Who are the top trios in Orlando Magic history?

4 of 7

4) Dwight Howard / Vince Carter / Rashard Lewis (2010-11)

The 2010 team is going to be viewed as a disappointment in the annals of Magic history. Which is really a shame. This team was truly a great team. They steamrolled through the NBA and were much more prepared and ready to win a championship.

The Magic in 2010 just ran into a buzzsaw in the Boston Celtics. They dropped two close games at home and the series seemed over at that. Disheartened, the Celtics easily won Game Three and the Magic scrambled to make the series look respectable.

It is a regret everyone on that team has still.

That team deserves our appreciation though. And even though both Vince Carter and Rashard Lewis were punching bags for the fans, they were still very good in their year together in Orlando). Even in 2011, the Magic were 16-9 before they traded Carter away.

Carter was not what the Magic needed him to be in the end — namely a superstar on the wing to take the pressure off Howard and create for himself late in Playoff games. He averaged only 16.3 points per game in a Magic uniform. He was pretty inefficient and became too much of a spot-up shooter at times within Stan Van Gundy’s offense.
