I'll be at work so I can't watch the media day. Is it streamed? Wasn't it rather limited in content last year?

Yup. Some stuff is streamed, they'll have a camera with a couple of people and they'll rotate players in while interviewing them.

It's not remotely interesting but every year I get excited to watch for some reason.

I try to follow media day as much as I can. I like the interviews. Good to see the new guys in our jersey. Better when we get players with bigger names but hey... we're not in that position right now.

Looking forward to this but please Dan and Josh if you're reading this don't ask Vogel if he thinks we can make the playoffs. No more 'who's ready to make the playoffs?!' please thank you.

I love media day. Cannot believe we've not seen the whole team in action for 5 months.

In before player x looks like he's gained a ton of muscle and other overreaches.

In before Payton's hair looks like it's gained a couple of inches and taken 10% off his shooting efficiency.

Somebody needs to ask Payton the big, heavy question... When are you gonna get rid of that silly hair? Screw all the "Playoffs this year?" talk. It's all about the hair!

6th year with us. Wow. Time flies. Was listening to the Locked on podcast and I think he mentioned something along the lines of Vuc will go down as the most forgotten Magic best player of an era.

Hopefully we see more of the old Vooch this year.

All Magic players medically clear to begin training camp barring anyone blowing a hammy tripping over a microphone cord today.
