Back from vacation, I am anxious to talk Magic basketball again. As I thought about today's topic, it dawned on me that we are on the verge of the 20th season of Orlando Magic basketball. Hard to believe that I have been covering this franchise for 20 years. It's even harder to believe that I haven't aged a bit (and if ya believe that....)

So here they are...

Anez's Top 20 Magical Moments:

1..The very first pre-season game vs. Detroit when we beat the defending champs! (I put this one #1 'cause as a kid who grew up here, it was such a thrill to see Orlando finally make the big leagues)

2..Nick Anderson stole the ball! ('95 playoffs)

3..Scott Skiles' 30 assists (December 30, 1990). It's a record that still holds today.

4..Game 7 win over Indy in '95.

5..Magic close out MJ and the Bulls in game six in Chicago in '95.

6..NBA Finals come to Orlando, 1995.

7..Dwight's mega-dunk on the Spurs last year!

8..Penny's block during game four of Celtic series (May 3, 1995).

9..Superman soars at All Star Weekend.

10..Drafting of Dwight.

11..Drafting of Shaq.

12..Shaq pulls the goal down in Phoenix and NJ in '92-'93.

13..Penny's dunk over Patrick Ewing (December 3, 1994)

14..TMac's 62 points vs. Washington in March of '04.

15..Hedo last second shot beats Boston this past season.

16..Penny's 42 and 43 points and games 3 and 4 of '97 playoffs vs. Miami.

17..Rashard's last second shot to beat Pistons this past season.

18..Darrell Armstrong steal with :03 to beat Sixers in March of 1999.

19..TMac self-oop in All Star Game in 2002.

20..New Arena!
