Play on an NBA court? That’s exactly what happened.
Welcome to Mad Props. Today, host Chris Schnabel shares his unreal experience playing pickup basketball on the official Orlando Magic court at the Kia Center during the Court of Dreams event hosted by the Sixth Man Show Podcast.
From being a lifelong Magic fan to stepping onto the same floor as legends like Dwight Howard and today’s stars, this episode breaks down the full journey—how the opportunity came together, what it felt like walking through the tunnel, and the moment he hit an NBA three-pointer.
This is more than just basketball—it’s about community, fandom, and turning passion into once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.
