interesting analysis on your part here. I had never considered the fact that if Penny had developed an outside shot, he would have saved himself much pounding from defenders.
AndreaBaixinho Hell yea man. I got to put a lot of it on his Era though. Guys just didn't think that way then. Being the man meant you could drive at will and be athletic and strong. Fly high like MJ. These new guys learned from that maybe subconsciously or on purpose and are having longer careers for the most part. Wish DROSE learned that. Penny was on path to being something vicious. Really enjoyed researching him. He was amazing!
AndreaBaixinho he did develop an outside shot look at the rest of career with his injuries after word all did was shoot from the outside .
What's even sadder was, he actually developed a better outside shot during his years with phoenix, but injuries kept piling up on him smh
Brad Benning That’s was my point he shot better after his knee surgery later in his career .
Stunted Growth I remember having coaches that specifically would call us soft for taking to many jumpers and to take the ball to the basket. So you’re not lying.
Bro, penny was an all around savage! He was one of the few that gave Jordan a "WTF" face, Injuries were the only reason That his career ended prematurely.
@James Robert its another way of being in or having a shocked facial expression.
He’s the only guard who had me looking at MJ crazy. Like MJ could do anything with him.
Facts!!
the only player in NBA to have Jordan wear HIS shoes
That's the only player I can remember coming in the league with a complete game
Penny, DRose,and Grant Hill are the 3 biggest what ifs I can remember.
Dwight howard too
Never saw him play only know the tragic story.
Hank Gatherers and Reggie Lewis could be put in the same grouping
@@llmic23 they not stunted growth they did awesome and died of heart attacks not drugs or injuries so that's not stunted growth really
@@bronxbully6261 not same as Penny same as Len Bais
Penny Hardaway Derrick Rose both played for the University of Memphis (Penny Memphis St) Penny wore #25 D rose #23 both wore #1 in the NBA both had unprecedented success early in they professional career (penny leading Orlando to the finals in his 2nd year,D rose winning mvp in his third) both suffered devastating knee injuries before even hitting their prime and both are two of the biggest what if's in NBA history...
4glorysake 1988 Wow that's nice! All facts bro salute 💯
and to add to it d.rose currently wears number 25
ElijahHead0526 Drose Wore number 25 in high school also !
@@tsogosamanthony8854 he wore 23. It was clearly stated.
Those are the 2 best PGs in history to me "" I would start my franchise off with those 2 guys """
I feel so bad for Penny... 😫
He should have been the One
Ian Castro Facts. Dude was truly special man
IDC what no one says when it comes to Penny. You can't talk bad about him around me lol. He my All Time Favorite NBA Player Hands Down. #TeamPenny
My favorite too but he has a good point man I really over looked all this even though I knew I didn’t want to accept it but he’s right
@@domenciobenson3100 I respect it because JC really know his shit
He was one of mine too. He was such a dawg.
💯x💯 That “Penny wasn’t a good shooter” was nothing but blasphemy. Distinctive remember him being pretty clutch with the shot clock winding down & his patented follow thru. But, with hindsight being 20/20 & reliving some of these ol career highlights….iCan see now, what may contributed to stunted growth. literally.
Muscle mass. iNever realized how extremely thin he was. Especially for player with his capabilities & nature athleticism. I would’ve love to see him seen build more muscle tissue & able to operate to the likes of luka, harden, ant-man…or if not by those means,
Imagine if he ended up becoming a spur? And solid load management?
Penny was the truth, MJ even recognized him! Unfortunately injuries got in his way!!!🏀
Penny Hardaway...star on the rise and had a ton of potential until he got hurt in the 1996 playoffs and never recovered from injuries through the years...glad penny's doing fine and well in Memphis..salute and respect....
I loved Penny's passes! He had special vision
AndreaBaixinho Crazy vision. Truly Magic like. There may never be another. Ben Simmons comes close. Doesn't get the respect he deserves though.
Amazing passer alien like
@@stuntedgrowth Ben Simmons can't even fuckin' shoot, and Penny threw dimes on the regular. Don't compare Simmons 2 Penny.
I don't know man I remember Penny having a good jumper, complete overall offensive game, unstoppable post moves and only second to Jamal Crawford as far as a big guard with the best handles. The season after Shaq left, during the Heat playoff series he went crazy and dropped 2-3 40 point+ back-to-back games to try and avoided elimination - with no additional help. Next season, he added weight, didn't change his jumping biomechanics, got injured and boom that ends an automatic HOF career. I also remember Shaq was always was and still is jealous of Penny's success. What's weird is he always tries to downplay how nice Penny was. Even mentioned he hated the Little Penny doll on an episode of Open Court and also said Payton was the best PG of the 90's. Shaq's revisionist history. Interesting since he referenced Penny wasn't ready when he was admittedly intimidated by The Dream in the finals. The only time he wasn't jealous of another star was D. Wade because he himself was on the decline.
Exactly.
