I'm going to say Hedo. My nomination is J.J. because I love him, and he has worked really hard to be useful to the team.

[Luke_FfS 251]

You're not late, I swear. Stop using copy/paste to make the thread, :P

 

 

My vote: Horace Grant. Third time in a row. No reason to explain more.

 

My nomination: Bo Outlaw. Just love his attitude and the hustle.

[Skywise316 211]

Alright people, come on. There really was Magic Basketball before 2007, I promise.

 

Vote: Scott Skiles.

 

Nominate: Bo Outlaw. (The best pure role player in Magic history? A lot of this is due to his longevity, 90% of Magic players aren't here for more than 3 years. I believe he was here for seven, total. He was a great rebounder and nyce shot blocker.. also he has one of the few triple-doubles in Magic history.

 

More than anything the first person you think of when you hear "Heart and Hustle" is Darrell Armstrong. The second? Bo Outlaw.)

[Ryan the Magic Fan 253]

Vote: Jameer Nelson

 

Nominate: Mike Miller

[Fultz4thewin 2,464]

Vote:Jameer. career numbers with the magic.

 

nominate Rony Seikaly. He had great numbers for his 121 games here.

Nah, he counts 'em regardless. The last thread has 6 votes for Shard, a couple of which had no explanation (including mine). However, I do agree that having some sort of explanation after each selection is ideal, so I'll do that in the future.

[Manu Ginobili 61]

Vote: Hedo. I have been voting him for i dont know how many rounds, not gonna provide the same reasoning over and over again

 

Nominate: Bo Outlaw. As fellow quality poster Skywise says, vital part of the Magic in those transition years between Shaq/Penny and Tmac. He was freakishly strong, great hustler, dunker, had i think 2 triple doubles in Magic history.

 

Also, Bottom 5 in NBA history as an awful FT shooter. I mean, did WE need that already having Shaq and Nick Anderson and with Dwight to come?.

 

Regardless, a player you would love to have in your team every day of the week.

 

I think Mike Miller was a better player here, but Bo was much more valuable to the team than him in his stay.

He counts them. I'm just too lazy to explain to people who think Scott Skiles should be ahead of Rashard Lewis why they're wrong.
