Poll: Which Orlando Magic Player Do You Represent?

Gortat

I like everything about Marcin. He’s funny. He works hard. I’d party with him.

And Stan. He made me completely forget the Billy Donovan fiasco in about 25 games. Now players want to come to Orlando and play for him. Awesome.

Same

But only because one of my coworkers is a die hard Mavericks fan and hates me for stealing Gortat back from him.

Gortat is a cool guy.

I enjoy speaking with him.

D-Howard

I tend to hold on to jerseys for a while. I still rock a throwback blue pinstripe Dwight Howard for the big games.

My sister likes my 2007 white Rashard Lewis jersey (which she took with her to school after we finally converted her to Magic-dom during this postseason).

Still waiting for Marcin Gortat to treat all his fans to No. 13 fans. I still need to get a new(style) jersey.

I don't currently have any jerseys

If I did, of current players I’d go for Jameer Nelson. He’s from Greater Philadelphia, which is my home area.

For a throwback, I’d like a black pinstripe Scott Skiles jersey.

Oh yeah, he doesn’t play for the Magic anymore. I told myself that if he resigned long term, I would buy his jersey. Now I’m not sure whether I’ll buy one out of this group…but its between Pietrus, Carter, Lewis, or Nelson if I do. Someone bought we a Dwight jersey for xmas once. My prized Magic jersey that own though: Shawn Kemp.

Oddest jersey I still own: Matt Harpring. I still have an autographed Kelvin Cato I got from the season ticket holder raffle after the last game. Still have a Drew Gooden No. 9 and a Steve Francis.

Off-topic Magic: the best jersey I ever got was an old school Vancouver Grizzlies Shareef Adbur-Rahim jersey my grandmother got me when she went to Vancouver. I swear he was traded to Atlanta two days after I got it.

I got an authentic blue Shaq, 2 t-Mac ones(black retro & the blue w/black panel), and a Grant Hill jersey. But everytime I wear my Hill jersey, my ankles start to hurt!

VC " through the years"

Season ticket holders since the beginning, my family and I have accumulated more jerseys than we can name, from Nick to Darrell, to T-Mac, to Bo, to Jameer & Dwight.
However, as huge fans of Vince Carter, we ordered the authentic VC jersey (home & away) as soon as it was available with number 15. We have his High School (Mainland in Daytona Beach) throwback, His North Carolina #15, Multiple Raptors jerseys (including the one with the “Raptor” on the front, and even his Nets jerseys.
The Magic is our team & we love the Magic players, but Vince is my favorite player in the NBA. God answered my prayers & brought Vince to the Magic.
Orlando Magic fans are in for a real treat with Vince joining Dwight, Rashard, Jameer and the Magic TEAM. Let’s earn ourselves an NBA Championship. GO MAGIC!!!

Still… there are a LOT of people who’ll go with Dwight’s #12; after all… who can deny the guy’s smile power?

2007/08 Dwight Howard Home & 2008/09 Courtney Lee Road :`(

I never really had enough money to buy jerseys until recently, otherwise I’d probably own a Nick the Quick, Armstrong and/or T-Mac jersey as well, hopefully one being the classic black road alternate w/pinstripes version.

As for this year’s incarnation of the team, I’ll probably hold off to see if the jersey style changes for next year, though I may break down and get a Carter jersey. I’d love to get a Gortat jersey, but that would most definitely mean him being traded shortly afterward. sigh
