He is the triggerman on the Celtics' fast breaks, sweeping the defensive board and passing off to Bob Cousy to start the green shirts' speedy machine in motion. When he reaches high to catch a pass in one hand and whip it like a baseball to a teammate, he looks graceful and sure. Around the backboard he is in complete control of himself.

Here he takes to the air to score against Philadelphia.

The Magic began play in the NBA in 1989-90, but many people will point to the 1992 NBA Draft as the team's jumping-off point. The addition of superstar center Shaquille O'Neal with the first overall pick brought the franchise instant respectability and delivered the club to a new level of competitiveness. DID YOU KNOW? On the strength of its best start ever (8-3), the Magic ended the season's opening month in first place in the Atlantic Division for the first time ever. With Matt Guokas at the helm since 1989, the Magic are the only NBA team that has never made a coaching change. SCORECARD. Guokas earned his 200th career win December 19, 1992, as Orlando beat the Hawks 125-84 for the largest margin of victory in franchise history.
