Gen Z Magic Gen Z Podcast Network

Magic fans we have a fun one! I was pumped to be joined by Orlando Magic and roster construction expert RK to talk all things Magic, Paulo Banchero, the NBA draft, and more!

So the year flew by and both year 1 of the Magic rebuild and Gen Z Magic with Corban Ford had a slow start, but both are back! Corban briefly recaps a 22-60 season with some highs and lows, then look to the bright future- for both the Magic AND the Gen Z Magic Show!

Hello all! Corban Ford is now at the helm of Gen Z Magic, and this very first episode gets listeners up to speed on the moves that the Magic made this past offseason, and the expectation heading into this year, with more great content to come as we continue this season!
