Desmond Bane delivered a standout 25-point performance for the Orlando Magic in their 123-107 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Monday night, but it was a postgame interview that truly stole the show. As Bane recapped the win, he received an unexpected review from a very famous critic.
Comedian and "America's Got Talent" judge Howie Mandel suddenly crashed the interview, pointing at a momentarily confused Bane and declaring, "You've got talent! Who am I to judge?" The Magic guard, looking pleasantly bewildered, recovered quickly to thank Mandel with a fist bump before the comedian exited with a final compliment: "That was amazing, that was magic!"
The hilarious interaction capped a strong night for Bane, who also recorded three blocks. Now averaging a career-high 20.5 points per game and shooting 39.4% from three-point range, the former Memphis Grizzly has been a key acquisition for Orlando. His scoring prowess, alongside Paolo Banchero and Jalen Suggs, has the Magic (43-36) positioned for the Eastern Conference Play-In tournament, proving that Bane's talent extends far beyond just a viral moment.
