Interesting documentary on the Orlando Magic's succession from expansion to the NBA Finals. Shaq was truly a beast and athletic during his early years and the addition of Penny made them a great combo. Bonus material: Houston Rockets 2nd championship. This documentary truly show's the lens from the Orlando Magic perspective. Thank you Nick Anderson! <iframe width="1280" height="720" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UOd_jMDIpw8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
wonder what anfernee could do in today's nba. similar number to westbrook, less turnovers. At the time you were better off amputating your leg than the microfracture.
I just watched this 2 days ago. My favorite part was where Nick "The Brick" missed the free throws. As a matter of fact, I saw this, and only watched it to see the Rockets part, but it ended up being pretty good overall.
Yes! I also watched this documentary for the same reason (to see if they covered the finals w/ the Rockets). It was nice to see Hakeem and Elie being interviewed. They really magnified Nick's 4 missed free throws which I totally forgot. It was a fond memory to recall to say the least. :grin:
Guy played center all through college, wanted to be a swingman in the pros instead, and would complain and argue with Nelson any time he put him in the post. His rookie contract, like O'Neal's, was around $6-7 million per year and made them the highest paid players in the league at that time, Webber's contract also had an out clause after a year, so he complained enough to management that they traded him for Tom Gugliotta.
I always knew Shaq had a big Ego but my God I had no idea he pulled it to this level with Penny who is such a quiet, shy, likeable guy. Now with all the Kobe/Shaq disputes I think I know who the jerk was.
58 minute mark covers the Rockets v Magic series. Wow... Horace Grant: "I told them to have fun because they don't know when you'll get back. That didn't mean have fun until 4 or 5 am."
Did they should the BEST BLOCK IN FINALS HISTORY????? Horace Grant on a Break Away and Horry Blocking it from behind???? I been looking for footage of that block Rocket River
