Nick Anderson joined the Orlando Magic's community relations department as community ambassador during the summer of 2006. Anderson, who was a staple in the Orlando community as a player for a decade, continues to take part in a variety of community outreach efforts. The Magic’s first-ever NBA Draft selection out of the University of Illinois (11th overall, 1989 NBA Draft), Anderson played ten seasons for Orlando from 1989-99. In 692 career regular season games with the Magic, he averaged 15.4 ppg., 5.3 rpg., 2.8 apg. and 1.45 stlpg. Anderson ranks as the franchise’s all-time leader in games played (692), field goals made (4,075), steals (1,004), field goals attempted (8,976) and three-point field goals attempted (2,480). He also stands second on the Magic’s all-time list with 10,650 points, 900 three-point field goals made and 22,440 minutes played. In 2014, along with Pat Williams, Anderson was an inaugural inductee into the Orlando Magic Hall of Fame. He was also inducted into the Chicagoland Sports Hall of Fame in September 2016 and into the Florida Sports Hall of Fame in November 2019. Anderson may best be remembered for one of the greatest moments in Magic history – stealing the ball from Michael Jordan during the closing seconds of Game 1 of the 1995 Eastern Conference Semifinals, allowing Orlando to win the contest and eventually move on to the NBA Finals. In 2005-06, Anderson was the first honoree as part of the Magic’s “Commitment to the Past” program, a multiseason effort aimed at embracing Magic history and the team’s former players. Anderson won the inaugural Rich and Helen DeVos Community Enrichment Award in 1995-96. He also serves as a pregame and postgame television analyst for select games.
