What’s up teammates? Of course I’m calling you teammates because we are all in this together. Your support over these last few months has been special. My transition from New Jersey to O-town was as smooth as can be. Not only for the simple fact that I call Orlando home, but also because the community and fans embraced me with open arms. It’s been a while since my last blog, but as you can imagine Coach Stan, the Magic coaching staff, each one of my teammates and I have been putting in major hours to make this a special season.

Throughout this first quarter of the season, we have been working to effectively execute our plays, limit turnovers and most importantly take one game at a time. Oh, I forgot one other important aspect…HAVE FUN! Trust me when I tell you, having intense professors of the game on our coaching staff and a team full of pure comedians creates a great working environment.

One thing that makes our team special is that everyone knows his and each other’s strengths and weaknesses.  Although we have only been playing together since late in the summer, we share the same aggressiveness and effectiveness in hopes of getting us back to the place we ended last season; of course with a different outcome! When I tell you I’m excited and blessed for this opportunity, I truly mean it. Each day I wake up focused for the next challenge even though I’m sometimes distracted by the crazy antics of my 6’11, 24 year old teammate who loves a good laugh.  Yeah Dwight, I’m talking about YOU!

As we continue fighting this battle and developing as a team, I’ll tell you to do one thing… always BELIEVE IN MAGIC!

We’ll catch up soon,
