Outside the three-point line in Magic's history, Dennis Scott is an unavoidable name. He was based in the 1990s with the label of "3D" (defense + three-pointer), and ranked first in team history with 981 three-pointers. He had "cross-era dialogue" with Ray Allen and Curry; in the early stage of his career, he went from the rise of the Magic to the wandering team, and made a commentary on the transformation after retirement - his career is a vivid footnote to the evolutionary history of three-point shooters.

In 1990, Scott joined the New Army Magic with the fourth pick in the first round, becoming the core of the team. Before O'Neal joined, he formed a forward-back line with Nick Anderson, and was the team's main scorer; after the Sharks arrived, his three-pointer became the Magic "voltage stabilizer" - During the rise of the Magic in the 1990s, in addition to O'Neal's violent dunk, Scott's stable three-pointer was the sharpest attack weapon.

Three-point dominance: The best player in the 1990s, Ray Allen and Curry, he dominated the list. "Three-point hits in the season" and "three-point hits in a single game". For many years, he was the "forefront" on the evolution of three-point shooters; regret in the finals: in the 1995 Magic reached the finals at the peak of their peak in 1995, Scott averaged 14.7 points per game, but encountered the stronger Rockets and was swept in four games. When talking about this matter many years later, I was still full of regrets - this was the closest and most painful moment in his career to the championship.

After playing for the Magic for seven years, he was traded during the turbulent period of the team. Because of his deep feelings for the Magic, he actually made mysterious operations such as "Roaring at the children in summer camp" and got involved in the storm. Leaving the Magic, he traveled to the Mavericks, Suns, Knicks and other teams, and completely wandered at the end of his career. He was cut by the Grizzlies in 2000 and bid farewell to the NBA.

After retiring, Scott transformed into a game commentator, and he can still be seen in multiple teams. From a shooter outside the three-point line to a "basketball narrator" in the commentary seat, he continued his connection with basketball in another way - to let fans remember that there was a "Three D Shooter King" in the 1990s who once lit up the glory of three-pointers for the Magic.
