penny was a shooter first kind of player! he is in my top 10 greatest player of all time, i am from MEMPHIS & i watched him as a kid! even tha GREAT #23 (M.J) said penny was tha only guy who could take his spot!! penny was tha truth!!
penny was magnificient my favorite player back then youngens probably don't know of him as a magic he did what lebron and bigger guards do today at a very lean and slim 195 frame i don't care what anybody thinks penny was the man MAN he shouldn't of rushed his injury comeback but oh well he definitely was a great great entertaining player hope he gets hof
damn he was sick he is a smaller lebron they way he attacked the paint he isnt forgotten about every player in the league now compares there game to his ..when players rush back from injuries bad things happen smh
Penny scored 16pts in 1 game off the bench for the Heat just 2 years ago. pretty impressive for someone who, back then, was struggling to get back into the NBA. Yes, he's old, but he knows how to get himself in shape.Hopefully they'll Let him have a shot against the others vying for a last roster spot,no special treatment.Some younger guys who didnt follow the NBA in the mid 90s, may not remember how great Penny was during his years in Orlando.Nike expected he would be the AirJordanReplacement
Back then, a lot of basketball pundits would make the argument that Penny would never reach his full potential until he moved over to the SG/SF postion. The truth is however, Penny was never really comfortable being a scorer. Although he could score almost at will, he knew his best asset was being a playmaker. Besides, scorers come a dime a dozen but gift playmakers only come along ever so often.
@flossbee volume scorers, especially now come dime a dozen. Anyone can score with a hot hand, many touches and shooting attempts. But Penny was hella efficient due to his acumen and expanded skill set, more so than the players who play like him nowadays. Being able to score, make the most of your touches while playing good defense and getting the team involved are much harder to find.
soft pussy who dunked on every great center in the 90's besides shaq?? and if shaq wasnt on his team beleive me shaq's overrated ass woulda got served a facial,yah that soft huh? u dont know shit
@AarHart1985 LMAO keep suckin that overrrated faggots dick..dude couldn't play ONE FULL SEASON...such a scrub. WHERE is he now? Ever be in the HOF? Ever have his jersey in the rafters? HAHAHHAHAHAHA he's a scrub
he played every game his 1st 2 seasons check ur facts out before u make statements and try acting like u know shit,PEnny might not have the career totals and the rings but Penny's potential was better than anyones muaaafucka!
real talk one 1 on 1 there was no one who could guard him i just imagine what he would have been able to do if not for injuries but injuries or not hes one of the greatest ever
@AarHart1985 hahahah how many championships did he have? How many years did he play at least 80% of the year? LMAO and he didn't break anyones ankles...Tim never guarded him.
If it was not for injuries Penny would have been one of the greates players to play the game. His court vision, basketball accumen, athleticism was unparrallel. He lead the Magic to the finals, the fastest expansion team to achieve that feat.
You is dumb as fuck because Penny is not going to be in the hall of fame. They is not going to let anyone in the HOF that was good for 5 seasons, lol. Another thing, he hasn't accomplished anything, either.
The Hall of Fame isn't b.s., ole dumbass. The Hall Of Fame is for basketball legends & guru's. Please don't get mad because Penny won't be going to the Hall of Fame, clown. Penny is not a legend because he was good for 5 seasons. He hasn't won shit in the NBA, clown ass
mark jackson has the 2nd most career assist and isnt even in the hall of fame...
like i said its all politics and bullshit u nba hype faggot..... pennys been a legend theres no arguing that...thats why Penny got krazy fan base posting up vids and givin him his props.....i could tell u just a mj dick rider that loves to follow the NBA hype.....The NBA makes millions over faggots like u .........
stop gettin hard off of watching pennys videos and go jack off to ur mj highlights
Lol @ your bitch ass. This is a free country and I can do what I want. I am telling you the truth and the truth is Penny was a good player(keyword: was)
Yeah Doc Rivers was a idiot for that statement...Penny could handle the ball better than most smaller point guards and he had the size to play the 2 and the 3...This guy was extremely talented and I hate the injuries got the best of him!!! It takes me to watch these old games to remember how good this dude actually was...
Yeah, that's like saying that Magic or Big O were 2 guards trying to play the PG position simply because they are bigger than the prototypical PG....another reason of why Doc is so stupid and lucked into the title last year. If they don't repeat, it will be because of Doc.
This is a Dumb ass Commentator Talking About Penny isnt a Point Guard he sounds Like them Dumb ass Critics that Said Magic wasnt a Point Guard and was to big for it If you got the God Given talent then U just got the God given Talent.
Doc Rivers ur a moron Penny was a PG and a SG and a SF you could put him anywhere..He got plenty of dribble penetration throughout his career thats why he blew his knee out..so much for him knowing anything lol
1 of the best all around performances of all time.When Penny went on his streaks he was unstoppable.I remember in 2001 when he and Vince Carter kept going back and fourth at one another throughout the whole quarter neither of them could miss that was fun to watch.Penny ate Pat Riley's Miami Heat for a midnight snack,Then decided to break Tim Hardaway's ankles just for shits n giggles,Nobody cant touch Penny in his prime!
Those Pennies he rocked might be besides the Space Jam Jordans, the illest Basketball shoes ever.That's why it was imperative that penny suceeded because shoe companies were really pushing him as the heir apparnet to matching the Jordan brand.He was suppossed to be a mega-star until he got hurt.His game was developing as well.The Penny sneaker catalog is the illest ever outside the Jordan brand.Lebron shouldn't have took nmber 23 and Kobe shouldn't have never tried to be # 23.Penny was Penny!
Don't pay attention to what I wrote 'cause it isn't for the guy that posted before me. It's in reply to somebody else's comment but was sent to the top for some reason.
anyone has the complete video of this game and game 4?
i have been a Penny fan since when i was a kid, i didn't catch this game live, only at midnight i saw sports news and the anchor woman said that 'Penny Hardaway scored 42 points and defeated the Miami Heat', i was like YEAH!!!
Actually, Scott Skiles was the point guard when Hardaway joined Orlando in 1993.
Doc Rivers' point on the telecast was that Hardaway wasn't a true point guard. Instead, he was more of a big "combo guard" who never averaged more than 7.2 assists in a season but could really score. He could pass, too, but he was almost more in the Jordan mold, only not as strong and consistently brilliant.
Yeah you're right. On Penny's Wikipedia page it said Skiles ran the point and Penny played at the 2 his rookie year. Midway through his rookie season he took over at the 1. I think Penny made a great point guard. Especially when he had Shaq bc then he didnt have to be the main scoring option. What could have been...
Are you crazy?! He averaged more than 20 points per game for 3 seasons after his rookie season, dumb fuck. Get your facts straight before you type something thinking you're all that.
Love the video man. My all time favorite player. Still pissed about the heat cutting him this year. Easily one of the best players ever in my book, who knows how far he wouldve gone without the injuries. This vid is a reminder of how dominant he could be without shaq, to any haters that try to say otherwise.
They just showed Game 5 on SunSports. Classic.
