orlando magic intro 1995

[drakehilton300]

damn I wish Penny could've got his ring in those two years before Jordan dominated again

[JedskoPoz]

you guys should win this

[paulwhitemon]

that team was a whip... Best team on nba live 95 as well

[Gurt500ify]

@paulwhitemon NBA 2K12 as well, they are sick

[123idontcareok]

How did this team not win a championship?

[celinetouchedmyhand]

@123idontcareok BECAUSE ROCKETS HAD MORE EXPERIENCE BEING IN THE FINALS FOR BACK TO BACK YEARS. MAGIC WERE TOO YOUNG AND IN THE FINALS FOR THE FIRST TIME.

[MrElisha123]

and we didn't win the nba championship with that fuckin team ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[homeboi12]

Ah, Nick "The Brick" Anderson... I love you. ROCKETS!!! WOO!

[JJSmooth07]

The song is Get Ready 4 This by 2 Unlimited.

[jediconsular12]

ANFERNEEEEEEEEEEEE! HARDAWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

damn. best introduction ever and best team ever.

[yankeefan42]

The NBA was badass and awesome until 1996-1997, then went downhill.

[GUCEVO]

they dont make these anymore  :D

[Dimitrov001]

Does anyone know the name of the background music ? TY

[hatian123]

fuck the rockets..

[yankeefan42]

these were the days...

[vogelnest1234]

best lienup ever ! great times

[BrownBrother27]

I wish the Shaq/Penny duo lasted longer than 3 seasons in Orlando.

[hec2006]

@BrownBrother27

Couldn't agree more man I just wish shaq could of put his ego aside for once and actually stayed here just think about it he could of had probably more titles here (and earlier) then he did going to LA. It also sucks though that Penny lost is career after 99 due to injuries :(

[troxite92]

song name???

[DonRonter]

Fucking Nick anderson. Would've changed the entire series around if he didn't choke.

[ll8520ll]

whats the song??? i cannot remember. but that was the team right there! classic line up.

[KamHtown]

sowas this game one or game two?

[aph83]

@KamHtown

Game 1

[vap420]

@KamHtown had to be game 1.......Nick Anderson doesnt look like he just missed 4 straight freethrows to ice the game

[YasinElik]

great

[AlexSquash]

listen to the roar of the crowd.. i love this atmosphere

[gobears14]

Man, this was back when the NBA was actually watchable. I am still pissed about th ECF that year due to the Magic outlasting my Indiana Pacers, but I always thought that Shaq and Penny were the bomb back in those days.

[drhod2x]

We are going to sneak up on the league, like, again, these playoffs.

[nutballgazette]

Who is that skinny guy O'Neal

[efmovies1]

WHAT'S THE NAME OF THE INTRO SONG??

[richz4life]

y'all ready for this

it's a Jock Jams CLASSIC of the 90s

and also many Bar Mitzvah party's intro song LoL (including mine)

[aKILLAfromAPK]

our old dream team. we got a new version now.

[aph83]

sorry but compare this 2 teams is off color.

every players of starting five in 95 own the players of today...no question about the boring level of the league...

[darioadiletta]

what is the song??

[scir91]

i remember these days and also the penny nike commercial hehe. the economy was booming too during those clinton years. seems like it was just a short while ago!

[darkzero1]

The Magic seriously need another memorable team intro like this one or like the bulls used to have. The intro this season sucks.

[Starburyballa3]

My favorite squad of all time the 95' Magic. How I wish Penny Shaq stayed in Orlando. Coulda been a dynasty.....

[TwighlightMist]

man this seems like so long ago, I remember watching the magic vs pacers in the east finals back in 1995, seems like it was an eternity.

[aph83]

yeah me too, and i don't want to forget those days...i miss only the first 2 games of the magic in their playoofs run.

if i have time, i will up all intro of the orlando magic in the pacers-magic series

[KOKING313]

@aph83 I have every single game of the Orlando Magic's playoff runs from the 1994-1995 season and the 1995-1996 season. I am able to burn the discs and they are all in great quality...

[dannyfury21]

vince carter wont do shit for you.

lakers got ron artest. i smell back to back titles

[KOKING313]

@dannyfury21 I smell a meltdown in March...

[pivotrunner]

ya u do

[bulls7123]

Anfernee Hardaway and Shaquille O'Neal was a terrific combo.

[bulls7123]

I LOVE this team, the Orlando Magic. Been a fan since '96.

[woodencoasterfan]

3D from DOWNTOWN. Glad to see Paul Porter is still there doing annoucing.

[lawofpsysics]

i will gladly fight each and every one of you motherfuckers who think you're hard over the internet and also think you represent some motherfuckin lakers. chances are ya'll fat as fuck eatin popcorn on your couch each time they play because you can't get your broke fat ass off the couch to pay for a ticket to see the game.

[KOKING313]

@lawofpsysics Are you saying that you're a Lakers fan or that you don't like the Lakers? I'm confused.

[lawofpsysics]

born and bred magic fan

[sotajoker]

@lawofpsysics me 2 die heart

[kdc111190]

Magic got some curse!! haha! 4fts missed.. missed alley-oop...

