Aaron Gordon Jumps Out Of His Shoe For Beautiful Dunk

Abandon Hope, All Ye Who Root For The Following NBA Teams
Many NBA teams are good, or are crummy but feature some fun young Turks who can provide some reason for optimism, or are not good and do not have fun young Turks but are taking it to the limit one more time with ol’ Dirk Nowitzki, and therefore are good to root for.

Aaron Gordon Got In Some Mid-Game Dunk Contest Practice
Aaron Gordon got robbed at the Slam Dunk Contest last season, and this evening, he got in some early prep for his 2017 run at the title. In the first quarter of the Magic’s game against the Sixers, he robbed Richaun Holmes blind then pulled off a two-handed 360 on the breakaway....
Remember When Tim Duncan Almost Signed With The Magic?
Among NBA players who spent their entire careers with one team, only Kobe Bryant had a longer tenure with his than Tim Duncan. Duncan played 1,643 games for San Antonio, and no player and franchise are as synonymous as Duncan and the Spurs are. It’s easy to forget, then, just how close he came to le...

Nearly Perfect: The Meteoric Rise And Fall Of The Orlando Magic
The Chicago Bulls’ path to the NBA’s then best-ever record and the first of three consecutive titles wasn’t as inevitable then as it seems now, with hindsight, and that’s in large part because of the rise and fall of the Orlando Magic....
Aaron Gordon Is A Nasty In-Game Dunker Too
If the first time you really noticed Aaron Gordon was when he was jumping over a dragon on a hoverboard during the dunk contest, that’s okay! The Orlando Magic aren’t very good, and Gordon hasn’t quite managed to consistently put together his elite potential (though he’s close). The important thing ...
Nikola Vucevic Hits Another Game-Winning Turnaround Buzzer-Beater
The Orlando Magic downed the Atlanta Hawks at home today thanks to this wild turnaround buzzer-beater from Nikola Vucevic. This is eerily similar to a game Vucevic hit back in November against the Lakers. Maybe the Magic should make their whole offense out of Nik Vucevic turnaround jumpers?...

Luke Ridnour Was Probably Traded Again In The Time It Took To Write This
Before yesterday, I wouldn’t have known where Luke Ridnour played last season. My best guess would have been, “Is he still in Minnesota?” The guard was actually with the Magic, until he was traded to the Grizzlies Wednesday, but his journey didn’t end there. Ridnour got shipped around two more times...
