ORLANDO – It was a fitting tribute on Friday to heart, hustle and canary-yellow suits.
Those three things helped define Darrell Armstrong, and to his credit the first two far outshined the last one.
Armstrong was officially inducted on Friday as the ninth member of the Orlando Magic’s hall of fame. He is the fifth former player to join the club, following Nick Anderson, Shaquille O’Neal, Penny Hardaway and Tracy McGrady.
At a ceremony in the Amway Center Friday afternoon, former coaches and teammates alike honored the 6-foot Armstrong as one of the hardest-working players in NBA history.
