<div class="quote_poster">Quoting DirtySouth:</div><div class="quote_post">the magic will always be my fav team no matter what. But tracy will remain my fav player no matter where he goes and since I really don't have a 2nd fav team his team will be. But hopefully Tracy will remain a magicman, I feel he will come back stronger than ever and prove all the t-mac haters around the league and the 4,000 on this site wrong!!!!</div> Same with me 100%... btw Ice , I also think Gooden will be an All-Star player , I'm not a biased T-Mac fan...He is just my fav player in the NBA ..cuz I've seen him in Orlando a few times and I lived there..grew up there..and love the Magic , so I'm biased with Gooden too? Say what you wanna say. I couldn't say it better than DirtySouth , wait until next season to be good and shut all T-Mac haters and see all embarrased fans that turned against T-Mac and Orlando eat their words...
I will be a Magic fan until A) I die, or They relocate out of FLORIDA. I Think T-Mac is a great talent but he just isn't displaying enough leadership. He wears the C on his jersey yet he doesn't display the heart of a captain. SO TRADE HIM?.. Perhaps, but the good news is leadership is something that CAN be learned. I can't picture the Magic without T-Mac, but im niave' I also couldn't picture the Magic without Darrell Armstrong....or Penny.... or Shaq.... or Joe Wolf(lol jk). As for "Bandwagoner fans" I hate them, the same guys who laugh at my dusty 1992 Magic hat, would be the same guys sporting Magic gear if we were championship contendors. I live less then 2 hours from O-Town and sometimes I feel like the only Magic fan in the area(which is fine with me, we ALL can't wear laker hats)
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting T-Mac Da Playa:</div><div class="quote_post">I still be a Magic fan if go but he well always be my Fav. Player I think the magic need to keep T-Mac and pick up kobe once he a free agent I mean jordan waited for everone then the finnaly drop someone and picked up scottie and won 3 in a row or something like that if he stays soon now or later they well get someone (like kobe)</div> Sorry, the Magic will never be getting a player like Kobe as a free agent. Why would a star like Kobe want to come to Orlando when they already have T-Mac established as their #1 guy? You think any young superstar like him would want to sign to a team with another great SG? NO. By the way Jordan didn't "wait" for Pippen either, he was drafted by the Bulls three years later.
I watched 95% of the games this season even though we were losing so many. I even went to the games when T-mac wasnt' playing..most of my friends didnt go to those games... I don't know if i'll still watch games if we are losing by 20 every night..its just pathetic.. but i watched it anyways this season...i guess 1 bad season every 10 years ..i can take that...

Tampa isn't a big bball town. they don't even talk bball on the sports radio shows down here. It's all about the bucs or lighting right now. Go Lighting!!
I care, but it wouldn't make me stop following the Magic...not at all. I've followed the Magic for 10+ years now, I don't see one player leaving changing that. This is a lot like the Shaq thing, when he left, you got to see who the real fans were and who is just some bandwagon jumper. I remember in the 96-97 season, there were a lot of newfound Laker fans in Orlando. I still watch the games regardless because I grew up watching the games and I hope that one day the Magic will go back to the Finals.
