The Orlando Magic fired Frank Vogel in 2018, since then the coach has won the 2020 NBA title with arguably the best player in NBA history as his first option.

The coach went from a dumpster fire situation in Orlando where he had no top 20 players on the roster and struggled to reach 30 wins to coaching two top-five players in LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
