Magic fans, did you feel closer to winning a chip in 1995 or 2009? (alien.top)

Swept 0-4 in 1995, but the players roster was obviously more stacked with Penny and Shaq, compared to just Dwight in 2009.

Shaq and (peak) Penny were obviously/arguably bigger stars than Dwight ever was.

I remember. I was 10 years old and a Penny fiend.

Shaq bandwagon fan, then a Memphis State/Penny guy (years before the Grizzlies relocated) so, duh.

Penny/Shaq is still the best synergistic young duo I have ever seen.

Nick Anderson bricked 4 straight free throws.

Shaq signing with the Lakers ended a "sure thing" Orlando Magic dynasty, but Dennis Rodman getting traded to the Bulls gave Chicago the edge (at least short-term/intermediate term) over Orlando.

Well, that's the NBA. You just never know.
