A sleepy day so thought I would start something Magical. Correct answers should lead to new questions.

Without looking it up, who is the longest tenured Magician?

This is an incorrect answer. Jameer Nelson is a Maverick, not a Magician.

Yes it is Nicholson; but it is an interesting that O'Quinn is second up: WOW!

I cannot recall Orlando earning 10 straight wins. But I would guess it in that range.

It's nine wins. Believe it's happened twice (once during the Howard-era and once during the T-Mac era).

Who is the first Magic player to wear the number double zero (00)?

Anthony Avent.

What is the Magic best home record for a single season?

The Magic went on to win their first 30 home games the following year, giving them a 69-2 home win run.

Remarkable.

T-Mac for sure. But AFAIR there where two more. Ryno?

EDIT - man, I looked it up. Didn't know it was that many! I missed three more guys, we got 5 MIP's!

MagicHolland · Post #15 » by **MagicHolland** » Mon Aug 18, 2014 10:50 am

5? I remember, Ryno, T-mac, Darrell and Hedo? Who's the 5th? Mike Miller?

EDIT: I also had to look it up.. Scott Skiles it is..

The Magic has a real history in player development. With the young bucks, there is a real path for more of these. Harris and Vučević are excellent pre-season candidates for this award. (Oladipo will improve as well, but a rookie to sophomore transition will not win a MIP award).

Monta Ellis and Gilbert Arenas disagree with you.

That's actually interesting as I think both of them being drafted in the second round has made a big impact on that..

I of course meant for Oladipo in particular. All expect him to have reasonable statistical improvements. Now if he improves in the same way that Arenas and Ellis did, by upping his score 10 ppg, then a 24 ppg scoring line could go a long way for Oladipo to get all kinds of accolades, from an invite to the all star week, to votes for MIP.

Who is the tallest player to ever play for the Magic? (I don't know the answer, lol).
