The Magic were aboard the team bus steaming toward their University of South Florida training camp site in Tampa, the morning after an evening scrimmage. The tired players were not thrilled about practicing.

There comes a point in the trip where the driver must turn into the arena lot or go straight and merge onto Orlando-bound I-4.

Darrell Armstrong started the chant.

"Straight! Straight! Straight!" Armstrong yelled.

And all through the bus the words echoed, along with the laughter, "Straight! Straight! Straight!"

The mood lightened immediately, and the bus turned into the facility for practice.
