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.

Hedo Turkoglu of the Orlando Magic attributes his improved play to Coach Stan Van Gundy.

"Stan has really helped me a lot because his system really fits well for me," Turkoglu tells "NBA Access With Ahmad Rashad" this weekend. "I think he saw what I was capable of doing. And right now, he gives me a lot of opportunity, and I'm just going out there and doing my best."

"NBA Access" airs at 1 p.m. Saturday on WFTV-Channel 9.

Turkoglu says his early days in Sacramento were crucial because he learned from Europeans Vlade Divac and Peja Stojakovic.

"I was coming first from Turkey, and I wasn't really speaking good English -- imagine what I sounded like eight years ago?" Turkoglu says with a laugh. "But I was lucky I had Peja and Vlade. They could speak the same language, and in those tough times, they really helped a lot."

And these days, Orlando is lucky to have Turkoglu.