[metropolis1986]

gooooooooooooo magic!!!!!!!!!!! from italy

[gigi0806]

GO MAGICCCCCCCCCCCCC

[HuskerFanatic]

This Rockets fan is looking forward to hearing this again in Game 3 of the Finals this year. Go Skippy Alston, go get your ring!

even as a Rockets fan, it was heartbreaking to see Orlando fade the way they did in this series. I hope you have better luck this time around.

[Princess314]

I ♥ Nick Anderson!

[adamosgp]

Paul's being waiting a long time to do this again.

[merahim083]

Loved every named called except brian hill.

[DCJayB]

Can't wait to hear it again.

[eastridgeguy18]

I like the sound of that....Eastern Conference CHAMPS!!!!!!!!! were gunna do it again tonight!!!!

[djlilray73]

Yes this was a fantastic line up indeed, i still can`t believe this team was sweept. Orlando was a young team with Horace Grant being the only one with NBA Finals experience. Houston was a veteran team. Plus Houston`s bench out played Orlando`s bench. I still remember when they use to call Dennis Scott ........... " 3D " cause he was soooooo dangerous from the 3 point line.

[erickvida7]

We are going back!!!!!!!!!!!t! Lets go Magic!! This is out timeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

[stlstunna]

My favorite team of all time

[KirbyPeanuckle]

i was at that game, one of the saddest days of my childhood.... still trying to forgive you brick anderson

[rvdstunner]

nick the brick anderson.....why o why........he was one of my fav. players before this day...... LETS GO PENNNNNY

[darkzero1]

If it wasn't for Nick, the magic wouldn't have won many games in the past. It's not his fault he was mentally affected by missing those 4 free throws. That's pretty harsh to call him "nick the brick". Penny was good. But People act like he was on Tracy McGrady's talent level.... which he never was.

[escalade3636]

that video is gives me the chills every time.

[rellik4life]

penny was the fucking truth

[TwighlightMist]

that announcer is still doing games for the magic

[6023691702]

this announcer sucks crap now rplace this pa guy with the one from chicago in 96 keep the light effects and u got ur self a dynamite intro

[k7dog]

shaq looks so much smaller here than right now.

[nutballgazette]

The worst P A guy ever. Try sitting at a Lightning game with the Red Wings ahead 8-1 with 3 minutes left and 237 fans left in the building and this fool yells at the top of his lungs, Come on Fans Stand and Cheer Yourrrrrrrr Tampa Bay Lightning.....

When you look up PA Announcer in the dictionary you see a Picture of Bob Sheppard

[JCBizkit87]

you're idiot... the end.

[jermaineonealnumber7]

The best PA I have ever heard. Hands down.

[magnumcornetto]

I still give the 1995-1996 starting line-up a slight advantage over the current Orlando Magic starting five (with the 3 all-stars and all), but the bench back then was just pitiful. Let's see how far can "we", the Magic, make it this year.

[aph83]

"a slight advantage"...good joke !

3 all star? anyone could be all star in 90's.each players of startin 5 of 95 are better than the startin 5 of current magic

so stop bullshit please

[magnumcornetto]

Well, ok... can we at least agree that current coach is better than Brian Hill? lol

[AkiraBenito]

best Orlando Magic line-up ever!

my memories!

[Deadshot089]

This was the time when Houston was amazing. And when the NBA was awesome. I still got respect for the Magic. They were amazing too. But Hakeem was on his Prime what do you expect from a player like him.

[hhorns2002]

man i miss those days... but they are slowly but surely coming back

[daplayaab]

the music sounds like midi file version of "get ready for this"

[8cali94]

i miss this kind of excitement when i was in childhood when the fans really appreciated the game

[gobears14]

1994-1995 was a very good year for the NBA....my Pacers cams so close to the Finals that year.....couldn't win in Orlando, dammit.

[sloopydoopy1]

the good old days of the nba.

[landsmann81]

best team ever !!!!!!!!!!!

[goldendawns]

what a starting lineup!

[faceplantmedia]

I just got the biggest chills ever!!!!!!!!

[nutballgazette]

Great Quality Video. Brings back some great and bittersweet memories.

What could have been

[delishadish]

oh my god what a nasty starting 5: penny, anderson, scott, grant and shaq...how did they lose so badly in the finals?

[IOYB]

We came out of the gates firing, and just started pummeling them, as the lead grew to 20+ quickly, but they fought back and eventually won it.

Capped off by Nick's 4 missed freethrows, a loss like that, at home, can be quite demoralizing, especially for a young team.

The champs just took it from there, and we never recovered.

[JCBizkit87]

enjoy losing in the first round again. I hope T-Mac enjoys being a first round failure for life with you guys.

[homeboi12]

oh,hell,no. u did not just go there. a'ight. we might lose. but next year, we'll have yao back. we will be champion.

[JCBizkit87]

No way will you guys be anything, not in that West. Plus as long as you have McGrady you will always be out in the first round anyway.

[holyshnikies369]

and what relevence is that considering MeMac has been in Houston for many many years now...

