What’s up y’all? After our heartbreaking game 4 loss, I had to get out and clear my mind a bit. First I went to go grab a bite with some of my friends. I wanted to stop and get some McDonalds, but we ended up eating at Five Guys since it was right next to the movie theater. Five Guys is good and all, but their menu can’t compare to “the Golden Arches”. They don’t even have milk shakes!
Anyhow, while we were ordering, a fan offered to pay for my food. It was a nice gesture and all, but me and my friends eat waaaay too much to have any one fan pay for our food. Here’s video of me interacting with the fan:
After the movie, we went over to watch “The Hangover”. That mess was pretty funny. It was good to get out and hang out with my friends. It was also great to get to hang out with some of my fans in Orlando. Even though we are down in the series, every person I met out on Friday night showed me love. After the movie, I made sure to stop and take pictures with as many fans as I could. Here’s video of me at the movies:
Anyhow, let’s get this win tonight.

D-12 I KNOW THIS IS GOING TO BE HARD ON YOU BUT I PRAY THAT YOU DON’T BEAT YOURSELF UP TOO MUCH. I BELIEVE THAT JAMEER NELSON BROKE YOU GUYS CHEMISTRY AND SOME THINGS WE JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH. YOU GAINED A LOT OF PEOPLE’S HEART AND THAT WILL NEVEER CHANGE. YOU ARE STILL YOUNG AND HAVE A LOT OF CAREER AHEAD OF YOU AND WHAT DON’T KILL YOU WILL ONLY MAKE YOU STRONG BECAUSE THE NEXT TIME AND THERE WILL BE A NEXT TIME YOU WILL DEFINITELY KNOW HOW TO HANDLE BEING IN THE FINALS AND BEING DOUBLED AND TRIPLED TEAM AND HOW TO FIGHT THROUGHT IT WITH THE PASSION WE ALL KNOW YOU HAVE. I AM SURE THE MAGIC FANS APPRECIATE YOU TAKING TIME WITH THEM….I KNOW I WOULD! SMILE! KEEP THE FAITH AND KEEP ON BELIEVING THIS WAS ONLY ONE OF MANY TEST AND LET THOSE TEST CONTINUE TO BUILD THE GREAT CHARACTER WE HAVE ALL COME TO KNOW AND LOVE. D-12 FORGIVE YOURSELF AND MOVE ON! JUST KNOW IT WAS NOT YOUR TIME YET BUT YOUR TIME IS DEFINITELY COMING. I HOPE BECAUSE THE SEASON IS OVER YOU DON’T STOP COMMUNICATING WITH YOUR FANS OR YOU DON’T GO INTO SECLUSION WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO HEAR FROM YOU AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO ENCURAGE AND PRAY FOR YOU! YOU HAVE BUILT AN ALLIANCE THAT A LOT OF PLAYERS DON’T HAVE SO YOU CAN BE PROUD THAT YOU LOST THE GAME BUT YOU DID NOT LOSE YOUR HONOR!!!! THAT SAYS A LOT! GOD BLESS AND STAY PRAYERFUL, THANKFUL AND FAITHFUL! MUCH LOVE TO YOU!
Dwight, sucks you guys couldnt pull out another win. I think you guys will be that much better when Jameer comes back to full strength next year. I never expected you guys to make the finals this year after he went out. I was so down after that happened. Even when we got Rafer in that trade realistically I never expected a finals appearance but I figured we did give ourselves a chance by getting him.
As much as I love Jameer (and I really really like his game) I cant help but believe his early comeback may have disrupted the team chemistry. It would have been better to sit him and just have him working on his stamina, explosiveness, and shooting which was clearly missing and maybe try to play later in the series and see how he did. Im sure he’ll be great next year since he has the whole summer, training camp and everything to get back into premier shape.
Thanks for a great season. Hopefully we can top it next year with one more playoff series win and take a title home here to Orlando.
Watch some tape, (especially the finals) because this Laker team took total advantage of mismatches, their strengths vs your weaknesses. Yours and everyone elses on the team. If you figure out what you could have done to beat this Laker team in the offseason. Work on that. Incorporate new moves into your offensive attack, become a better free throw shooter and most importantly develop as a team. You can get that #1 seed in the league next year. You have a lot of work to do. I know you can get it done.
I am waiting for you, Your most sincere language tells us. You are Superman!!
king?These messages do not know whether you will pay attention to, However, I will give you the biggest smile.
Looking at you, come when you can not go.
Hold your head up we had a fantastic season get that ring sized for next year xx
I think this is awesome that you appreciate your fans so much to take time to chat and pose for pictures with them! Hey, I’ve got a great group of friends that got together almost every game at either my house or Boardwalk Bowl Sports Bar (Coasters)! LMK if you want hang out and shoot some pool…. Trick Shots maybe! VIP room on me! We’d have a blast! You deserve some down time. The Magic played an awesome series and we are just so proud of all of you! Orlando came together and it was all about the Magic. Let’s keep together! Trick Shots, Pool, maybe some darts!
Lots of Love,
Your East Orlando Fans!

