30 For 30: This Magic Moment April 14th @9 pm

[SOUL]

Just watched it on Netflix.

A good watch. I mostly came out of it just wishing Penny's knee didn't disintegrate.

I still hate a lot of our fanbase and media that surround the team, hopefully we don't continue to drive out good players with a lack of support.

Brian Schmitz is a poor excuse for a journalist. I often wonder if he'd be happier if the Magic just left for another city. And then I realise I don't think happiness is an achievable emotion for him.

Imagine if our local media actually revealed some Magic news that wasn't common knowledge or reported on hours earlier by a national journalist. Now wouldn't that be something.

I liked it. But I felt it was a little skewed to make Shaq look like the good guy. He had a plan to get to the Lakers eventually and it was well before the low ball offer or the poll by the newspaper.

I'm still pissed off at the Orlando Sentinel. Surely, having one of the biggest superstars in the world - not to mention, one of the best basketball teams in the country - HAD to be selling newspapers. Why the **** would you mess with that?

They didn't have to kiss up to Shaq, but they certainly didn't have to print silly stuff that would embarrass him, either (especially during contract negotiations!)

I wasn't aware of or simply didn't recall the bit about Jim Gray. That guy is just pathetic.

Probably would've gotten laid off in this day and age.

That was a good watch

Even as a laker fan, I feel bad for the magic

I don't...Got back to back 1st picks, made it to the finals in year 6, and have generally been pretty successful. I don't feel sorry for Orlando.

Once they interviewed the snake like Armato everyone knew he was a lying sack of crap. He exuded a consistent level of douchbaggery that could only come from an LA plastic. The Magic were a springboard and a lot of people knew it. In the end though, you pay Shaq... I've been following this team for 27 years I enjoyed remembering how good they were. The bad times were tough to watch but its a part of our history.

Franchises hope for a player 1/10th of the talent and uniqueness and franchise quality of shaq.
To have him, and lose him... Unimaginable
