Orlando Magic History
Joining the NBA in the 1989 expansion era, the Magic struggled for three years until picking center Shaquille O'Neal first in the 1992 draft. The Magic finished at .500 in the 1992–93 season, barely missing the playoffs. Then, with only a slim chance in the 1993 draft lottery, the team won the rights to pick No. 1 again. They used their selection, Chris Webber, in a trade to obtain guard Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway and future picks.
O’Neal and Hardaway led the Magic to 50 wins in the 1993–94 season and then 57 victories, as well as a trip to the NBA Finals, the following year. In the 1995–96 campaign, the Magic won a franchise-record 60 games in what would be O'Neal's last season in Orlando. They made it to the Eastern Conference finals against the Chicago Bulls.
Over the next 10 years, the Magic made the playoffs five times under the leadership of coach Doc Rivers and Hall of Fame guard Tracy McGrady, who earned two scoring titles and the 2001 Most Improved Player award during his tenure. The 2006–07 season saw Orlando start a run of six consecutive postseason appearances, as star center Dwight Howard blossomed and the Magic surrounded him with young talent and savvy veterans.
The Magic reached the second round of the playoffs in 2008 behind Howard and forwards Hidayet "Hedo" Türkoğlu and Rashard Lewis. The following season, with trade acquisition Rafer Alston filling in for injured point guard Jameer Nelson and sharpshooter J.J. Redick taking on a more prominent role, the team won 59 games and defeated the Philadelphia 76ers, the Boston Celtics and the LeBron James-led Cleveland Cavaliers in the playoffs. It earned the Magic a second trip to the NBA Finals, where they lost to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Following Howard’s trade to the Lakers in 2012, the Magic began a decade-long rebuilding process while developing notable talents like Victor Oladipo, Aaron Gordon and Nikola Vučević. The Magic’s luck seemed to improve after reaching playoff contention once again in 2019 and 2020, and landing top draft picks such as Mo Bamba, Jalen Suggs, Franz Wagner, and 2023 Rookie of the Year Paolo Banchero.

First time I've been to see the Magic play and even though it was a pre-season game...it's was amazing!!! Great game, great crowds, great entertainment!! We were over from Scotland and even if you aren't a basketball fan this is a MUST to do when you are there....nearly on par with meeting Mickey Mouse himself! lol.
This was my first game of the season and I was so excited to see how the new guys would play together. They all did a great job and it was incredible to watch NBA action in person! I can't wait for the next game and I know that this is going to be a fantastic season for the Magic!
first time in orlando to see the Magic, it's was super great. Thank to all of you and all Orlando for the good time.
Surprised my goddaughter and her younger brother by taking them to see this game. It was indeed a surprise that they wil always remember. Magic really delivered with the Action! Reddick, Gortat, Carter, Lewis and Bass were all outstanding. Loved the game. Look forward to returning to the city to see more!!
Very good to see a NBA game, it was dificult to park but the game and all the show was fantastic.
great time and we won
The Magic have several new players this year and it will be a challenge to duplicate last year's record. I was quite impressed with the new players skills. I think once they get accustomed to playing together, they will surpass last year's record. I look forward to this season.
Simply amazing! The air was filled with electiricity and the enthusiasm of the crowd was undeniable! I will never forget that feeling.
Being at the game at which the Magic clinched the Eastern Conference Title for only the 2nd time was magical. I had never experienced the Orena being so lound or involved. And Tim Tebow was there, too! Priceless. Just an awesome experience for my girlfriend and I.
Outstanding game. Really enjoyed seeing the Magic clinch it . Will always remember this experience.
The game was great, and forget what they say about the Magic Fans - We supported them all the way, and the Magic know we are there for them. Thanks for a great game, my kids and I truly enjoyed every minute of it. Congratulations guys on making it to the finals.
Our Orlando basketball team created more Magic in the playoffs than even Disney could ever do. It was exciting & thrilling in the Amway Arena.
The seating at the Amway Arena is great no matter where you sit. Orlando Magic really puts on a great performance. The show put on by the cheerleaders kept your eyes glued to them. All concerned are in peak physical condition. This was one of the best events my husband and I ever attended.
Great atmosphere, outside and inside, getting on the scoreboard near the end of the game going crazy certainly helped the experience! Go Magic!
Orlando Magic played very well on home game 2. The event was fun to attend to.
