This week’s Orlando Magic classic replays series airing on Fox Sports Florida will focus on 2009 playoff series wins over the Boston Celtics.
Dwight Howard, Rashard Lewis and Hedo Turkoglu helped lead the 2009 Magic to the NBA Finals, dispatching a Celtics lineup that included Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo, Glen Davis and Ray Allen.
“Even though I’m not playing, I guarantee a win,” Ewing said on John Thompson’s radio show before Game 7.
Celtics coach Doc Rivers was surprised by the comment and said his team felt great entering the matchup, while Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said he had no problem with Ewing’s statement.
