It’s weird that you think that is the criteria that should be used to retire a player number

I think most would agree it’s not

But if the Magic are insistent on retiring a number for their anniversary, there aren’t many options to pick from. Hardaway and Howard are pretty much it

Picking the franchise’s first ever star who is fairly universally well-liked makes enough sense
