Orlando Magic Tickets Information

Orlando Magic
The Orlando Magic plays professional basketball. This team is based in Orlando, Florida, and they play in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Orlando Magic is also known by the name ‘Magic’.

The Orlando Magic have played at Amway Arena since they were established in 1989. The Amway was previously known as the Orlando Arena, which was also known by the nickname the "O-Rena". The venue has been known as the TD Waterhouse Centre between 1999–2006. The name was changed again when Amway purchased the naming rights in December 2006. The same ground is also the home ground of the Orlando Predators [the Arena Football League].

The Orlando Magic first entered the NBA in 1989 as an expansion franchise. It was headed by a local businessman, Jimmy Hewitt, along with Pat Williams, who was a former Philadelphia 76ers general manager. The franchise hired Matt Guokas to serve as the team's coach. The starting team set a record of 18–64. They had players such as Reggie Theus, Otis Smith, Scott Skiles, Terry Catledge, Sam Vincent, and Jerry Reynolds.

The Shaq era
The Orlando Magic's history was altered with the 1992 NBA Draft. They selected Shaquille O'Neal for the team from Louisiana State University. He towered over the rest with a height of over 7 ft. His height proved advantageous, and he had an immediate impact on the team. The Magic once again claimed their NBA spot as the most improved franchise. O'Neal also earned All-Star starter status, as well as 1992-1993 NBA Rookie of the Year Award.

End of the Shaq era
During the offseason, O'Neal parted ways, and became a free agent to the Los Angeles Lakers. This was a mammoth blow to the Magic franchise, as they always depended on his performance. The club still managed to compile a 45–37 record, which was achieved under Darrell Armstrong, Hardaway, and newly-acquired free agent Rony Seikaly. At the playoffs, the Magic were quite near to stunning the heavily favored Miami Heat during the first round. This competitiveness extended the series to a crucial game five, despite losing the first two games. During the mid season, largely by means of player discontent, the management of the team sacked coach Brian Hill. He was replaced by Richie Adubato as interim coach for the remainder of the season.

2000-present
Gabriel aimed at attracting Tim Duncan, Grant Hill, and Tracy McGrady who were NBA's most prized free agents. Though Duncan opting to stay with the San Antonio Spurs, the Magic managed to pull in Hill, as well as McGrady. Hill could only play 4 matches due to an ankle injury. McGrady on the other hand went on to star during this season [2000 season], and emerged as one of the NBA's top scorers. The Magic managed to achieve a record of 43–39. In the 2006-07, they began with a strong 13–4 record.

The Magic made an official offer to Stan Van Gundy [former Miami Heat coach] on June 5. Donovan was released from his contract on June 6, 2007. It is largely believed that the Magic have signed Stan Van Gundy as their new head coach for 4 years. This contract os worth $16 million.
