Favorite Magic Memory during your time as an OMD: 1) The first time we had a practice in the brand new Amway Center. We were all standing in the middle of the court, looking around at this huge, beautiful arena, and thinking, "Wow, I can't believe this is our new home. 2) During the last game we played in the playoffs, most of the team went downtown to watch the game together. It was a super tense game, but we lost. We all cried some, then decided to celebrate what an incredibly perfect year it had been together. It was extremely bittersweet, but it is a night I will never, ever forget.
10 years from now I see myself: with a family and a job planning sports events
