I chatted with a source about this issue two years ago. Shaq's jersey will not be retired but there is speculation they will sell him a piece of the team.
The source told me the next player in line for a jersey retirement is Dwight Howard and that jersey retirements are meant for only great players
They also mentioned if they were to retire a jersey like Nick Anderson's, where does it leave the bar in regards to other players like Scott Skiles, Darrell Armstrong, Dennis Scott, etc.
To me, I understand it but my greatest Magic memories are from #25 Nick Anderson and feel maybe down the road when the franchise has been in the league longer, the Magic will consider it.
If anyone ever gets their jersey retired, I really want it to be Nick.

NOOO!! shaq shouldn't even be allowed back in town! period, he only led the magic to the finals bc thats who drafted him then as soon as he could he jumped ship. I've been to a couple magic games can i get my jersey retired??? LOL but i think Darrell Armstrong should come back and retire as a magic and have his jersey retired as well. He was here when it was rough and he loved every minute of it. Darrell Armstong is the best(no homo...ok maybe alittle man crush LOL) Kebo is nice and all but hes not true #10!!!!

Our fault that we let him go though.....
We should have given him more money.
I doubt Shaq get it
now the real question
will Tracy McGrady's Jersey be there?
