One the best players to play in the nba ever it really hurt me to watch this because he was so good the boy was a beast,he could shoot,drive,dunk,pass,and played "D".But to see him always hurt and never get a ring it leaves me to wonder how much more of a player he could have been.Oh one more thing he had one of the best Nike basketball shoe line of all time
Lol funny how history repeats itself. Back then magic's big duo was the center Shaq, and the shooting guard Penny, now it's the center Dwight, and Shooting guard Carter, btw all 4 are amazing dunkers
mj has met a great rival in penny coz penny is the ultimate complete player in the history of the nba. size advantage to guards. quickness that can easily blow forwards and smarts of playing unselfish basketball plus deadly outside shooting from 3pt. range upto half court all in all his a complete package. only injuries denied the fact if a prime healthy penny could surpass mj?
u could easily say the same thing for every franchise's G.O.A.T.
it is absolutely pointless and redundant...too many ppl are always saying "wut if kobe played with magic? garnett with larry bird? tracy mcgrady an entire season? (LOL)"
none of those things will happen, and debating it is dumb...and yes, penny hardaway in his prime would be a great player today.
i loved penny hardaway back in the day this dude was my favorite player for a long time i remember when they traded him 2 phoenix and i thought jkidd and penny would be the tandem for years but penny got hurt and was never the same which sux cuz this guy was fucking cold
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I have a lot of respect for Penny Hardaway he WAS da man but now he's a sorry. Tracy McGrady will NEVER get dat sorry. TRACY MCGRADY IS BETTER THAN PENNY HARDAWAY.
I remember thinking to myself(i was like 14yrs old)uh oh is this guy better than Jordan?He was like Kobe but faster than he got hurt,who knows what would have happened. Young kids should also watch Grant Hill highlights,not the same Grant as today LOL
penny in his prime is untouchable. take mj and take off 30 pounds you'll get this hyper version plus some of the most fluid pass motions the league has ever seen. his talent was pure craftiness.
i'm not saying penny is better than jordan - i wouldn't challenge the airness on that. all i'm saying is penny was a variant of jordan that really appealed to a different crowd.
He was unbelievable in his prime, and those orlando teams with Nick Anderson, D Scott, Horace, and Shaq were fun as hell to watch. It's not easy to find someone to compare him too, maybe Lebron with 40lbs less muscle lol, maybe a taller more explosive GP without the defensive intensity, T mac with vison and a little less hops, ok i give up
Actually, he had just as much hops as T-Mac, except TMac has more reach. Check out his dunk over Ewing. Check out how he can get the ball to the top of the box before throwing down. Penny was also much quicker than TMac. He was an unbelievable player. However, one thing TMac has over Penny is his tenacity and willingness to shoot. Penny was unselfish to a fault.
basketball was at its peak in the 90's. this was back when the best players actually played for the top teams. now you got guys like kobe(who is one of the best scorers ever) whose team can't get past the first round.
It was awful to see injuries took away his career. He and Grant Hill gave NBA hope when MJ was swinging baseball bats, they could've been the top 2 players after MJ left in 98.
I was blessed to have watched Penny play a lot of college games. Don't got get about David Vaugh. He played besided Penny at Memphis. He was a great talent but he blew out his knee against Arkansas.Those were fun days in Memphis. Coach Cal has this team back on track. GO TIGERS!
I saw Penny. At that time I felt he was a worthy MJ adversary. He even took gary Payton's place in the all-nba first team, twice even. He was scary fast, scary quick. Less hate; he's just one of a generation that injuries took away.
Nike needs to retro more of his shoes!!! I had his shoes from the finals from 1995 the road black ones can't remember the name of them but they had the 1 on the back and not the 1 cent sign either. Then I had the ones from 96 or 97 as well. The black and blue ones with the blue bottoms or whatever.
I think he and Shaq didn't get along ethier. Just like the same way with Kobe. Still he's a good player, despite the injuries. His career may be over, or its probably been over.
shut up zagy that is old school cause you will never see a player like penny again back when he was good basketball in the 90s was rough and smart now its all about dunking that is old school
shut up zagy that is old school cause you will never see a player like penny again back when he was good basketball in the 90s was rough and smart now its all about dunking that is old school
next magic Johnson accept Penny had the athletic ability of a Jordan and was a better scorer than Magic was.I think he can come back and be a back up point guard and be a 15 point to 17 point scorer.
Penny was the best .. I remember watchin him back in the days his every movement was poetry...even when he was just runnin he was poetry in motion...
