From 2004 to 2010, Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming formed a dynamic duo for the Houston Rockets, blending McGrady’s scoring brilliance with Yao’s dominant inside presence. Though injuries limited their postseason success, the pair brought global attention to the franchise—especially with Yao’s influence in China—and helped elevate the NBA's international profile. Their talent and chemistry made them one of the league’s most compelling partnerships of the era. This card brings the duo back together for a compelling option in this month’s Fanatics Fest June Premier Auction.
Last month’s curated showcase showed the high esteem in which collectors hold McGrady. Adding his running mate Yao to the equation, along with two game-used Logoman patches and 10-grade autos, should make for plenty of fireworks this month as bidders battle for this piece of Rockets history.
The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 06/10/2025.
