Every NBA Franchise’s All-Time Starting 5

Orlando Magic

Point Guard — Penny Hardaway
Shooting Guard — Tracy McGrady 
Small Forward — Nick Anderson
Power Forward — Dwight Howard
Center — Shaquille O’Neal

In the case of the Orlando Magic, this is a franchise whose two best players were exclusively centers. Orlando has made the most out of winning the NBA Draft Lottery, selecting two all-time big men with the No. 1 overall pick. Shaquille O’Neal and Dwight Howard may have each exited Orlando on rocky terms, but both players were completely dominant while donning a Magic uniform. Penny Hardaway and Tracy McGrady made a combined eight All-Star appearances (in just 10 years) with Orlando despite each dealing with a bevy of injuries throughout their tenures. Nick Anderson earns the final spot as an underrated contributor throughout the 90s. He’s Orlando’s all-time leader in games played (692) and steals (1,004), and trails only Dwight Howard for the franchise leader in points.