[vandals84]

Forget the players....how can you not get past the magnificent hair on Brian Hill's head?

[666bushisnazi666]

shaq, horace, scott, anderson, hardaway was an awesome team

[jadillac1181]

goosebumps....

[XonezIOIzenoX]

Man I miss those good old days. My favorite basketball team right here..How sad how things went for them after the 1995 nba finals. The 5 legendary magic players.

[Undefeated81]

I got goose bumps! I hadn't seen the old intro in years. I miss that team. Threeeeeeeeee D!

[pretz5]

does this video almost make anyone else start crying??? are us magic faithful on our way back to the promised land???

[kukid26]

Paul Porter is the guy on the PA.  penneeeeeeee!!!!!! lol

[jblakecubsfan]

Was Paul Porter really the PA announcer back then?

[dknasty1]

Lives in my neighborhood

[jblakecubsfan]

Does he really?

[JCBizkit87]

To this day I can't believe we got swept by those hacks.

[HuskerFanatic]

Now THIS was vintage NBA, which I'd LOVE to have back right now. GO ROCKETS!

[chrisz71]

MAN I loved this team back then- loved EVERY one of them, loved how they put Horace Grants goggles on Disney's water tower, MAN I was pissed when Houston won this- MAN it upset me. Though I was in Second grade at the time, and lived over 1,000 miles from Orlando (still do).

[tjenkins1911]

Yes I remember the Horace goggles on Disney's water tower too. I was working at Universal Studios at the time and they countered with a Magic jersey on King Kong.

[CHOBG]

This was when Basketball was basketball. Classic

[Beltmark]

I remember this season, 2 home losses all year and the first didnt come until right near the end of the season. Throughout the year they were classed as the best starting 5 in the league.

Great times, Orlando should have won the title in 95, and that they let Shaq get away was a crime.

[patakapenny]

no doubt...i love magic since 1989...

[shadowkiller20]

Magic should had won game 1. *sad*

[CeitaAmaral]

Realy I can't forget those guys, I mean Horace Grant, Denis Scott, Nick Anderson, Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway, Shaquille O'neal. The five legendarys of Orlando Magic. I also remember that was in that time I fell in love by the Magic and till now I'm a big support of them. Go Magic!!! From Angola to all of you a big Holla!!!!!!!! Peace

[Erix7810]

what a stacked lineup

[mayi757]

Damn right, only 2 home losses that year wow

[Erix7810]

wow... just those info bars with their names makes me remembe the awesome days of nba on nbc. it was my life

[ChazYocom]

i have a Hardaway Jersey that confirms with this game

[bkalhorcrt]

i love the magic! only fan in nyc!!

[udbuksihpU]

i miss it to. i was a big fan from orlando. penny was my favorite player. thanx

[adamosgp]

Still miss that intro.

Paul Porter best PA ever.

[doesthreeswithease]

Man what a team. scott, anderson very strong from behind the arc! grant and shaq one oft the most powerful frontcourt out oft that time! an with penny, one of the most creative point guards since magic johnson! can't believe, that they lost against houston. and shit history, that shaq left and penny got injured

[SResnick213]

Haha, Brian Hill. In his "glory days"

[mayi757]

notice how there's little cheer for Brian LOL

[Jaymo2k7]

Did that guy say Memphis State...Penny's from Memphis U.

[ends15]

They Changed the name later but in 1995 it was still memphis state

[Jaymo2k7]

oh, ok.

[tjenkins1911]

Ahhhh the glory days...

[ricecakes1323]

Brian Hill is balling as shit...dont get it twisted.

[KBixenmann]

at one guard 6 6 from Illinois number 25 Nick ANNNNDERSON!!!

[supamari0]

nick thhheeeeeeeeeee brick annnnnnderson

[homersimpson9]

2 things happened in the 1995 postseason that's shocking to me: 1) Michael Jordan (even though returning about midseason) and his Chicago Bulls didn't make the NBA finals and 2) Nick Anderson missed 4 free throws that could have made Orlando win game 1 (probably one of the worst moments that has happened in the NBA in a game that I have watched, to go along with Michael Ruffin's toss which ended up in Mo Pete's hands and hit the game-tying shot at the buzzer)

[mayi757]

Magic were beating Houston in that first finals games by 20 at halftime. They had blown out Houston both times during the season. Brian Hill couldn't adjust and didn't have a good series at all. Magic should've won it all.

[mayi757]

I mean Shaq didn't have a good series

[wade2bosh]

Brian Hill sucked. Give them Phil Jackson and they woulda won a few rings.

[nochey78]

with shaq leaving and penny not being able to stay healthy...not likely!!!

[javiersoc24]

damn... my 2nd favorite team ever !! mah first favorite was the 93 bulls with Cartwright,Grant,Pippen,Jordan and Armstrong.. of course Horace here makes it my second best team.. along wit Penny n Shaq.. still cant believe they got swept !! Horace deserved that ring coming off the bulls

[bombbaby]

3D in the house

[AndyMertel57]

"Horace Grrrrrrrrant" hahaha

[zbp23]

YES!!

[dreirocks]

penny hardaway #1
