It was short lived but fun while it lasted.

I was just a kid and didn't know him from his showtime era, but my dad did and he made me watch the game he cameback, I remember I didn't wanted to, but he made me :laughing:

he barely cried when he saw Magic fake that pass on Sprewell, never seen him that excited bout anythin that ain't Peñarol, that moment will never leave my memory, that was one of the moments I decided I'd be a Laker fan for life.
I wish I could've seen Magic playin in the showtime era :eh:

Magic ran a team like no other PG in NBA history I've seen, this guy wasnt just a brilliant passer
it seems like in his spare time he taught his teammates how to pass with flair too.

The ball moved around ALOT during the showtime era, it was BEAUTIFUL.

I miss that kind of basketball, REAL team basketball not that ISO bull[expletive].

I wasn't alive to see Magic play, but in the last couple of years I've gotten my hands on about 8-10 games from the Showtime era. Man, they played basketball completely differently than anything I've seen in the current NBA. The games were just so much more fun to watch. I think I've watched the game where Magic has the GW Hook against the Celtics about 5 times.

Basketball was so much more free-flowing back then.
