There was also an instance when Nick Van Exel bumped a ref and got suspended for it. Magic openly criticized him. A few games later, Magic does the same thing. :mjlol:

Why are you acting like they were very similar incidents?

Magic actually bumped the ref. Van Exel decked the ref.

That ball fake on sprewell was crazy

I'll always remember my brother and his friends going absolutely apesh*t at that play when we were all watching the game together. This was really an unforgettable sports moment having Magic return. I can't really think of any athlete's return that topped it. Not Jordan, not Iron Mike (probably the closest). Unless I'm forgetting someone. Maybe Ali, but I wasn't around for that.

Above the fray.
I remember the comeback , and the old timers who followed his early career saying that "point forward" was close to how he was used in the beginning, so it wasnt a new thing for him.



They also said that the team wouldnt go anywhere because the Laker culture had changed (winning rings was not the top priority)
