LEGACY: Orlando Magic Must EMBRACE Doc Rivers’ Lessons from Heart and Hustle

Former Orlando Magic coach Doc Rivers entered the Basketball Hall of Fame this weekend, allowing us to look back on one of the franchise's most beloved teams. Even though Rivers won a title and had more success at his other stops, his first team is essential to understanding his Hall of Fame legacy. The Heart and Hustle team still resonates with Magic fans as a baseline standard for the team. Magic fans expect their team to play hard and with intensity every night to live up to that team's legacy. That was something the Magic struggled with last year. Despite their talent and ability, everyone could sense something was off. And it was this intangible grit and determination that defined not only the 2000 team but the previous four seasons with this group. Sean Sweeney has a lot on his plate as he takes over the Magic, but re-establishing this identity is as vitally important as anything else for the team to take the next step and advance out of the first round and beyond. 00:00 Doc Rivers' impact on Magic 06:23 Doc Rivers' early coaching impact 11:29 Why Magic fans love Heart and Hustle 15:37 Questioning the Magic's effort level 19:53 Team's need for effort and energy 23:18 Magic's Defensive Identity Crisis 27:16 Heart and Hustle Magic Team Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
