Why you should love the Magic
Basically its simple if you want a team that is going to be big time winners pick the Magic. Right now they are a little rusty but when they get the kinks worked out they will be a great team. Possibly if Doc Rivers can coach them in the right direction a NBA world championship. Yeah! thats right a ring its about time Mcgrady deserves a team that can get him one cause he is the best and should get the best!

Mc Grady best player in the league by far!
There is no doubt that Tracy Mcgrady is the best player in the league. Sure there are those who say Kobe and Allen Iverson. But Kobe has Shaq and well Iverson when he hears sirens he cant play cause he wont be in the arena! 6'6 with a J and an inside game not to mention leading scorer in the NBA by more than two points no more needs to be said Tracy Mcgrady is King of the NBA!