You are still the best and your bond with your teammates is irreplaceable. You have nothing to be ashamed of. Just perfect your craft and get ready for next year! Thanks for being a great role model for people who don’t have a positve male figure in their lives. You are a very special human being(almost superhuman) and you have no idea how much your fans appreciate the spirit you have. Stay positve and know that you are loved. I am thankful for a man like you and we never even met!!!!!lol

D-12 there is nothing for you to ashamed of. You and the rest of the Orlando Magic players worked very hard this year, and accomplished great things that alot of people did not think that you were capable of. I know that you can take it all the way next year because i believe that 2009-2010 season is your year. I appreciate what you have done so far, and love the way the you represent the orlando Magic. Keep it up!!!!!! love you Meko
I feel so bad the team. Come back even better next year. I know you will. We have waited a long time to give up now! Have a great summer.
Don”t worries about it we have next year so keep your head up and we will get that championship next year (superman)

Superman, we love you! Great season, hold your head up high because you guys played tremendous this year. It was so fun for all of us fans to watch. Your personality and contagious smile is awesome. Next year is our year!!!!!!!!!
Dwight…I love you, man! Thank you for an unbelievable season! Looking forward to next year!!
Dwight, great season and looking forward to an even better season next year. Thanks for helping to put the “Magic” back in Orlando.
Hello Dwight,
I must say that I am intrigued by your capacity of kindness. While watching the videos clips of you interacting with your fans, all I could think about was the fact that you had all opportunity to get in your car and roll out; but you didn’t and that is so sweet! I can see why you have so many fans and so many friends that love you, you are such a loveable being. Hopefully one day I will be graced with the opportunity to meet you and even spend a day with you. Just being in your presence and having a good time would be wonderful. Until that day, i wish you a lot more success to come and continue to be kind and humble.
Peace, Love, & Blessings
Dwight, you are still the man! I never really watched basketball, but now YOU got me hooked! Orlando may not have won the title this year, but you will definitely have many more years to gain plenty of titles. Keep up the great work! You have unmeasureable talent! We love you, man!
i wish i could met you when you hang out in orlando but that’s impossible,cause i am not living there,even in the usa..so when will you come to china again,just let us chinese fan know if that would happen,we’ll be all exciting about that!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the greatest season ever for the O Magic, and it will not be long before you get your Ring, I know you will come back better than before. Thank you Dwight and Go Magic forever
aH!Its hard to miss Dwight
u are awesome!
You and the Magic are the BEST no matter what! You brought love and togetherness all around Orlando and nothing beats that
. No hard feelings, there’s always next season! <3
you have an awesome spirit! we are lucky to have a player like you. you are the mvp in my mind. you have the atitude and charisma that the game needs. a lot of other players are cocky, maybe its cause they have been arounf forever. whatever! i dont know. i just appreciate that you understand what its about.
we all have hard times
crap happens
but losing makes you learn from your mistakes and builds more mind strength and in heart. keep your head up high. your fans and i will be praying for you.
until next time,
Bradley Mercer
I hate all Florida sport teams cuz everybody talking craps over there.

Dwight, you are one class act. Most sports stars would run away from their fans in public, but you take the time to share a moment with them. I know your fans appreciate it.
