McGrady brings some cheer to teammates

TRACY McGrady tried to bring some cheer to his struggling teammates at the Qingdao Doublestars, presenting them with a Beats Audio headsets imported straight from the United States as Christmas presents.

Despite the presence of the two-time NBA scoring champ, Qingdao has gone through the ignominy of losing 12-straight matches in the new season.

"Today is a special day. It is a day of giving and receiving," McGrady said. "In the last two months, I am far from my family and my teammates are like the family. You brought me joy and happiness.

"Thanks for what you have done for me and I hope we will get the first win in Wednesday's match." McGrady said.

Sheng Xishun, McGrady's boss, also gave away wallets, belts and routers to his American players and employees as Christmas presents from the club.

"I wish the American players do their best in the games and have their wallets stuffed with cash when they go home," Sheng said.

It will also be the 10th anniversary of the team today and Sheng hoped the team will beat Jiangsu for its first win.

"I hope we will have a new start tomorrow," Sheng said.
