The Orlando Magic scored a 111-96 win at the Kia Center on Sunday against the Toronto Raptors. The contest required a concerted effort from Orlando, with Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner combining for 51 points to take down a shorthanded Raptors side.
One of the biggest highlights of the game, however, came after the final buzzer with rookies Gradey Dick and Anthony Black deciding to pull off arguably the greatest jersey swap of all time.

When do the Raptors play the Celtics? Derrick White is next!

That Derrick White suggestion is hilarious. There are a few other players on the list that Dick should consider swapping jerseys with in the future. Jaylen Brown, Kevin Love, Draymond Green, and Nassir Little are just some of them.
