Tracy McGrady is bringing back a piece of basketball history.
The seven-time All-Star is reviving the legendary ABCD camp with Sonny Vaccaro, the sneaker executive and founder of the camp.
McGrady, who will own 80% of the camp, and Vaccaro, who will retain the rest, spoke to Front Office Sports about the revival in recent interviews.
“It was only because of Tracy McGrady that I’m doing this,” Vaccaro told FOS. “He had the most impact on what I did because he was probably the biggest underdog. He was so close to not being invited because of other people’s opinions of him.”
Vaccarro ran the camp with his wife, Pam, from 1984 to 2006 and helped coaches and NBA scouts first learn the names of dozens of future stars.
