Editing Darrell Armstrong (section)

===Orlando Magic===
Armstrong first signed with the NBA as a free agent for the [[Orlando Magic]] in late 1994–95, playing in the last 3 games of the regular season with 10 points in 8 minutes of action including a spectacular one-handed reverse windmill dunk late in a blowout vs the Indiana Pacers in his 2nd game. In 95–96 he played just 41 minutes in 13 games, scoring 42 points total; despite his limited minutes, he participated in the 1996 [[Slam Dunk Contest]]. He was inactive after February.

He saw 67 games in his first full season on the roster in 1996–97, averaging 6 points per game in 15 minutes per game off the bench. Armstrong won the [[NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award]] and the [[NBA Most Improved Player Award]] in 1999, thus becoming the first player in NBA history to win both awards simultaneously. In a 1999 game against the [[Philadelphia 76ers]], Armstrong stole an inbounds pass and streaked to the other end of the court for a game winning layup as time expired. He subsequently became the starting [[point guard]] for the Magic. His career year was in 1999–00, averaging 16.2&nbsp;ppg in 31&nbsp;mpg. 

On February 14, 2001, Armstrong recorded 22 points and a career-high 16 assists in a 114–101 win over the [[Los Angeles Clippers]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/200102140ORL.html|title=Los Angeles Clippers at Orlando Magic Box Score, February 14, 2001|publisher=Basketball-Reference|access-date=May 28, 2020}}</ref>

During his nine years in Orlando, the team never posted a losing record, making the [[NBA playoffs]] seven times.

On July 7, 2003, Armstrong was arrested after an incident outside an [[Orlando, Florida|Orlando]] night club. He was subsequently charged with resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer, but the case was eventually dismissed.<ref>[https://www.espn.com/nba/news/story?id=1676231 Judge dismisses case on second day]</ref>
