When Jeff Turner and his wife, Dee, decided to have kids, they agreed to limit the basketball memorabilia he'd put on display.

"There are no shrines in the Turner house," laughed Turner, the former Magic forward and current television color analyst for the club.

There is, however, "a little spot" reserved for Jeff's most-treasured keepsake: his Olympic gold medal.

It is suspended from a sharp-looking case made at Wilson's Machine Products in Winter Park, a gift from his mother, Anne, who once owned part of the company.

The gold medal placed around Turner's neck in the 1984 Summer Games is 32 years old now, but it hasn't aged a bit in what it represents.
