David Steele announces his retirement Tuesday after 37 seasons as the play-by-play voice of the Orlando Magic. According to reports, Steele has worked in both radio and television broadcasts, becoming the team’s long-running commentator for nearly four decades. The news arrives as the culmination of a career that began with an interview with Magic executive Pat Williams in 1988, after which Steele later joined the organization and continued in the role for decades. In a statement, Steele expresses gratitude to the DeVos family and the Magic organization for the support they have provided to him and his family. He also reflects on how the career path he discussed decades ago led to his long tenure with the team. The coverage describes Steele’s broadcasting style as familiar and consistent over the years, presenting his role as more conversational than strictly one-directional. Multiple accounts agree that his retirement ends an extended period of continuity for Magic fans, as he steps away from play-by-play duties after a long-running association with the franchise.
