The Orlando Magic Top-25 all-time player Twitter fan polling list finally concluded as we look at all of the mistakes made. More storytime sharing occurred.

The Orlando Magic unveiled their new 'Stars' uniform, and obviously many people hated hard on those jerseys. We continue to be hurt at how bad the Orlando Magic's Twitter poll fan voting is going when deciding who the Top 25 players in franchise history are. Mario Hezonja and Croatia continue through their Group B pool play at the Olympics. Pops reveals how the International Olympic Committee is very unhappy with him. This podcast concludes with a look at the 2016-2017 regular season schedule and what matchups and road trips appear intriguing.

Mario Hezonja and Croatia begin their Olympic medal quest. The 21-year-old was able to walk at the opening ceremony and seems to be enjoying himself. France looks to already be regretting leaving Evan Fournier at home. Damjan Rudez will be joining the Magic, which means Frank Vogel could be looking at 3 former Pacers on his new squad. Penny tells a unique Pat Garrity story. The preseason schedule is out, and what that means for Orlando. Elfrid Payton was voted 'best teammate' according to the NBAPA's polling. Finally, the Magic official Twitter account is polling fans on who the Top 25 players in franchise history are, and the results have not gone well so far.

On this episode, former Magic Killer Chauncey Billups almost joined Frank Vogel's coaching staff. Stuff the green dragon was crowned NBA Mascot of the Year. ESPN seems to believe Orlando will not improve in the upcoming '16-17 campaign, tagging them with a similar 35-47 win-loss record as they had last season. Does Orlando have the best frontcourt in the Eastern Conference? Nikola Vucevic, Bismack Biyombo, Serge Ibaka, Jeff Green, and Aaron Gordon certainly seem to make the Magic a top-5 threat. France's senior national basketball team will probably regret not taking Evan Fournier to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Finally, how will Mario Hezonja do in his first Olympics? Can Croatia actually win a medal in a tournament where Team USA is obviously the clear gold favorites? Warning: Adult Language www.MagicBasketballOnline.com Song: Moon Veil - Ivory

Even though free agency isn't completely over, we examine whether the Orlando Magic can win the Southeast division. We examine the competition: Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Hornets, Miami Heat, and Washington Wizards. Orlando is once again rumored to be a possible 2017 NBA All-Star Weekend host city, and why that's not a good idea. The impact of Jodie Meeks' foot surgery gets discussed, as well as the benefits of Aaron Gordon's U.S. Select Team experience.

With Pops back from vacation, the past few weeks of Orlando Magic trades and 2016 free agency signings get broken down and discussed. Starters and depth charts get discussed, and why the national media continues to perplex us with its pessimism for what Rob Hennigan and his front office have accomplished this summer. We give Summer League a last mention. Finally, will this Orlando franchise make the playoffs? Warning: Adult Language www.MagicBasketballOnline.com Song: Decktonic - Stars

The 2016 NBA Draft concluded and the Orlando Magic were very active. They traded Victor Oladipo, Ersan Ilyasova, and 11th pick Domantas Sabonis to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for Serge Ibaka. Why are Magic fans so outraged by the trade? We discuss how much better the franchise is after this transaction. The rest of Orlando's Draft gets discussed. Which Magic free agents are staying or going? Which free agents around the league could land in Orlando? Warning: Adult Language www.MagicBasketballOnline.com Song: Dub Terminator - Dub Steps

Continuing our discussion on what the Orlando Magic should do in the upcoming 2016 NBA Draft, we examine some second-round prospects that could be on the team's radar as the franchise owns the 41st and 47th picks. Warning: Adult Language www.MagicBasketballOnline.com Song: Moon Veil - Ivory

With the NBA Finals over, we can officially shift into NBA Draft and free agency mode. We discuss who the Orlando Magic should select with the #11 pick in the upcoming June 23rd 2016 Draft. Should Rob Hennigan and the Orlando Magic front office keep the pick? Should they actually try and obtain another first-rounder? Warning: Adult Language www.MagicBasketballOnline.com Song: Moon Veil - Ivory

OrlandoMagic.com came out with a Top 70 All-Time Orlando Magic Players list. So we just naturally had to poke and nitpick at the choices. Who got snubbed? Who shouldn't even be on that list? Is #1 even correct? Plenty of questions to ponder and discuss as we broke down the list of seventy. Warning: Adult Language www.MagicBasketballOnline.com Song: Moon Veil - Scorpio

We examine how the current 2-2-1-1-1 format of the NBA Finals could have benefited both the 1995 and 2009 Orlando Magic Finals teams. Unfortunately, both dealt with the 2-3-2 format back then. We also defend Courtney Lee and the unnecessary blame he continues to receive for Game 2 of the Lakers series in '09. Finally, in honor of the Scripps National Spelling Bee, we each had to spell 3 full names of Magic players in the past. Warning: Adult Language www.MagicBasketballOnline.com Song: To Eris - To Eris

It's been a few days since the official introduction, which means Frank Vogel already has a longer Orlando Magic tenure than Billy Donovan. Magic fans can relax and rejoice as we reflect a bit on Vogel's official introduction. We discuss possible Magic free agency targets, and what to do with Evan Fournier. Finally, we end the show with CEO Alex Martins bringing up Orlando's bid for another NBA All-Star Weekend. Warning: Adult Language www.MagicBasketballOnline.com Song: Decktonic - Stars

With Orlando Magic fans still rejoicing, we discuss what Frank Vogel being named as Head Coach means for the franchise. Does Adrian Griffin still stick around? We reflect on what transpired at the Draft Lottery, and whether the Magic should deal away their #11 pick or not. Dwight Howard somehow continues to find his way into Magic news as his marketing campaign continues. Plus much more, including the consequences of not being an Amazon Prime member. We appreciate your patience and your tolerance of the laptop background noise. We promise on the life of this podcast that you won’t hear it again in the next episode.

In our triumphant return to podcasting, we take a look at the Scott Skiles resignation from his post as Orlando Magic Head Coach. We discuss coaches that Orlando should consider interviewing, and others that they should completely avoid. Plus, a quick look into whether or not the Magic will obtain Draft Lottery luck once again. Warning: Adult Language We apologize for the background noise. As stated in the podcast, we should have an actual microphone for the next episode. We didn't want to wait to do this podcast though, so we appreciate you tolerating the noise of my annoyingly loud laptop. www.MagicBasketballOnline.com Song: Broke For Free - Calm The Fuck Down
