Most entertaining magic player of all time 

Post#1 » by east/beastD-12 » Sun Nov 2, 2008 3:05 pm

For me McGrady was was the most entertaining to watch.
every night up until the end that guy allways put on a good show.
I remember him dribbling up the court pulling up from anywhere to drain a three.
He was so cold he would not even wait to see if it would hit cause he knew it was going in before it left his hands
I guess Shaq was second to me. That guy was such a monster.
And penny was pretty cold blooded as well.
Followed by D-12.
After Dwight its a tie bewteen foyl and DIENER

Tracy Lamar McGrady, Jr. single handedly put fans into the seats.

But early on, Scott Skiles was the yearly player-of-the-year winner from the fan vote. He is worth consideration.

My vote is for T-Mac though.

I think the most entertaining player for me is a tie between T-Mac and Darrell Armstrong. T-Mac was amazing and Darrell just was all over the place and was good at what he did.

Depends on your definition of entertaining.

For me, Dennis Scott was the most entertaining. He was constantly cutting up with teammates, pumping up Shaq, dancing, high fiving fans. He was such a clown on the court, I loved watching him.

The most "electric"... yeah, maybe T-Mac.

Here's my list:

1) T-Mac

Could do anything. Jordan may have been the best we'll ever see, but McGrady made things look easy and cool better than anyone I can think of.

2) Armstrong

His energy oozed out of him and drew you in. His non-stop hustle and exuberant leadership made you take notice.

3) Francis

This guy was freakin' tough when he played for us. He could take his man off the dribble to drain a jumper in your face, or drive to the hole for a sick dunk or fancy pass. His ball handling, mad hops, and in-your-face attitude made me love watching him play.

4) Outlaw

Bo was Bo. He worked for everything he got and really personified our team. His personality lit up the arena and was actually an above-average player for us in the late 90s.

5) Dwight

D12's domination of a game can happen in a multitude of ways that make him fun to watch. Whether it's a nasty jam on someone's head or a block party in the Amway Arena, he has "it" that makes you love watching him play.

Penny and T-mac.

And speaking of T-mac IF he hadn't hurt his back and assuming he kept getting better like he was, do u think he would be better then Kobe right now?
Thats a lot of "ifs" i know and same could be said for Penny

Since I started watching the NBA (which wasn't too long ago) I would have to go with T-Mac hes the reason I am a Magic fan, and the reason you all get to enjoy me on your forum =)

Voting for a single-year's effort. Shaq's rookie year was the most entertaining. Watching him power dunk on every set play was huge for the fans.

Penny for me.

T-Mac was probably the better entertainer but I just prefered Penny, maybe because it wasnt just the highlight finishes but also the highlight team play aswell. So much fun to see him boss the PG position.

1. shaq.
2. did the league not feel obliged to change the strength requirements for boards so that shaq would not cause too many game delays by simply obliterating each, one by one?
only 10 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists shy of yet another triple double - anonymous
