Magic Basketball Mailbag Debut

Quick announcement.
Inspired by other sites in the blogosphere and after receiving positive feedback with the idea on Twitter a few days ago, I’d like to start a ‘mailbag feature’ at Magic Basketball.
It’s quite simple, really. You, the reader, e-mail me inquiries related to the Orlando Magic and I’ll be more than happy to answer them with either statistical analysis or detailed commentary. I will respect and maintain anonymity for each person that asks a question but if you’d like to pass a name along, feel free to notify me in your message and I’ll gladly grant the 15 minutes of fame. Also, I’ll post questions and answers once a week, at minimum, but depending on how many messages I get in my inbox, I may make multiple posts every couple of days.
I figure, more than anything else, the mailbags will offer a chance for you to get answers to your questions and make yourselves feel like you’re part of the site, which exists solely for your benefit to learn more about the Magic.
Let’s give this a trial run and see how it goes next week.

There’s no doubt that Marcin Gortat, who prefers to be known as the “Polish Machine,” is one of the more popular players on the Orlando Magic and has really endeared himself to fans of the team in recent years. Gortat’s rags to riches story is one for the history books, given that he’s gone from being a little-used bench player to becoming a key reserve for the Magic and has gotten $34 million richer in the process. Heck of a story, eh?
But wait, it gets better. It’s been recently discovered that Gortat has a Flickr account.
Since the beginning of March, there have been pictures posted not only of Gortat but of his fellow teammates, really nice cars, and more. Check it out for yourself. Knowing that Gortat has a friend or two that is with him, whether it’s at games, practices, or if he’s out and about, it appears he (or they) is the one that has been taking a majority of the photos. Whatever the case may be, getting to see Gortat in a variety of settings is never a bad thing.
The Many Faces of Jason Williams
Ball Don’t Lie took the time, in response to Kobe Bryant’s now-infamous photo shoot, to rank “the most bloggable photos of the Internet age” last week. In response to this humorous endeavor led by Trey Kerby and company, I compiled some pictures of a player on the Orlando Magic that has — inadvertently — aided in the process of creating a slideshow masterpiece.
Behold, the many faces of Jason Williams.
