Orlando Magic Top 30: The Most Popular Player in Orlando Magic history

10. Bo Outlaw (1998-2002, 2006-08)

Nobody really knew who Bo Outlaw was when the Orlando Magic acquired him in 1998. He had played four years before then pretty solidly, but hardly anything impressive. Everyone knew him as a gritty defensive player and an opportunistic scavenger on offense.

That is to say, he had very few offensive skills.

That was OK in the end. Outlaw made up for it on pure hustle. He is the exact kind of player that always endears himself to fans. They just want him to do well.

Outlaw had two things going for him in the end: He was willing to dive on the floor for any loose ball. Hustle is an easy way to endear yourself to a fan base.

The other thing he had was a massive grin. One that lit up a room and lit up the court. He is one of the few players in the league that seemed to have no bit of malice in him. Even when he was getting technical fouls, Outlaw was smiling.

Even with his limited offensive skill, there was always a joy to his game. It was hard to imagine him ever upset or angry on the court.

That carries over into his work as a community ambassador for the team. Putting him in that ceremonious role as a representative of the team was an easy decision. He was someone everyone loved inside and outside the organization.

Fans may not know exactly who he is or remember him much as a player. But he remains someone everybody loves and associates with the Magic.
