Which #1 Jersey Should the Orlando Magic Retire? McGrady or Penny?

[GreatestLaker]

I don’t understand the fascination with T-Mac. He accomplished little to nothing and was injury prone. When you think about the Magic you think about Penny.

Tracy averaged 28.1/7/5.2/1.5/1 and was universally considered top 5 in the league. The Magic not getting out of the first round isn't on him. It's on management for surrounding him with trash.

Both

Penny. No explanation needed

Shaq became the 1st player in Magic history to have his jersey retired after playing his first 4 seasons with the franchise.
Both Penny and Tracy McGrady wore #1. Only one of them can have that number retired. Who should it be?

TMAC, but we need to retire both IMO

Yeah folks who claim tmac was a loser or something didn’t watch those games. As a Magic fan I saw ALL of them.

Everyone knows the heavy lifting that man had to do here was astrometrical. Fact we were even remotely in those series was based on pure force of will.

Kobe did what tmac did for one god damn season and threatened to leave the lakers. That pretty much tells you everything you need to know right there

Imagine Tracy holds on and Dwight comes along

A franchise that has made multiple Finals and conference championships should retire the jersey of someone that never helped get a team beyond the opening round of the playoffs

WHO ASKED YOU PAL!?

Imagine Tracy holds on and Dwight comes along

It’s gonna be a longggg time for Dwight with all the fukkery he’s got going on, but there’s no question about him getting his retired imo

Bro he’s saying imagine if Tracy stayed and Dwight still got drafted there

Dwight was already drafted when Tmac was a Magic. Tmac demanded a trade a few days after Dwight was drafted. I remember Dwight asking Tmac through the media to rescind his trade request.

A deal for Tmac to the Rockets was already being made before they drafted Dwight.
