-video-wrapper"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wMg9oTe7RgY" width="651" height="366" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="true" class="nbcsports-video"></iframe></div>
<p>Nance later had the best dunk of the night, but it wasn&#8217;t enough in the face of Utah&#8217;s <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nba/2804/donovan-mitchell" target="_blank">Donovan Mitchell</a>&#8216;s strong and consistent night highlight by his throwback dunk — donning a <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nba/531/vince-carter" target="_blank">Vince Carter</a> Toronto dinosaur jersey and doing VC&#8217;s famed 360 dunk — which got Mitchell the 48 points he needed to hold-off Nance and win the contest. It was over.</p>
<div class="nbcsports-video-wrapper"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/czGhbyxxOhA?start=9" width="651" height="366" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="true" class="nbcsports-video"></iframe></div>
<p>&#8220;Growing up I was a big dunker,&#8221; Mitchell said. &#8220;I wasn&#8217;t really much of a basketball player. I just dunked and played defense, and I watched a lot of Vince&#8217;s videos. I&#8217;ve been seeing what he&#8217;s been doing all year at his age, which is incredible.</p>
<p>&#8220;So I figured, you know, at my size if I was able to get it, it would be a great dunk and a way to finish it, you know. And actually, funny story is I haven&#8217;t made that dunk in like half a year. I tried it in practice the past two days and tried it this morning, didn&#8217;t make it. Tried it last night, didn&#8217;t make it&#8230; But to be able to make it was why I was so excited.&#8221;</p>
<p>Earlier in the night, Mitchell had done another tribute worn a Darrell Griffith jersey — Utah&#8217;s Dr. Dunkenstien, who went to Louisville like Mitchell — for an off-the-side-of-the-backboard jumping over Kevin Hart dunk.</p>
<p>&#8220;You know, just knowing your history, I think, is the biggest thing,&#8221; Mitchell said of the throwbacks. &#8220;Just understanding where this game originated, I guess the OGs of the game, I guess you would call it. But just understanding. Even if it&#8217;s just dunking. Whether it&#8217;s dunking in the NBA in general, Darrell Griffith, we went to the same school in college. I know Darrell very well. Both got drafted by the Jazz, and he was an incredible player. To be able to pay homage to him meant a lot to me.&#8221;</p>
<p>For my money, Nance had the dunk of the night, his first in the Finals, a double off-the-backboard throwdown that you had to see on replay to get (it wasn&#8217;t as evident in the building what he had done until it was re-shown on the big screen).</p>
<div class="nbcsports-video-wrapper"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/u8uzrKmQiko" width="651" height="366" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="true" class="nbcsports-video"></iframe></div>
<p>It was a fun contest all night long.</p>
<p>Mitchell (the leader in the Rookie of the Year race) started it off brilliantly — he brought out a second backboard, and did a self-alley-oop off one to the other.</p>
<div class="nbcsports-video-wrapper"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/EbHPe_7RYrY" width="651" height="366" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="true" class="nbcsports-video"></iframe></div>
<p>Larry Nance Jr. did his tribute to his father with his first dunk, and on his second one came from behind the backboard, going around the world, and threw it down hard. That got him into the Finals.</p>
<p>Oladipo missed all three of his dunks in the first round, which almost doomed his night. He, however, did a dunk wearing the Black Panther mask for his second dunk, which impressed.</p>
<p>Mitchell said he wanted to beat <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nba/2772/dennis-smith-jr" target="_blank">Dennis Smith Jr.</a> because the Mavericks&#8217; point guard had beaten him in dunk contests for years. Smith had one monster dunk, when he went between the legs and threw it down hard and got the full 50. It just wasn&#8217;t enough to get Smith to the Finals.</p>
<p>Nance started off the final round by bringing out his father again to throw an alley-oop to a windmill. Mitchell responded with a self-alley-oop to a windmill that was flat-out wicked. That got Mitchell a 50-46 lead after one round of the Finals.</p>
<p>Then Mitchell went to Vince Carter and &#8220;it was over.&#8221;</p>

		<p><strong>LOS ANGELES —</strong> Back in 1984, high-flying <a class="nameLink" href="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nba/2521/larry-nance" target="_blank">Larry Nance</a> Sr. won the first NBA All-Star Dunk Contest with this set of dunks — most famously a rock-the-cradle move.</p>
<div class="nbcsports-video-wrapper"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cM08OJwRDgg" width="651" height="366" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="true" class="nbcsports-video"></iframe></div>
<p>Larry Nance Jr. came into the 2018 Dunk Contest and went nostalgic — all the way back to the Suns&#8217; throwback uniform and the same dunk.</p>
<div class="nbcsports-video-wrapper"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wMg9oTe7RgY" width="651" height="366" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="true" class="nbcsports-video"></iframe></div>
<p>That and a good second dunk got him into the Dunk Contest finals. In that round, Nance Sr. threw an alley-oop to his son for the windmill.</p>
