Orlando Magic Meida Day: Anthony Johnson Coverage
Here’s a little of what I heard from Point Guard Anthony Johnson Monday.
On expectations for the season
We fell a little bit short, three games short of winning a championship last season. So with that being said, the task for all over us here with the Magic organization is winning a championship. So we have high [...]

As you probably know, Johnson—who...
