Our Story

I became a Magic fan during the 94/95 season because of my father. My uncle, who lived with us at the time, was a Lakers fan, and my dad didn’t want me to become a Lakers fan. So, we started watching Magic games together, and he began taking me to games when I was really young. That’s how I became such a big fan. I got into vintage in 2018, starting with my first Orlando Magic piece from Joey at a market on Wall Street—he now runs Fun Vintage. My love for fashion made Orlando Magic gear a natural fit. After buying there for about a year and a half, I decided to start thrifting and sourcing online to avoid the high prices. As my collection grew, I eventually had to sell some pieces because my one-bedroom apartment couldn’t fit it all.

“Players Only Closet”

The name "Players Only" came from the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary called Magical Moments. It’s based on the iconic moment when Shaq and Penny decided to hold a "players only" meeting to discuss Brian Hill, which eventually led to Hill's firing. I took the name "Players Only" from that conversation between Shaquille O’Neal and Penny Hardaway.
