As I anxiously anticipated Thursday’s debut of ESPN’s latest 30 for 30 documentary, This Magic Moment, I had a basic understanding of what I was going to watch.
The story of the star-crossed mid-1990’s Orlando Magic is something well documented for most basketball fans and certainly for someone like me that just finished his eighth season covering the Orlando Magic franchise.
That inevitability of watching the Magic make a quick rise and take a hard fall did not make the film any less entertaining or illuminating. While there was no new outcome for Orlando, it certainly hammered home a few realities of where the city was and where it is today.
