30Assists 342 Report post Posted August 28, 2008 Two things, I think. The first was that I was never really a fan of the NBA until 1988. Not sure why that year was key, but it was. The next year, they added the Magic. I like their colors annnnnd.... The second reason is that I lived in Florida when I was much younger. I had fond memories. Seemed right to root for the team.

But why? Many are simply from Orlando, but not all. So what drew you to this small market team? Why are you a fan of the Orlando Magic? Excellent thread, Rev! Months ago, I wanted to ask this question of a few posters. Especially those who live in other countries (not to leave out those who live in other states).

PNuT1423 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2008 came to this country when i was 7 in 1989, and have been a fan ever since, so i started with the original team, i started taking it seriously as the years past, so i figure by the time i'm 50 i'll be in front of the arena swinging axes at bandwagon fans....

Especially those who live in other countries (not to leave out those who live in other states). Actually I live in Spain, but I'm not a Magic fan for the drafting of our [iRONY]savior[/iRONY] Fran Vazquez. My story: back in 1995, I was a kid living in Italy, and my uncle was going to Florida to see a friend. I was invited to join him and his son, and we take a flight to Orlando. There was a wonderful surprise waiting for me here: my uncle, knowing my great love for basketball, asked his friend to buy some tickets to see a game. At this time, Internet wasn't very popular in my country, and my knowledge of NBA was very very low before the trip. But I can remember that game like if it was yesterday: June 5 1995, game 7 of the ECF against Indiana, 105-81, Dennis Scott making 5 threes, a dominating game by Shaq, a wonderful run in the third quarter... After the game, I went out of the arena with a Penny Hardaway shirt (that is always on the wall of my bedroom) convinced that I would never stop to be a Magic fan. And I'm still here through the good and bad times (and teams), waiting for a ring and for another possibility to watch a game inside the arena. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
killakuma 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2008 The date was November 26, 1994, I was a 9 year old 5th grader at Winter Spring elementary. It was my first game, we beat the Bucks 113-105 and it was a "Mac Attack", which for you who don't know means a free big mac with a ticket stub if the Magic scored 110 points. I think my brother and I became instant fans when we heard the news that we got to stay up late to go the game and also got a free big mac. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
