StevenSD 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2009 there's more than one Cali fan... trust meh =D I grew up in Orlando and Sanford for the most part of my childhood, 1992 was when I first understood basketball, and 93 was the first time I followed a team (the Magic) for a whole season... Now I'm 22, transplanted in Cali, and surrounded by Laker fans everywhere, it sucks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crisby pancakes 126 Report post Posted July 14, 2009 For me it was the 93/94 season I think I was 10. It was the first year that uk tv really started showing a large number of games on terrestrial tv (not sky channels)I remember seeing penny and shaq and was like whoahhhhhhh, they pretty much just showed the rockets and olajuwon all the time though and we know what happened the following year sniff sniff.

30Assists 342 Report post Posted July 14, 2009 '89/'90. That was around the time I started getting into pro-ball and, lo, there was a new team starting at the same time. Serendipity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ambrose 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2009 For me it was 93 I did a lot of driving and listened to the radio and on Mondays on 580am there was Scott Anez. So I started out on the radio and then started watching games. I miss the Monday Magic radio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Knappy 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2009 since the beginning - it was great to watch Scott Skiles and that scrappy bunch of over achievers - we were thrilled to win half our games as the team hustled and put it all out there - they didn't have the talent, but they played to the best of their ability Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gobucsmagic 13 Report post Posted July 15, 2009 1989. My family bought four season tickets in the first row of the upper deck and I went to almost every excruciating game that year. We lost a ton, but the O-rena still rocked ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
