Get HYPED!

The training wheels are off!


You were day 1 calling JI as our starting center. Love Coach Mose for this move. His fit is necessary for our starting lineup.

Half a decade of a 'dumb' idea :lol:

Gotta see the forest through the trees man. Building a championship team doesn't happen overnight... and the league was shifting was clear as day to me in ~2018.


I saw your vision. Won't lie, the injuries were souring me on him but I'm just thrilled it is all starting to turn around (knocks on wood). You stood on business and I respect that.

Gratz to JI. Many people here thought he wouldn't play again and here he is starting a playoff game.

I'm not gonna lie, I still cringe when he takes the slightest of contact :lol:

It was a 'dumb' idea before the injury history though. People constantly said he was too thin... like guys don't beef up as they get older AND like wasn't the league moving to quicker bigs already.

I can't predict how his body will hold up but strength is not an issue against 95% of the league and he is clearly a near perfect all-defense modern day center. Let's just hope he's healthy from here on out.

Like a sportbiker leaned way over in a corner, dragging a knee.
Or in this case, dragging an ankle.

I remember the last time the magic went to the playoffs with AG, Vuc, and Evan it felt like the run was a fluke, like it wasn’t going to happen again. But with Paolo, Franz, and Suggs this feels like it’s sustainable for years to come. Good luck boys.
