We had a long, enjoyable run, and I would like to thank every Orlando Magic fan who contributed to our small community on the web. This message board will be left online as an archive into the thoughts and minds of a group of Magic fanatics who lived through a 21-win season, the drafting of Dwight Howard, and an eventual NBA Finals appearance. You can also visit the original MagicMadness Forum at http://orlandomagic.proboards.com.
Special thanks to our Staff Members: Black and Blue, MAGICMANEVAN, and NYCMagicFan!

he does smile alot and probably makes people think he is a fool. he does need to get the "KG" mindset and he can really whoop some ass next year when he beefs up and gets better. |

This guy who "smiles too much" seems to dunk on a whole lot of people. I have seen Dwight get aggressive and angry, he isnt all smiles all the time. He tossed Kenyon Martin into the first row when he got angry. An aggressive Dwight is a scary thought. I admit he was tentative a lot this season, rookie jitters if you ask me. He will come back bigger, stronger and with a full 82 games under his belt, another summer league and a whole offseason working with Clifford Ray. Dwight Howard starts his domination game #1 next season. |

A smile can be pretty intimidating too. If Magic Johnson was able to smile all throughout his career and dominate, why on earth are they worried about Dwight's smile. A smile can excude confidence much like Magic did. So if Dwight can mix it up, dominate and smile that will be awesome. It's about time we see player who actually looks like he is enjoying playing without looking like something is stuck up his ass. Just my 2 cents. |

"Magic should sink teeth into Howard's smile" by Mike Bianchi Orlando Magic management really has gone and done it now. They've told Dwight Howard not to smile so much. I know what Smith is trying to do. He's trying to instill toughness. He wants Howard to start knocking out teeth instead of showing them. Don't listen, Dwight. there are some things best left out of the hands of tough-guy General Manager John Weisbrod and his personnel posse -- and charisma and persona are definitely two of them. Telling Dwight Howard to quit smiling so much is like telling Streisand to quit singing so many beautiful songs. Why discourage perfection? Howard has the absolute best smile in sports and lights up the arena every time he flashes it. "As Dwight's dentist," Bilancione says, "I say he needs to keep on smiling. He has one of the broadest, ear-to-ear grins I've ever seen. In fact, I think smiling actually helps his performance. Not only does smiling help Howard play better, it helps us feel better why is there this sullen culture today that says the public face of preference worn by athletes should be an angry glare? Who came up with the mentality that you can't grin and win? Why is it you have to scowl to show how tough you are? And why can't you build a winning team around a winning smile? Joe Frazier, one of the toughest heavyweight fighters in history? When he'd get hit particularly hard during a fight, you know what he'd do? He'd smile as if to say, "Is that all you got?", then proceed to beat the bejabbers out of his poor opponent. And what about Magic Johnson, one of the NBA's fiercest competitors who radiantly beamed his way to five championships? Playing sports is an absolute blast, so what's wrong with acting like you're having fun out there? The Orlando Magic have a phenomenal rookie with a captivating personality. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/bask...?coll=orl-magic |

The smile is a trade mark, for Dwight and eventually this franchise. We will have the superstar leading us too championships, smiling along the way. |
