I Believe In Magic

Congratulations to the Orlando Magic in defeating both the Cleveland Cavaliers and the NBA referees in winning the Eastern Conference Championship. Now, it is off to the NBA finals to take on the Los Angeles Lakers.
I used to love the NBA when I was a kid back in the days of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson and the early Magic days, but I have not been following the league that much in recent years. I have gotten involved and taken in this entire playoff run.

With a new arena on the way, it is great for the community for the Magic to be challenging for a championship. Although they are hurting for sure in providing adequate HD television coverage, the Wingshack Conway was slammed for the game Saturday night, as likely were several sports bars across town. This is fantastic news and a huge assist to the bottom line for these small businesses during these economically contracting times, which as a former owner of a small Orlando sports bar, I am quite familiar with.

I'll be cheering the Magic on during the finals, and I think they have a great chance to win the title. Go Magic!
