Orlando Magic time!


After dinner, on Monday, we wandered over to the Magic Team Shop and Adrian bought a J.J. Redick shirt.  Redick is number 7 for the Magic and a former Duke player.  After a quick change we headed over to the stadium early.  Although our seats were in the cheap section the ushers let us into the lower area for awhile.  Adrian and I waited for the players to enter to get signatures and Pat stood on the opposite side to take pictures.  We managed to get a few signatures.  Unfortunately, Redick waved but did not stop to sign.  The Magic did not have a good game and lost to the Bulls by at least 20.  J.J. only got 3 points but another former Duke player, Carlos Boozer, who plays for the Bulls had a big game with 20 something points.  There were actually four former Duke players on the floor, two play for the Bulls and two for the Magic.  Even though Duke was unable to advance to the second round of the NCAA tournament they must be doing something right to produce such great players!
