Orlando Magic’s mascot Stuff just won his third NBA Mascot of the Year award—his second straight—and social media is absolutely losing it. Fans are debating whether he truly deserves it or if the trophy’s rigged, with jokes flying about his “work ethic” and even suggesting PED tests. Comparisons to other mascots rage online, but one thing’s clear: Stuff’s charm and energy have fans buzzing, proving that even off the court, the magic never stops.

Desmond Bane’s Orlando debut was a spark—scoring over 20 points and elevating the Magic’s offense to its best in a decade—but his true potential remains untapped. Forced into a ball-handling role due to injuries, he shot fewer threes than ever before, missing the volume shooting the team envisioned. Yet, his impact was undeniable: the Magic scored more when he played. The playoffs hinted at what’s possible—when he finally got open looks from deep, the offense clicked. Next season’s mission? Get him back to launching threes. If the new offense unlocks his spacing, it’ll not only elevate Bane but also create room for Paolo Banchero—and reshape the Magic’s future.

The Orlando Magic’s three-point woes are crippling their playoff chances, despite roster upgrades and a new coach. With Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner needing to step up, veteran Nikola Vucevic offers spacing but can’t carry the load alone. Jevon Carter’s shooting dipped after joining the team, while Jonathan Isaac’s health remains a question mark. New signings like Malaki Branham and J.D. Davison must prove they can shoot to earn roster spots. The Magic may need to revisit trades or buyouts if perimeter shooting doesn’t improve — but with a fresh coaching staff, there’s still hope for a hot start.
