Golden State coach Steve Kerr was introduced before the game by longtime announcer Paul Porter as a former "Magic star."
A grinning Kerr wandered over to Porter before tip-off.
"I told my buddy P.A. announcer, 'I believe I was here three months and scored a total of 12 points,' " cracked Kerr, who actually played 47 games for the Magic in the 1992-93 season and scored 122 points.
"I looked at him. Star? He said, 'In my eyes you were a star.' "
Kerr knows what a star looks like since he has enough of them to walk a Hollywood red carpet.
