Tracy McGrady understands he lives a life of privilege, making $19 million as an NBA superstar. But he always thought he had a rough upbringing until he spent a few days last summer in a Darfur refugee camp. He had been convinced to visit the genocide-torn region of Africa by his Houston Rockets teammate, Dikembe Mutombo.
"I knew it was going to have a huge impact on me," McGrady said. "One night when I was tired from everything that was going on that week, I went to bed about 9 o'clock, but I woke up early because we were leaving the next day. I was just staring at the ceiling, reflecting on everything that I went through, and I actually started crying." -- The Ledger
