Top Teams To NEVER Win A Championship (#9)

#9--- 1994-95 ORLANDO MAGIC

In the beginning of the NBA's 1994-95 season, Michael Jordan was still playing baseball for the Birmingham Barons and the natural successor for the Bulls dominance, the New York Knicks were coming off a finals loss. Translation? it was time for the Orlando Magic to ascend to the top of the NBA.

Combining youth with talent, the Magic were the sexiest pick to win the title that year. The aforementioned Knicks appeared to be getting older and unable to win the ring and even the reigning champs (Houston Rockets) appeared to be inferior to Orlando on paper.

Penny Hardaway was the en vogue "next Jordan/Magic" at the time and Shaq was establishing himself as the leagues most unstoppable player. The Magic coasted throughout the season with the leagues best record, and even beat the "back from baseball Jordan" in the playoffs.

But everything that glitters isn't gold. Admittedly giving Hakeem Olajuwon too much respect in the finals, the Rockets went on to prevail over the Magic and killing any dreams of a real life "Blue Chips" dynasty for Penny and Shaq.
