ORLANDO - Cheering people up when they’re feeling down and putting smiles on their faces is something the Orlando Magic do often.
When they learned about a burglary that took place in February at Parramore’s Wells’Built Museum of African American History and Culture, where Magic memorabilia was stolen, the team quickly sprang into action and lent a helping hand.
Although extremely disheartened about the incident, the Magic saw an opportunity to turn lemons into lemonade.
Not only did they help repair the damage from the break-in, the Magic replaced the stolen items, which included Nick Anderson and Otis Smith jerseys and sneakers, with even more mementos.
