The Orlando Magic have one of the worst records in the NBA right now.
No one is happy with the 1-7 record they hold, but people aren’t that surprised either.
Everyone knows that the Magic still have a few more seasons before they’ll be true playoff contenders, they are a work in progress and building themselves up slowly but surely.
They might not be getting a lot of wins but that doesn’t mean they won’t have some impressive moments here and there.

On Tuesday night, Magic star Franz Wagner got up and created a viral clip when he dunked over the Oklahoma City Thunder in a rim-rattling manner.
It was one of the best moments of the night and reminded fans of just how truly great Wagner is.
Sadly, the Magic still ended up losing 116-108 to the Thunder.
Wagner’s Winning Moment
Wagner scored 20 points and 7 assists for the night.
He was the second-best scorer for his team, behind Wendell Carter Jr. who showed up with 30 points of his own.
Between Wagner, Carter, Bol Bol, Jalen Suggs, and rookie Paolo Banchero, the Magic really do have a lot of talented young men ready to impress.
But even with all their skills, their squad is still far from true postseason greatness.
This is Wagner’s second season in the NBA and it follows a terrific rookie year which saw him averaging 15.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.9 assists.
Will there be a time when Wagner is known across the country as one of the best forwards in the league?
It’s possible, especially if he keeps playing like this.
No one should expect an incredible winning record from the Magic this year but they should anticipate more highlights from Wagner.
