The Orlando Magic may not be ready to win a championship this year, but they are definitely worth your attention. Cole Anthony should be one of your favorite players in the NBA.

This is only Anthony’s second year in the league and he is already making headlines. He’s playing great basketball and giving the media a show every chance he gets.

Anthony is putting up great numbers this season, leading the Orlando Magic to the best of his ability. They are only 3-8 so far this year, but they sure are entertaining.

Their most recent win was by far the most impressive one of the year. They took down a very talented Utah Jazz team 107-100, and Anthony was the main reason behind that victory.

He put up 33 points, three rebounds, and two assists in the contest while shooting 13-20 from the field and 5-10 from three-point range. He led all scorers.

It was yet another amazing performance, adding to a slew of them this season. Anthony is averaging 20.2 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 5.2 assists this year, while shooting 44.8 percent from the field and 41.4 percent from deep.

The highlight of his night didn’t come until after the game, however. Anthony was interviewed after the game and his intensity caused the moment to go viral.

He clearly brings the same energy to postgame interviews that he brings on the court. It leads to amazing content every time he gets the chance to be on the mic.

This isn’t the first time one of his postgame interviews has gone viral, either. One of his interviews went viral last year after he hit a game-winning shot against the Grizzlies.

Heis energy is infectious and watching him in his postgame interviews should do nothing but bring a smile to everyone’s faces. That is unless you’re a fan of the team he just went off against.

In just his first two years in the league, Anthony is already making his case as one of the most entertaining players in the NBA. Anyone who loves the game of basketball needs to become familiar with the name Cole Anthony.
