birthdays Stories - Orlando Pinstriped Post
Happy Birthday, Chris Duhon!
Orlando Magic point guard Chris Duhon turns 28 today. Duhon finally signed with the Magic as a free agent this summer after nearly joining them in 2008. Despite Duhon's choosing the Knicks over the Magic that year, Magic GM Otis Smith's interest in Duhon never wavered, and he jumped at the chance...
Happy Birthday, Brandon Bass!
Orlando Magic power forward Brandon Bass turns 25 years old today. The Magic's highest-priced offseason signing at $16 million over 4 years, Bass has struggled to crack the rotation, appearing in a mere 50 games and recording 31 DNP-Coach's Decisions as coach Stan Van Gundy more often elected to...
Happy Birthday, Matt Barnes and Adonal Foyle!
Orlando Magic forward Matt Barnes and center Adonal Foyle turn 30 and 35 today, respectively. Barnes is in his first year with the team and has already made a huge impact, most notably on Sunday against the L.A. Lakers. One wonders if Kobe Bryant will bother sending his well-wishes along. His...
Happy Birthday, Marcin Gortat!
Orlando Magic center Marcin "The Polish Machine" Gortat turns 26 today. Now in his third season, he developed into one of the league's top reserves centers almost overnight, going from the end of the bench as a rookie to second only to the All-Star Dwight Howard in the playoffs. He assumed top...
Happy Birthday, Jameer Nelson!
Orlando Magic point guard Jameer Nelson turns 28 today, as his backcourt mate Mickael Pietrus did two days ago. We're all a little shaken up due to Vince Carter's 48-point explosion last night, but let us at least take a moment to wish Nelson a happy birthday. Nelson's showing signs of returning...
Happy Birthday, Mickael Pietrus!
Before the Orlando Magic and the Boston Celtics get underway, I wanted to wish a happy birthday to Orlando Magic forward Mickael Pietrus, who turned 28 today. Though Pietrus' productivity has waned in his second season with Orlando, he's managed to stay reasonably healthy, only missing 3 games so...
Happy Birthday, Anthony Johnson!
If it's October 2nd, it's Anthony Johnson's birthday. The Orlando Magic guard turns 35 today, and will get to celebrate it with a day off from training camp; coach Stan Van Gundy rewarded his players with a day off after their hard work on Thursday, which means they'll reconvene tomorrow. A.J.'s...
Happy Birthday, Stan Van Gundy
Today marks the 50th birthday of Orlando Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy, arguably the best coach in the team's 20-year history. In the summer of 2007, Van Gundy took over a 40-42 outfit led by Brian Hill and immediately guided it to a 52-win season and a division championship (with a little help...
Happy Birthday, Rashard Lewis
As far as blog posts go, 'Happy Birthday' ones are fairly easy to write. One can plan for them, quite literally, years in advance, if one wanted to; I doubt many bloggers plan that far ahead. So I've had Rashard Lewis' birthday post planned for a while, and obviously it's taken a bit of a...
Happy Birthday, Patrick Ewing!
As is our custom at Third Quarter Collapse, we'd like to extend a happy birthday to Orlando Magic assistant coach Patrick Ewing, who turns 47 today. Patrick has been credited for furthering Dwight Howard's offensive development since his arrival to the coaching staff two years ago. Ewing also made...
