Some of my fondest memories as a kid were driving down there in the 90's and watching Penny pull up in one of his 3 identical Lamborghini Diablo's that happened to be different colors and hearing Shaq coming from over a mile away with his sound system in the VOD, then proceeding inside to watch one of the most exciting duos in NBA history.

Then watching Shaq leave and then not even being able to keep a guy like Howard, I am not sure what isn't appealing about playing or living in Orlando, but it's gotta be something.

Nice !!!  I never got a chance to see the Magic in the 90s.  That said, I thought it was going to be the hot spot along with Boston and LA for the NBA until LeBron brought the glitz and glamour of Miami into focus.  That made me realize that if I made $20m/year I'd rather be hanging off the shores of the Biscayne Bay and living the South Beach nightlife rather than being relegated inland living the Disney lifestyle.  That said, I'm kind of shocked Miami isn't in play for Kawhi or some of the other top Free Agents to be.
