On September 21, the Magic official posted a poster and asked: "Who is the starting five-man in your mind in the history of the Magic team?" The poster includes: Benkairo, "Penny" Hardaway, McGrady, Howard and O'Neal. Fans in the comment section said that Ben Keiro should be replaced with Grant Hill (Health Edition) or Tkoglu.
