I think 05/06 was Hill - cant remember if he had a co-captain, 06/07 was Hill and Jameer if I remember correctly

All I can remember FOR SURE is that in 03/04 the captain was McGrady by himself.

IIRC, in 02/03 it was TMac by himself (this was Darrell's last year on the team, and he lost the role of co-captain. McGrady did not react well to this, and in 03/04 Hill (who was supposed to be healthy) was made co-captain.

Armstrong was either co-captain, or THE captain during the 02/03 season.

03/04 was the 21-61 campaign; Doc Rivers named McGrady as sole captain before the season began.

Here's a story about Rivers/McGrady:

Rivers, now the Boston Celtics coach, told the Boston Globe that he should have kept Darrell Armstrong around to assume the leadership of the team. Armstrong was not re-signed after the 2002-03 season.
"The biggest mistake I have made as a coach was when we decided in Orlando that Tracy [McGrady} was going to be the leader," Doc said. " That meant we had to remove Darrell. I knew on the first day of training camp that we had made a huge mistake because Tracy wasn't ready and Darrell's presence was missed. It was a horrible decision. You needed his energy, his drive. He makes people practice. He plays with a will, a drive, and he really believes that his will and effort can change a game."

As for the 06/07 season, I may be wrong but I think Hill, Howard, and Nelson were the co-captains.

to the OP:

use Google news, it helps a lot

e.g. http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/su ... 136263_ITM

search : team name captain(s)

Tmac was made captain in 03, according to that article

if you need clarifications for any team, I could probably help with searching

e.g.

On his second day as a Raptor, Jalen Rose became one of the team's three captains -- the others being Vince Carter and Michael Curry, who underwent elbow surgery yesterday in Alabama.

so 2003, raptors had 3 guys
