Heyyyyyy wooorrrrrrlllld!!! Hope ya’ll are OK there here in America and around the world. We were in Houston last night and I’ve gotta say I’m so impressed with how there are more and more Magic jerseys in the crowd than ever before. When me and Jameer came to Orlando, we talked about how we were going to make Orlando be known for more than Disney World, and I’d like to think we’re doing out little part now spreading the Magic name.

Last night’s game was crazy, ya’ll!!! Before the game, the media and my teammates were all telling me about how I could set the Magic record for the most double-doubles in a row. Then, I go out there and get two fouls in 22 seconds!!! I was so mad at myself because I thought I had messed up my chance at getting the record. Ya’ll know that I’m all about winning, but it was pretty cool to have a chance to do something that nobody in a Magic uniform has ever done.

But when I got back in the game, I just made up my mind that I was gonna be aggressive on both ends of the floor and let the chips fall wherever they may. I wasn’t gonna let the early fouls take me out of attack mode or staying hungry.

And that worked ‘cause it helped me play really well and it helped us get a huge lead on the Rockets. We slipped up some in the second half and let them get back in the game, but I really think we had it the whole way.

I try to learn something from every single game ‘cause I’m still kind of a young player in this league and what I will take out of that Houston game is that just because I get off to a bad start or get a few early fouls it doesn’t mean I can’t still have a big night. And I have to remember that just because I get a couple of fouls that I can’t let it affect my mindset. It still has to be attack, attack, attack!!!

Not sure if you guys saw it or not, but Vince Carter broke my record for the longest shot while sitting down earlier this week. I can’t believe he got some run on SportsCenter by making that shot. Here’s kind of what happened if you didn’t see the video.

After getting up shots and free throws with Patrick Ewing, I started playing around with one of our ballboys, seeing if I could make a sitting-down shot from the other free throw line. After a few minutes of doing it, Vince joined in. I hit the backboard a couple of times, then hit the rim and got so close to making the shot.

WE realized we were actually too close and backed up a few more feet. Not sure if people realize how hard it is to throw a basketball 86 feet without your legs!!! I had a couple that were on line and I really thought they were going in … and then VC went and made one. It was crazy.

I know I’ll never hear the end of it from him now. He was telling me that he was better at it because he used to be a quarterback in middle school. They measured his shot at 86 feet, so now I’ve got something to shoot for because I know I can make that shot, too.

It’s just something silly we do from time to time to help us get through a long season. And we’re all so competitive and something like that really gets me going.

I like the flow we have going right now as a team, and I think we’re starting to peak at the right time. We just have to finish the regular season strong and then hit the playoffs firing on all cylinders!!! We do that and that ‘chip will be ours this year.

Take care, y’all!!!
