Loved by players, loved by management, resoundingly respected around the league, endlessly philanthropic, committed to spending whatever it would take to build winning teams, and to Magic fans he was a great steward of this franchise for decades. What a legacy he leaves behind and a positive impact on Central Florida.
I hope the family continues on as owners and follows his lead.

A great human being doesn't oppose civil rights.

They also don't start a Pyramid Scheme organization that makes money off the backs of those who don't know any better are easily preyed upon financially.
His "company" has ruined countless lives, put people into bankruptcy and destroyed peoples' relationships with their friends/family who urged them not to get conned into joining a cult organization that doubles as a Pyramid Scheme. The world would be a better place without people like this, make no mistake about it.
