We have one of these???

Good.

Also, he wasn't already in? I'm a little surprised.

I think they do like 1 guy per year? Penny, Shaq, Guokas (I think), John Gabriel. Maybe it's just 1 player a year but seems like it's always around the same month/time.

Does Jameer and HoGrant get in at some point?

Yep, it's probably something like that. I remember Skiles and T-Mac getting inducted, too.

Long overdue.

He deserves it, can't wait to cheer him on Friday when he receives the Magic Hall of Fame Honor.

He deserves it. It was a pleasure to watch him play. Pure Heart and Hustle.

One of our greats.

I met him at a bowling alley when I was like 12-13 once. I made a strike and he cheered for me, nice dude lol.

My favorite Magic memory is playing knockout with him at the Magic Summer Camp when I was in 7th or 8th grade (I think). He actually got knocked out by one of the youngest kids there. He was one of my favorite players before that, and then he was just a legend, lol.

Bo Outlaw was there too, but I don't think he played that game.

That's weird, our website shows 6:
https://www.nba.com/magic/halloffame

- Nick
- Shaq
- Pat (not the Garrity one lol)
- Penny
- DeVos
- Jimmy Hewitt (I dont even know who is this person)

But maybe they are missing Skiles and Tmac like someone mentioned here.

As for Darrell, congrats! He deserves it! Next one? Jameer?

From D-2 field goal kicker to Hall of Famer. What a journey !

Hewitt was a local business man and co founder and owner of the Magic. If I remember right Pat Williams meet Hewitt and asked him if Miami or Tampa would be a good place for an NBA franchise expansion and Hewitt insisted Orlando being from there. Without his help the Magic would not be in Orlando.

I think Darrell Armstrong was my first favorite basketball player. I loved everything about the guy. His play, his heart, his personality. I actually adopted the Armstrong pregame cup of coffee later in life. When I started playing in elementary and middle school, I remember choosing #10 because of Armstrong. Growing up, I knew the legacy of Shaq and Penny, but for some reason, it was the Heart and Hustle team that really made me fall in love with the Magic, and Armstrong was the epitome of that.

Ready for T-Mac to get in.

Dwight... NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd recommend this book to you guys if you're a nerd like me and want to know about how the Magic got started. A great read.
