ORLANDO – Not long after he was acquired by the Orlando Magic in a trade over seven years ago, Nikola Vucevic could feel the love and support from fans across Central Florida.
Those early cheers inspired the 7-foot center, who made his first All-Star appearance last season. Every day he’s in the gym training and preparing for competition, the 29-year-old thinks about all that support because, without it, he’s aware it would have been even harder to reach his potential and become one of the best players in Magic history.
Whenever he has an opportunity to give back to the community and lend a helping hand, Vucevic jumps at the opportunity to do so as a way to show his gratitude all while helping others, especially children, get the most out of their own potential.
