Great Moments in Orlando Magic History

The Orlando Magic joined the NBA for the 1989-90 season. The franchise had only a brief period of adjustment before establishing itself as a contender. With the drafting of center Shaquille O'Neal in 1992, the Orlando Magic became instantly competitive and one of the league's most popular teams. Nearly four years before the team sank its first basket, local developer and banker Jim Hewitt began promoting the idea of an NBA franchise in Orlando. He lured then Philadelphia 76ers General Manager Pat Williams to Florida. Williams went to work selling Orlando Magic T-shirts, caps, and other merchandise and persuaded locals to make $100 deposits on season-ticket reservations. All of this was done to impress the NBA with a show of support from central Florida hoops fans. On July 2, 1986, Hewitt's group was one of five that each put up $100,000 to be considered for a potential NBA expansion team. The payoff came nearly a year later, on April 22, 1987, when the NBA Board of Governors voted to add four new franchises: Charlotte and Miami for the 1988-89 season, and Orlando Magic and Minnesota for 1989-90. The price of admission was $32.5 million per team.

2000 - During the summer of 2000, Orlando Magic was buzzing about the upcoming season. The Orlando Magic signed two of the most coveted free agents available in Grant Hill and Tracy McGrady. In addition, strategic roster/salary cap management allowed the Orlando Magic to return the nucleus of its �heart and hustle� crew from the previous season. The team took a hard hit when though when Hill played in only four regular season games and had to undergo season-ending surgery in January. Despite the loss of their six-time All-Star, having eight new faces and the eighth-youngest team in the NBA, Doc Rivers guided the Orlando Magic to a 43-39 record and a berth into the NBA Playoffs. It marked the sixth time in eight years that Orlando Magic reached the postseason, and the ninth consecutive season that they finished with a .500 mark or better. The Orlando Magic enjoyed a season-high nine-game winning streak from Jan. 30 through Feb. 18. It tied the longest winning streak in franchise history. Orlando also came to play when it counted, posting a 24-17 (.585) record during the second half of the season.

The Orlando Magic�s ride came to an end with a 3-1 first round playoff loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. The loss of Hill allowed for the emergence of McGrady. The fourth-year guard exploded for 26.8 ppg., 7.5 rpg., 4.6 apg., 1.53 blkpg. and 1.51 stlpg. in 40.1 minpg. He led the team in scoring and minutes played, while standing second in rebounding, blocks, assists and steals. McGrady was named an NBA All-Star for the first time and earned the 2000-01 NBA Most Improved Player Award. He also was named to the All-NBA Second Team, and set the highest scoring average in league history for a player that ended a season 21-years-old or younger. Orlando Magic also received tremendous output from its lottery selection, Mike Miller. The rookie guard-forward steadily improved during the season and averaged 14.0 ppg., 4.4 rpg. and 1.9 apg. in 33.4 minpg. Miller set new franchise records for most three-pointers made (148) and attempted (364) by a rookie (148), and was the only first-year player in the NBA to appear in all 82 games. For his efforts, he was named the 2000-01 NBA Rookie of the Year and was the lone unanimous selection to the NBA All-Rookie First Team. The 2005 season saw the trade of Tracy Mcgrady to the Houston Rockets but the franchise is poised for a great comeback.
