The Orlando Magic are celebrating a milestone this weekend that few NBA franchises can claim — two Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame inductees in the same class. For a franchise that’s spent most of its existence hovering between rebuilding and re-rebuilding, having two people connected to the franchise enshrined in Springfield is a big deal.

Except … well, let’s talk about who these two people are.

First, there’s Dwight Howard, whom I consider to be the Magic’s greatest all-time player; the man who dragged Orlando to the 2009 NBA Finals by blocking shots, dunking on everyone and flashing that cartoonish smile. Yes, Shaq had a greater overall career, but he’s in the Hall of Fame mainly because he was a Laker. Dwight is in the Hall of Fame almost solely for what he accomplished in Orlando.

Dwight was Superman in blue and white. He was the perfect mix of dominance and joy, at least until his infamous trade request turned him into the villain of Disney’s happiest kingdom. But hey, give credit where it’s due: Dwight gave the Magic relevance for nearly a decade and he’s easily their most accomplished homegrown star.

And then there’s the other inductee: Billy Donovan. Yes, that Billy Donovan — the University of Florida legend, two-time national champion and the guy who once accepted the Magic head coaching job … for about as long as it takes to microwave a Hot Pocket.

In 2007, the Magic thought they’d landed their man. A press conference was held. A rebrand was planned. Maybe even a few “Billy D” bobbleheads were ordered. But just a few days later, Donovan had a change of heart and bailed on Orlando faster than an I-Drive souvenir stand goes out of business.

Even so, technically, the Magic have two Hall of Famers going in this weekend. One is the most dominant center the franchise has ever had. The other is a guy whose Magic tenure lasted about as long as a TikTok video. The greatest player in franchise history and the greatest footnote in franchise history.

Dwight is a legit legend who gave the city unforgettable years and a memorable Finals run. And Billy D? Hey, at least Orlando was part of his Hall of Fame story — even if it’s just a weird oddity.

So raise a glass, Magic fans. Two Hall of Famers are yours — kind of.

Short stuff: There was a sellout crowd at Bill Belichick’s debut as North Carolina’s head coach. There was a pregame concert, headlined by country star and UNC alum Chase Rice and the star-studded event was attended by UNC alums Michael Jordan, Lawrence Taylor and Mia Hamm. And then TCU blew out North Carolina 48-14. I’m not saying Belichick’s team ruined the party, but this like inviting Gordon Ramsay to a Labor Day cookout and serving him microwaved hot dogs. If you’re scoring at home, Bill Belichick is now 29-39 as a head coach since Tom Brady left New England. Which means without Brady, the Hoodie goes from GOAT to goat cheese — soft, smelly and crumbles under pressure. … Florida State became the first school to be fined $50,000 by the ACC for violating the newly enacted event security policy after fans stormed the field following Saturday’s 31-17 victory over Alabama. This shouldn’t come as a surprise: The ACC has been costing FSU money for years. …

By the way, did you see where Jameis Winston’s brother, Jonah, has committed to play for FSU? I’m wondering if the Seminoles promised Jonah something Jameis never had — an NIL deal with the Publix seafood counter. … Miami recorded a huge victory against Notre Dame over the weekend, but the game just didn’t have the same hatred as that legendary rivalry of yesteryear. Is it just me or did Catholics vs. Convicts feel more like Catholics vs. the Condo Association. … After the 55-0 victory over pathetic Long Island, the Florida Gators now have a gantlet of games against USF, No. 3 LSU, No. 5 Miami, No. 7 Texas and No. 19 Texas A&M. In other words, the Gators have just gone from splashing around in the kiddie pool to swimming with sharks. … Remember Nico Iamaleava, who was booted from the Tennessee football team after he held out in an attempt to renegotiate his NIL deal? He was UCLA’s starting quarterback Saturday when the Bruins were drubbed 43-10 by Utah. Iamaleava has gone from playing quarterback for UT coach Josh Heupel, one of the great offensive minds in college football, to playing quarterback for a  UCLA program that hasn’t been relevant since Troy Aikman was wearing acid-wash jeans. This might be the worst career move since Radio Shack thought digital was just a fad. …

The only person who has had a worse week than Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer is Paul Finebaum, who predicted Texas would blow out Ohio State, trumpeted Arch Manning as the best college player since Tim Tebow and said Alabama was a national title contender ranked far too low (No. 8) in the AP preseason poll. Hard to believe Finebaum recently signed a mega-million multi-year extension with ESPN. I mean, seriously, has anybody ever been paid so much money to provide hot takes that age like sushi in the sun? I give Finebaum credit, though. He has made a career of turning bad guesses into beachfront property. …
