About Orlando Magic Tickets
The Orlando Magic joined the NBA for the 1989-90 season. The franchise had only a brief period of adjustment before establishing itself as a contender. With the drafting of center Shaquille O'Neal in 1992, the Magic became instantly competitive and one of the league's most popular teams.
Nearly four years before Orlando Magic sank its first basket, local developer and banker Jim Hewitt began promoting the idea of an NBA franchise in Orlando. He lured then Philadelphia 76ers General Manager Pat Williams to Florida. Williams went to work selling Orlando Magic T-shirts, caps, and other merchandise and persuaded locals to make $100 deposits on season-ticket reservations.
All of this was done to impress the NBA with a show of support from central Florida hoops fans. On July 2, 1986, Hewitt's group was one of five that each put up $100,000 to be considered for a potential NBA expansion team. The payoff came nearly a year later, on April 22, 1987, when the NBA Board of Governors voted to add four new franchises: Charlotte and Miami for the 1988-89 season, and Orlando and Minnesota for 1989-90. The price of admission was $32.5 million per team.
The franchise's luck changed on May 17, 1992, when it won the first pick in the NBA Draft Lottery. In the 1992 Draft Orlando selected 7-1, 301-pound Louisiana State center Shaquille O'Neal, the most coveted player to come out of college in several years.

Everything changed for the better when "Shaq" joined the Orlando Magic. Dennis Scott, Terry Catledge, Scott Skiles, and Nick Anderson remained in the starting lineup, but instead of Greg Kite as the team's starting center, the Magic now had O'Neal. Injuries to Scott (28 missed games) and reserve big man Brian Williams (61 missed games) defused some of the team's momentum, but Orlando's 1992-93 record improved 20 games, to 41-41, marking the best turnaround in the NBA that season. Shaquille O'Neal and Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway gave the team a young, talented, and enviable nucleus. O'Neal, in his third year in the NBA, ranked first in the league in scoring (29.3 ppg), third in rebounding (11.4 rpg), second in field goal percentage (.583), and sixth in blocked shots (2.43 per game).
In the NBA Finals, O'Neal for the most part evenly battled the more seasoned Hakeem Olajuwon. (Olajuwon, the NBA Finals MVP, had gotten the best of league MVP David Robinson of the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Finals.)
During the summer of 2000, Orlando was buzzing about the upcoming season. The Magic signed two of the most coveted free agents available in Grant Hill and Tracy McGrady. In addition, strategic roster/salary cap management allowed Orlando to return the nucleus of its ?heart and hustle? crew from the previous season.
The 2001-02 campaign saw the continued emergence of guard Tracy McGrady as a true superstar. He led the Orlando Magic in scoring (25.6 ppg., 4th in NBA), rebounding (7.8 rpg., T-25th) and minutes played (38.3 minpg., T-20th), while finishing second in assists (5.3 apg., T-22nd) and steals (1.57 stlpg., 19th). ?T-Mac? was named to the All-NBA First Team and finished fourth in NBA Most Valuable Player voting. He also played in the 2002 NBA All-Star Game, his second appearance in as many years. McGrady was one of only two players in the NBA to average at least 25.0 ppg., 5.0 rpg. and 5.0 apg
