Shaquille O’Neal. Penny Hardaway. Tracy McGrady. Nick Anderson.

“That’s great company,” Armstrong said on Tuesday, shortly after it was announced that he will be inducted to the Orlando Magic’s hall of fame, joining the aforementioned quartet as the only players in that franchise’s equivalent of a ring of honor.
Armstrong, an assistant on coach Rick Carlisle’s staff who also played for the Mavericks on the team’s 2006 run to the NBA finals, remains one of the most beloved players in Orlando’s history after making the team as a hustling, undrafted point guard in the 1994-95 season.
