Do You Agree With The Orlando Magic Retiring Shaq’s Jersey? | 02/14/24

Shaq got his jersey retired last night by Orlando so that’s now three franchises that he’s had his jersey retired why did it take so long for the Orlando Magic to retire their first jersey because Miami Heat and the Lakers and now Orlando yes Ean uh

Well why did it take so long or why did it happen at all oh okay so you’re saying not retirement Jersey worthy of his what four or five years there I’m say look Shaq is obviously one of the great players of all time but ultimately in

Orlando he was there for a little bit and then was like all right get me the hell out of here I want to go to a winner thank you sha and for that we want to honor You by putting your name no one’s ever gonna well okay I don’t

Know just seems like but they haven’t won anything if they’re waiting to win to retire a Jersey they may not have anybody in the rafter anytime soon you know what though they almost had a really good chance at winning something before sha and then he left to go to the

Lakers and got a bunch of rings there well you get a chance to bring everybody back uh Shaq was talking about Penny Hardway I always look at what could have been it’s not fair to Shaq completely what could have been in Orlando if he and Penny were on the same page if Shaq

And Kobe were on the same page now they won three they should have won six I mean but you know that’s where ego and jealousy gets involved and shaqs talked about this Penny was a f he was fascinating player like he was different and wonderful and they you know they had

That draft day trade where they drafted Weber and then he eventually went to Golden State and then they got Penny you know rights to Penny Hardway and you just thought Shaq and Penny yeah Marv look they’re the only only team to beat Michael Jordan during that sixth title

Run yeah they like oh well you he came off retirement no one was saying he came off a retirement when he scored 55 that same season okay does anybody have a problem that Shaq’s Jersey is retired by Orlando what was it four years that he spent there correct okay

96 Paulie I don’t have a problem but I really see what Satan’s saying four years no titles you have to use you almost have to shoehorn how Orlando would became relevant really fast with Shaq really competitive really fast with Shaq that is not a title but I would say for that

Franchise it’s okay for a normal franchise he didn’t do enough okay let’s say Shaq doesn’t win a title when he leaves Orlando does he still get his jersey like he became so famous he’s so famous now is Orlando capitalizing on that now like I don’t know why you’re waiting now

Unless Shaq said I don’t I don’t want it now yeah C if Shaq won a title and hell yeah absolutely if Shaq never won a title but stayed his whole career there and like gave his whole career to the play absolutely no doubt okay I I’m not

Like upset about it or anything I just didn’t really understand why other other than he went on he went on to become tremendously successful and very famous and one of the best players of all time and he started here so that’s kind kind of cool okay I guess

Yeah I wouldn’t say why I would say why did it take so long yeah Mark I think it would have been a little bit different if he became a great player when he left Orlando but he was already a top level player when he was in Orlando Dwight Howard get his jersey retired

Absolutely oh well you know what you know what I think it’s a little bit different because he asked for a trade Shaq was a free agent so Shaq was free to leave I think that’s a big thing like Kyrie Irving in Cleveland you asked to leave

So if they don’t retire it I’m all right with that but Shaq was a free agent and Shaq got them to the finals so you don’t think Dwight Howard that they might I think he should but if they don’t yeah because they’re still upset about him

Asking for a trade and asking out I can understand that yes Todd if you’re a team that doesn’t pun intend have a lot to hang their hat on as far as their accomplishments in their world it kind of looks cool even if he doesn’t fully deserve it in some people’s eyes to have

A Shaquille O’Neil Orlando Magic Jersey hanging forever in the r i got to factor that in you know you’re not winning a championship anytime soon and you get a chance to celebrate Shaq comes back uh Penny’s there it was great seeing Penny there uh here is Shaq talking about his

Uh his running mate Penny Hardway get up here you told a lie in your speech you said that you wouldn’t have been you if it wasn’t for me I could say the same thing brother uh I owe you everything I appreciate you very much and I wouldn’t be here without you

So stay up here cuz even though you guys are celebrating me this is definitely our night and I want you guys to celebrate this night with me they did a great job when you look at the drafting with with Shaq and Penny uh Nick Anderson was great Horus Grant I mean

They they had they had some really good Pat Williams was the GM I think at the time yeah Paulie the first five drafts of the Orlando Magic starting 9 Nick Anderson out of Illinois very good player Dennis Scotta Georgia Tech who had a I would say a good to very good

Career especially with them he was really at his Peak then they went bison D who didn’t stay there too long but would end up being a good player then they got Shaq and then they stumbled into that number one pick which is Weber which is traded for Penny Hardway those

Are their first five drafts yeah yikes I mean you built you built a franchise you built a winner right there yeah if Penny had stayed healthy go she was such a unbelie partner you know we just you watched him and you’re like God he’s different he is

Different yeah marf they are the perfect example of they’ll be back when they lost in 95 yeah or the Thunder when they had Kevin Durant and those guys they’re young they’ll be back and they never got back that’s why I always say oh don’t ever say they’ll be back you don’t know

If they’ll be back yeah see Shaq and Penny is is like the The One That Got Away you know where it was like gosh it was right there how did we mess this up like how did that not stick I mean I know obviously Penny hurt but it was

It’s kind of like the one that like gosh we almost had it all and it was a three-year window there yeah and they put on some shows but then I think Penny got the commercial and then Little Penny and it it it just felt like there was

Jealousy there uh then once again Shaq has talked about this that he wasn’t mature enough and certainly with Kobe and who’s the star and like you know on the outside you’re going who cares like you’re winning but it does matter it does matters to these guys who’s the

Star who’s making more who’s got commercials yeah paie it’s frustrating to even look at Penny hardaway’s third year in the league he avered 227 and six two steals everything the guy’s 24 years old he finished third for MVP finished seventh on the same team I got my little

Penny doll here that uh was that uh it wasn’t Chris Rock was it Marvin he was the voice of okay yeah I I don’t know if it does anything you can’t guard me the Secret Service can’t guard me that was one of the lines yeah maybe oh there you

Go Secret couldn’t go there you go Secret Service couldn’t go yeah I don’t know why I keep all this stuff well you know this is why I keep all this stuff right there so when somebody says you’re a hoarder and I’ll go yep I am but right

Yes Marvin Shaq won the scoring title at 22 in 1995 averaging 29.3 a game yeah at 22 that’s pretty good it’s okay yeah

Dan Patrick and the Danettes discuss whether or not they agree with the Orlando Magic retiring Shaquille O’Neal’s jersey
