The great JJ Redick comes through to Forgotten Seasons this week to relive the legendary 2009 Magic season. The nucleus of this team was 23-year-old DPOY Dwight Howard, and surrounding the big fella was Rashard Lewis, Hedo Turkoglu, JJ, and Rafer Alston. This group was ahead of their time; they were the second team ever to hit 10 or more threes a game. Much of that came from Stan Van Gundy's analytics-first philosophy. JJ tells stories about each of his teammates, proclaims that the 2009 Finals was the highlight of his career, relives each of Eastern Conference playoff series against Philly, Boston, LeBron's Cavs, and a lot more.
