We think it\u2019s needed, and we have a passion for it,\u201d McGrady said. \u201cWe\u2019re around kids every single day because we have youth programs. It just makes sense. We see the lack of information that these kids are getting, so we would be doing a disservice to our people if we don\u2019t lend our expertise of what we know and help guide them. This is a calling that we have.\u201d<\/p>\n

McGrady said he would serve as a co-owner and adviser to players and most likely step away from the broadcasting role he has had the past four and a half seasons with ESPN. O\u2019Neal intends to take the National Basketball Players Association test in January to become a registered N.B.A. agent and hold partner status alongside McGrady.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
