Magic Masters Second Round: 1997 vs. 1993

Found November 21, 2011 on Orlando Magic Daily: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Anfernee Hardaway,  Darrell Armstrong
TEAMS: Orlando Magic

Magic Masters is Orlando Magic Daily's attempt to recognize the best in Magic history. In this edition, we are trying to rank the best teams in Magic history. To see the full tournament bracket, visit the introduction page. Today, we continue the second round: It is always tough to move on from the departure of a superstar. The Magic team that left the court in Orlando after the Bulls swept the Magic out of the playoffs in the Eastern Conference Finals was very different from the one that walked out to open the season. It was not that there was major roster turnover. Nick Anderson, Anfernee Hardaway, Horace Grant and Dennis Scott were still on the team.

Magic "Turning Heads" Everywhere

Via Orlando Magic Daily  |  November 20, 2011
Note: since there is no basketball, and we were supposed to have games, we will imagine there were games. With the help of AccuScore, Strat-o-Matic and Basketball Prospectus, we can imagine an NBA season even if there is not one actually going on. So with that, we begin to imagine the 2011-12 season. There is no end in sight. Things are just kind of going the same as they always...

John Amaechi Has Got to be the Smartest Guy to Ever Play in the NBA

Via Cosby Sweaters  |  November 21, 2011
I remember him as a slightly below average power forward for the Orlando Magic.  But he’s most well known for being the first openly gay NBA player, coming out in 2007 a few years after he retired.  I was not aware that he went to Penn State however, until I saw this interview last week.  I had also never heard him speak before.  It’s pretty amazing, he sounds more...
