God Hates Otis Smith 153 Report post Posted October 3, 2013 The posters that i've seen with former stars, and current players are a nice touch. I'd like to see it taken a step further, i'd like to see guys like TMAC/Penny/Armstrong become part of the organization again to keep that familiarity of the past, as we transition into a new era with alot of young players. I feel like it'd be good for the brand if these guys were around town doing autograph signings for the team, or being at the games from time to time like as ambassadors. I dunno, just an idea, just think it'd be cool to see some familiar faces around the team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emory889 353 Report post Posted October 4, 2013 The only one really available from that list is Penny. Armstrong is coaching and McGrady still wants to play in Europe or China....I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TrustInHenny 14 Report post Posted October 4, 2013 What you describe is what Nick Anderson and Bo Outlaw do. Im sure the team doesnt want to pay more than just the 2 ambassadors. Plus, who says these guys even want to be around Orlando? Im sure they have bigger, better plans with coaching or playing or family. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bhnole 153 Report post Posted October 4, 2013 Penny went back to his hometown Memphis where he is a legend and does a lot of community work. That is home to him not Orlando. Nick and Bo do an outstanding job repping the team in the community. Don't really see a need for more until one of them decides to move on to something else.

Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted October 8, 2013 Fwiw, meeting Bo or nick Anderson these days just isn't thrilling. It's not their fault, they're just so involved that I've met them probably 50 different times since 1999. It'd be nice to have some variety. Again, they're great guys who are engaging. Just a small nitpick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
30Assists 342 Report post Posted October 8, 2013 It would be cool if we could involve Shaq somehow. Just someone that was actually a HOFer. Granted, Shaq didn't exactly leave us with a hallway full of championships, but still... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Hi-Top 791 Report post Posted October 8, 2013 The same Shaq that called Orlando a dried up little pond, feuded with Dwight (when Dwight was in Orlando) and just became a minority owner in the Kings (which he famously referred to as the Sacramento Queens back in his Laker days)? No thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
