The Orlando Magic have inducted senior chairman Rich DeVos into the team’s Hall of Fame. DeVos will be honored during the Orlando Magic’s game against the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday.
The DeVos family purchased the team in 1991 just before the Magic’s third season, providing some stable ownership to the team. The team then took off with the drafting of Shaquille O’Neal, reaching the NBA Finals in 1995.
The Magic have been one of the most consistent teams in the Eastern Conference since then, making the Playoffs 14 times in the team’s 27-year history. Orlando reached a second peak in 2009 when the Magic returned to the NBA Finals behind Dwight Howard.
