The Orlando Magic has a extremely successful Johnny Gaudreau Red Jersey 08'-09' season ending their season in the NBA Finals. Few picked the Orlando Magic in the beginning of the season to reach the NBA Finals, but they did. The Magic finished the regular season 59-23 winning the Southeast Division and upsetting the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Magic were 10th in scoring and 4th in scoring defense.

Dwight Howard - who was already a superstar http://www.authenticflamesstore.com/authentic-24-jiri-hudler-jersey.html in his own right - took his level of play to another level. "Superman" averaged 20 points per game and nearly 14 rebounds - which lead the NBA. Howard is definitely the future of the Orlando Magic and should be in a Magic jersey for years to come. Howard is looking to win an NBA Championship for the first time and there is no reason why he can't achieve his dream. Big men in the NBA tend to get injured more often - Howard stayed healthy all season long playing 79 games.

It wasn't just a one man show - the rest of the Magic did well also. Rashard Lewis shot nearly 40% from beyond the arc, Hedo Turkoglu average 16.8 points per game, Jameer Nelson has an Amir Johnson Jersey all-star year and his best season to date until he was injured, and Mickael Pietrus has his own break-out season coming off the bench and making huge shots in the playoffs. The Magic also set the current all-time 3-pointers made in a with 23 against the Sacramento Kings on Jan. 13, 2009.

The Magic did lose Hedo Turkoglu to the Toronto Raptors - who had major contributions to the Magics title http://www.officialraptorsshop.com/ run. The Magic did gain Vince Carter - who may not be "Half Man Half Amazing" but he is still a very effective player. Carter is a career 23 point game player and should replace Hedo and his scoring.
