Dwight Howard, leader of the Orlando Magic who reached the NBA Finals in 2009.

The ideal historical quintet of the Orlando Magic

  • Point Guard: Penny Hardaway - A talented and versatile playmaker who, alongside Shaquille O'Neal, led the Magic to the NBA Finals in 1995. His combination of size, scoring ability, and court vision made him one of the most complete point guards of his era.

  • Shooting Guard: Tracy McGrady - He won two scoring titles while in Orlando and was one of the league's most dominant players in his prime. With his ability to create his own shot and score from anywhere on the court, T-Mac was an unstoppable force on offense.

  • Small Forward: Grant Hill - Although injuries prevented him from performing at his peak, Hill is undoubtedly the best small forward to have played for the Magic. His talent was incomparable, and at his best, he showed a unique ability to score, defend, and lead on the court, setting him apart from all other small forwards in franchise history.

  • Power Forward: Dwight Howard - He was the defensive leader and the dominant force in the paint for the Magic for almost a decade. A three-time winner of the Defensive Player of the Year award, he led the team to the NBA Finals in 2009 and excelled both defensively and on the boards.

  • Center: Shaquille O'Neal - A dominant center who revolutionized the league from day one. He was the offensive and defensive anchor for the Magic in their early years, leading the team to the NBA Finals in 1995. His power and athleticism changed the game in Orlando.
