Catman's Top 20 Orlando Magic Moments

20. Mark Acres gets a DUI

In the young, fledgling years of the Orlando Magic, there wasn't much contraversy. As far as we knew, there wasn't any drug use or domestic violence...pretty much law abiding citizens. In fact, between Dave Corzine, Greg Kite, Mark Acres, and Scott Skiles, we mostly looked like a construction crew. And normally, Mark's infraction here wouldn't garner much notice, except that his DUI was the first news making law breaking for the team. In fact, if I remember correctly (which usually I don't) Mark's biggest ovation from the crowd came the game he returned after missing a couple games because of it.

What's Mark doing now? Well...this is verbatim from WikiAnswers:

Q-What does Mark Acres do now that he is retired?

A-He is a physical education teacher at J.H. Hull at Levy in Torrence,
CA.

Veon Lee: I am a 8th grader at jh hull middle school right now, and he just
made me do cardio without running today. He is very old and no one at our
school really know that he was a basketball player!

Well, Veon...rejoice now! You are learning from a piece of basketball history!
