    From the sheer number of notable snubs (McGrady, Armstrong, Dennis Scott, Grant Hill), my conclusion is not so much they hate McGrady but rather they didn't put much emphasis in getting the most important faces on these tickets.

    Amway arena? *chortle*

    (And I really really don't recall Ewing playing for the Magic... must be like Olajuwon for that other team myth.)

    I'm not saying that they are blatant haters or anything. But, they'd have to be willfully ignorant to leave out T-Mac. The second best player in their entire history and greatest scorer in franchise history. C'mon, something is going on. How often does a team's all time franchise scorer (or 2nd) not get invited to a function of this magnitude.

    I'm surprised Nick Anderson, Dennis Scott, and Grant Hill weren't on it. The first two were on the team, during their golden years.

    If they provided a full list of the tickets, and who's on them, it'd be easier to tell. Was Grant Hill on a ticket? If so, that's proof that they were snubbing McGrady. If it's just tickets featuring either current Magic players or featuring 1st era (Skiles-->Finals team) guys...than I don't know about snub. Why celebrate a middle era that featured little to no success?

    If we were to celebrate eras, you have to believe the late 80s and the Francis-era Rockets would be kept to a minimum.

    When I think of Orlando I think Shaq and Penny of course then TMAC! How can you leave out Tmac? Nick "the Brick" Anderson and 3D Scott.. Ahh the good ol sweep days.

    So does this mean that Clutchfans loves Tmac in Orlando more than Orlando fans?
    I guess it does!

    It might, if those fans are under 20 years old or bandwagoneers.

    haha former Rocket Jeff Turner is also on a ticket!

    i am not sure if the left out tmac since he is still playing for a different team and still in his prime. Shaq not so much in his prime anymore.

    but if they have play by play guys on the tickets, a fan, and ewing twice then yeah they certainly should have tmac, armstrong and dennis scott

    A paranoid Tmac fan wrote that article. He's probably not even from Orlando.
