Home of the Magic

The Magic have only ever had two homes. Ironically, they both share a name. The original home of the Magic was the Amway Arena, also known as the “O-Rena” during its first 10 seasons. In 2010, the Magic moved into the Amway Center. It is home to the largest Jumbotron in the NBA. The Amway Center seats 18,846 for Magic home games.

History of the Magic

As mentioned, the Magic have reached the postseason in half of their 30 seasons in the NBA. They currently play in the Southeast Division of the Eastern Conference and have claimed a total of six division titles (1995, 1996, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2019). The Magic won Eastern Conference titles in 1995 and 2009, but were swept by the Houston Rockets in ’95 and lost 4-1 to the Lakers in ’09.

Dwight Howard was the first pick in the 2004 NBA draft and played his first nine seasons in Orlando. He earned six All-Star nods with the Magic and was the NBA’s Defensive Player of the Year three straight times from 2009 to 2011. Howard led the Magic to the NBA Finals in 2009. He is the franchise leader in points (11,435), rebounds (8,072), and blocked shots (1,344). Howard has led the NBA in rebounds five times and blocked shots twice. Nick Anderson was a first-round NBA draft pick in 1989 and played his first 11 seasons with Orlando. He is the franchise’s second all-time leading scorer with 22,440 points. A 6-foot-6-inch shooting guard, Anderson surprisingly is also fourth on the franchise’s all-time rebounding list. Anderson never made an All-Star team but did finish his career having averaged 14.4 points per game. Tracy McGrady played just five seasons in Orlando, but they were five of his best. McGrady was an NBA All-Star in all but one of his seasons with the Magic. He made the All-NBA first team twice (2002, 2003) and the second team twice (2001, 2004). McGrady would lead the league in scoring twice in 2003 and 2004 and he was named the league’s Most Improved Player in 2001. McGrady is third on the Magic’s all-time scoring list with 8,298 points. He finished his NBA career with 18,381 for an average of 19.6 points per game.
