It’s wild to think that Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter weren’t just electrifying teammates but also cousins. Now, they have embraced another step in their professional lives. After concurring the NBA courts, they shift their visions to the NFL with the Buffalo Bills. Naturally, the fan favorites received a lot of support from the followers.

“It’s with extreme gratitude that I fully embrace this moment and understand the gravity of this opportunity. If you can dream it, you can live it and I hope my journey will inspire those who believe in and bet on themselves. Let’s Go Bills!,” Tracy McGrady added a caption on his Instagram post.

Plus, the post contained his statement: “I’m excited to share that I’ve joined the Buffalo Bills organization as a minority owner – a dream come true for me and my family. Sports have a lifelong and the chance to contribute to such a top-tier organization is a true honor.”

T-Mac ended with, “I’m incredibly proud to be part of the journey.” Even Vince Carter shared his views on the statement which Bills posted on Instagram. “It’s a huge honor to join the historic Bills organization.”

Plus, he thanked the Pegula family, who own the Bills and the NHL team Buffalo Sabres. Carter is also hopeful for the team’s future and also sees a Lombardi trophy in the future. “See you soon Bills Mafia!!!!” Yes, even the fans can’t wait for their impact and contributions to the team.

Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter receive love for their move

The Buffalo Bills added 10 non-controlling minority owners to the team’s ownership group in a vote approved by the NFL. It’s the first time in the team’s history that they have added minority owners. Apart from Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter, even soccer star Jozy Altidore will be part of the ownership group. He is a former U.S. National Team soccer player and MLS champion with Toronto FC.

“The three pro athletes, they’re all icons in Toronto. That’s our market. So, we’re going to grow our Toronto market, and they know that. I’ve asked them about it. They’re willing to help.” And that’s why the support was international as well. “Congrats TMac Hong Kong loves you ❤️.” Even another NBA great commented on his fellow NBA star’s success.

“The @buffalobills just got BETTER!! Congrats @vincecarter15 & @tmac #FamilyExcellence.” Grant Hill added a story on his Instagram, which Carter re-shared. This season has been another success story for the Bills. They clinched their fifth consecutive AFC East title and their sixth consecutive playoff appearance since 2019.

Naturally, the fans are highly motivated. This move by the 45-year-old only adds to the sentiment, “Look at @tmac, man. So inspirational 💯.”

What happens when your favorite basketball player becomes a part of your native football team? Double the fun. “I grew up in Buffalo and was a huge T-Mac fan as a kid so I couldn’t be happier, welcome to Bills Mafia!!”  And one of the fans couldn’t wait to jab the new owner to ask one of the players to perform better. “Tell your QB to pass it to Kincaid once in a while, my fantasy points need it!”

It won’t be the first time such requests come in. They hope to add a trophy as owners, as they know that the feeling of not winning one in the NBA is not great.
