The Orlando Magic recently made Sports Illustrated’s list of biggest NBA “clown shows,” and they absolutely deserved that position.
Alex Hampl, the writer who nominated them for the dysfunction award, highlighted the team’s lack of success and direction. He mentioned the frequent coaching changes, bizarre personnel decisions, and questionable rotation decisions as reasons for their dysfunction.
In fact, he claimed that if Orlando were a bigger media market, the Magic would be much more commonly thought of as a clown show to the average observer. However, they often go under the radar when teams such as the New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls have issues.
