ORLANDO – Tonight, 3-D will be back in the building.
On Friday, as the Orlando Magic square off against the Milwaukee Bucks in NBA Cup action, Magic Hall of Fame inductee Dennis Scott will join the MagicTV broadcast team as a special guest broadcaster for the night.
Scott will appear on the pregame show beginning at 6:30 p.m. ET. He will also participate in the in-game broadcast, which tips off at 7 p.m. Tune in information is available here.
Scott played seven years with the Magic. During his tenure, he averaged 14.8 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists, while shooting 40.3 percent from 3-point range. During the 1995-96 campaign, Scott set a then-NBA single season-record with 267 3-pointers made, a standard that lasted for 10 years.
Scott’s legacy is also reflected in postseason success as he helped Orlando reach the playoffs for the first time in 1994 and earn its first NBA Finals appearance in 1995. 3-D played in 41 playoff games with Orlando, averaging 12.2 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists, while shooting 36.4 percent from deep. On May 25, 1995, against the Indiana Pacers, he made seven 3-pointers during Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals, setting a franchise playoff record that still stands to this day.
“That’s where the emotions kick in heavy,” said Scott during his Magic Hall of Magic induction speech. “You remember the good times. You remember the struggles. You remember the bad days. You remember how we turned it around and they became good days again.”
