This is in the headlines of the Orlando Sentinel today!!!! GO MAGIC!!!!!! The men in blue and white brought it home yesterday at the Amway Arena. I am mainly a football fan, but I learned a lot about basketball this season & even went to a Magic game. They worked so hard & we fans are so excited. This is the first time since 1995 that they’ve made it to the title rounds. The Finals begin in L.A. on Thursday night versus the L.A. Lakers. I will be watching!!!!
This is a snippet of an article by Brian Schmitz (Orlando Sentinel):
Two summers ago, Dwight Howard — the No. 1 draft pick in 2004 the Magic received after compiling a league-worst 21-61 record — predicted the Magic would win a title.”Everybody laughed,” Howard said. “I mean everyone.”
And last summer, when Dwight Howard joined Cavs megastar LeBron James and others on the gold-medal winning Olympic team, Howard was greeted with similar reactions when he talked up the Magic.”They all said, ‘Yeah, right, Dwight,” he recalls. Dwight was right.
