I don't even care about that time they eliminated us that Magic team was the truth..

I was a big fan of that squad when they were playing, that being said what was so unique about the team? I mean they are the equivalent to the current OKC squad. Exciting, fast paced, strong contenders, star power in a mid sized city.....but never won shyt.

30 for 30's are not about teams that won.. if that was the case, they should just do a doc on all championship teams, its about teams,players or stories that shifted the sport or culture, and the 1990s Magic did that.

Jordan getting the ball stolen and the magic destroying the bulls game 6 in 95 ruined my childhood.

I still remember being in the basement with the tv off after the game screaming "IT WAS A FOUL" knowing dam well jordan just lost the ball I skipped school the next day because I didn't feel like even talking about it lol.

I justified it by saying Jordan's been gone a year and a half, That's my story and I'm sticking to it..

Naw, they wasn't getting past jordan once the bulls got rodman who could single cover shaq and they eliminated them making 3s.

Anybody want to know why I know that 96 bulls team would beat any team now? That 96 sweep of Orlando is my answer. Wasn't the offense, that series was a defensive masterpiece. I just watched the entire series a few months ago. I swear I don't think that bulls team even missed a defensive assignment that entire series. It was a dismantling.

Then by time jordan retires, penny starts getting hurt. Shaq made the right move.

That sweep of the magic was the 2nd greatest moment I had as a bulls fan

The 1st was that sweep of the pistons. I remember me and my brothers literally crying as little kids as the bulls lost that last time to the Pistons. We just kept asking my mother "why can't we beat them?!"

My mother always blamed the refs

30 for 30's are not about teams that won.. if that was the case, they should just do a doc on all championship teams, its about teams,players or stories that shifted the sport or culture, and the 1990s Magic did that.

But that's my point. They didn't change any culture like the Fab Five, 80's Pistons, 90's Bulls, 2000 Lakers, they won a bunch of games, they were exciting, they lasted, what , 4 or 5 years. Shaq went on to bigger success, afterward. They left no real impact on the game. Penny's knees didn't last and he was traded, THE END!

They didn't change how the game was played, West coast teams were the ones' who started catering defenses to Shaq when he was a Laker (Hack a shaq wasn't Orlando). They didn't start any new trends in basketball, nothing innovative the team added to the league. They didn't have any major social impact like say the 90's Raiders, 85 Bears. They were just a good, exciting team that never won shyt.

going by your logic, what did Fab 5 accomplish? wearing baggy shorts?

the early 1990s Magic were arguably the most popular team in sports at the time, and the 1996 free agency of Shaq changed the entire landscape of the NBA for a decade +...
