ESPN 30 For 30: This Magic Moment

[Dillah810]

"I mean, hell, I lost my confidence and he lost some ligaments. Pain is pain, right?" - Nick Anderson

Nick genuinely thinks Penny's and his situations are the same.

 

[RubioTheCruel]

wonderful documentary..now we need a 30 for 30 on the blazers of the late 90s-early 00s next

The beat writer is working on a book IIRC, the absolute fukkery if it's uncensored will be

 

[Archangel]

Thine eyes hath feasted upon this great documentary. And yet, my heart remains empty. The sadness that fills my soul aches my spirit. Oh what pleasures hath we missed due to the destruction of this team? Oh Lord, what joy hath we lost at the departure of Shaquille and the tearing down of Anfernees' health?Surely this Magic team of Orlando, Florida was one destined for greatness, but alas, greatness followed Shaquille into Los Angeles and met upon a different destiny. God bless this team and may He heal their wounds left by Shaq and Dwight.

this was one of the best 30 for 30

This is my second favorite behind Bo Jackson..
My childhood

 

[TheGreatShowtime]

As an Orlando Magic fan, I watched that entire documentary with a expression

Penny got me to love basketball as a kid. He'll always be the GOAT to me

 

[the artist known az]

Good to see Penny & Shaq kicking it like they played their whole career together

Penny is a good dude, many a player would still be on "fukk Shaq"

 

[Spanky 6000]

Shut up Shaq. Give up playing in L.A. to stay in Orlando?

Shaq still lives in Orlando not LA.

 

[Spanky 6000]

Shaq and Penny actually played together in Miami.

 

[reserved_one]

After Penny's first year in Phoenix....I really thought him and J Kidd would be a nice back court going forward.
Then he had more knee problems and had to get more surgeries .

Then Kidd eventually goes to New Jersey and takes them to the finals

Penny just couldn't catch a break



And yeah this was one of the best 30 for 30s

 

[duckbutta]

Best 30 for 30 yet...

Penny straight up throwing Nick under the bus saying them freethrows fukked his head up and if he had just remembered to get a delay of game on the inbounds play he wouldn't have given up that three

Alonzo Mourning contract being the catalyst that made Shaq want to leave

Dennis Scott asking management "How the hell you let Shaq go":dahellwhat:

Horace Grant saying he fell into a depression when Shaq left

Penny saying he hated that Shaq won titles without him

Dennis Scott saying "the John Koncacks of the world" "Ronny was okay...but he wasn't Shaq":yeahok:

HOUSTON FANS WITH THE BROOMS IN THE STANDS...I could have sworn they showed the fans chasing the magic bus with brooms?

The players having a meeting to talk about Brian Hill...shyt on Brian Hill in the meeting...then go to management and tell them to fire Brian Hill...

Cacs not wanting to pay Shaq 100 million...

The fact that the CBA was all fukked up then and Shaq wasn't a restricted free agency...

Orlanda management going to shaq agent while he was playing volleyball with the contract and dude saying "that's nice"

And to me the funniest part...Shaq saying his 4 years in Orlando were the best of his career...that goes to show you just how much he HATES Kobe...even all the titles couldn't change that

I'm going to watch this shyt every time it comes on...

 

[El Bombi]

Shaq just said he would've knocked out D'Angelo Russell.

 

[Manuel Hot Pepper Lopez]

I think he meant he had the most fun in general in his Orlando days. No wifey and kid issues, rap albums and movies, and he was clowning all the time with teammates that he was tighter with than any others. Even today you see him and D-Scott on NBA TV and nikkas be acting like 21 year olds

 

[Danie84]

Knee/Leg/Foot Injuries took both GOATs out before their time

...that's my childhood

 

[Danie84]

At least we went to the playoff's that year

 

[Schmoove]

Nick Anderson must have had some serious gambling debts to pay off.

4 straight FTs missed? shyt can't be real
