Jimmy Hewitt

I am surprised that I did not see a thread about this.

The Magic inducted Co-Founder Jimmy Hewitt into their Hall of Fame today.

I would highly recommend reading Pat Williams' book Making Magic: How Orlando Won an NBA Team.

You will see how valuable Jimmy Hewitt was and how he was unselfish while caring so much about this town getting an NBA team.

If not for Hewitt, a lot of us might not be posting on The RealGM Forums right now.

Congrats though to Jimmy Hewitt and he definitely deserves the honor he got today.

This guy was before my time so I dont know much about him but if it wasent for him there would be no NBA team in Orlando. Orlanod was tiny back then, the guy had some cojones to make the NBA in Orlando happen.