Couldn't agree more. Penny had a good enough jumper that you couldn't sag off of him, so to me, his stunt really is all about the knee injury. It's a shame people forget how great he was. I believe he was 1st team all NBA in his third year, which is quite an accomplishment. I also remember his midrange was pretty good, and you also have to remember that people weren't really shooting threes then like they do now, so he didn't really need to develop that range at that point in his career. As I mentioned before, his stunt really is about the knee. Without that, he goes to the HOF, no question
he should go to HOF anyway but i am wearing fan glasses. and Penny was 1st team all nba already in his second year@@elliemyers6435
Penny had a great jumper. He shot 52% in his prime. He didn't have great range out to 3 point land, however. I think the author here argues he should have developed this. I argue that he never had a chance because injuries derailed him. It wasn't from weae and tear
Whoever labels Penny Hardaway a bust is crazy and knows nothing about basketball
Lol who has ever said Penny is a bust
Uh Shaq admitted that it was all his fault... He apologized to Penny on a 30/30 ESPN...
W C He also said on Oprah master class that the reason he left was because he didn't feel the support from penny when it was his time to get his money, which led him to getting in his feelings about penny. He knew the team told penny it was his team and penny was shading his calls and not communicating with him and having his back in meetings so he bounced. He apologized to penny because he got emotional and should've just reached out harder to penny. But penny imo was being shady. Shaq was just being the bigger man apologizing.
Stunted Growth I love Shaq like the next man... But Shaq was really jealous of penny remember the sneaker wars(Nike vs Reebok)... Shaq was making commercials and all... Penny was the point so it’s his team to run on the court... Shaq had an issue everywhere he went... But respect for this channel I love it🤞🏾
@@stuntedgrowth that account of how things went is all according to Shaq and you know Shaq has a tendency to remember things to his benefit. I.e. "I never had any beef with Kobe it was all marketing." Most people have always known Penny to be a stand-up guy just kind of quiet. Now I enjoy the video but to save it Penny only played well when Shaq was there... in 95-96 Shaq was injured half the year and penny made first team all-nba
Speaking up and telling the front office what they should do doesnt fit Penny's personality. If it wasnt for the Chris Rock doll Penny wouldn't have said a peep in the 90's
@@stuntedgrowth U don't know wtf U talking about, Shaq got hurt and Penny had 2 carry the team by himself and balled out. Shaq got jealous because everybody was saying Penny was the most important player on the team, plus Shaq got his ass handed 2 him by Hakeem N the Finals so idk where U heard that.
Penny is my all time favorite player! I emulated him on the court every chance I got! You have to think, slashing and dashing since high school will take it's toll. This video all made since when you mentioned D. Rose. Slashing and dashing is taxing on the body! Especially those knees!
Penny BALLED out man, like a super nova. I was born in 86 and man 10 year old me remembers how dope penny was.
Lol same here. As a kid I was no where near an actual fan like I am today. I pretty much only knew the Spurs, cus I'm from SA, and Jordan and Shaq. When Jordan retired, I remember this Penny guy, everyone was thinking he was gonna be the new face of the NBA! Loved little Penny
Penny was a killer man. I remember when he missed that entire season came back for the All-star game and never saw action again after that 😂😂😂😭😭😭😭💀💀💀💀💀⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️ shit was wild. He played a role in the changes in AllStar voting....then Iverson made it official the season he got mad votes in 2008-09 when he barely played 😭😭😂😂😭💀💀💀⚰️⚰️⚰️!
Mannnn shaq left because he was mad about Alonzo contract in Miami and Orlando didnt want pay him more. He wanted to be the highest paid center. He even admitted that he let his ego get in the way and him and penny maybe couldve won a championship
Penny had a decent J smh. And driving wasn’t his go to posting up was his go to. Getting injured is just unfortunate part of playing sports. And his injury now days would of got taking care of differently since medical has come a long way. U ever seen scars from the 90s? Lol
Lol penny did not have a decent jumper thats why he barely took any during his career
BallinBoxer u either lazy or was born in the late 90s. What’s sad you’re on youtube ain’t nothing but a click away
@@shhmatdelski8386 did he take a lot of jumpers? Or lets put it this way, did he shoot enough jumpers? Cause if you don't answer no then youre just a delusional penny fan that foes around insulting everyone that doesnt agree with you. Youre not the only dude that watches ball
BallinBoxer he shot the ball decent his game didn’t depend on shooting 6 threes a game he posted up being 6’7. He shot enough jumpers to be all nba his second yr. Just because some random guy on TH-cam who make videos don’t actually make it true. I watched penny live shit he had one of the coldest moves with that reverse pivot stepback j against the heat . Like I said don’t be lazy TH-cam has full games of the 90s magic. You nonessential you have time to check for yourself.
@@shhmatdelski8386 see, you avoiding the question. Did he shoot enough js? No. If he did, he would have relied less on drives and post ups which in turn would have given him 3-4 more healthy nba seasons.
Penny did have an outside shot. I watched penny pretty closely as a young teen back then. Reason he was hard to defend. Questionable stunt
Crazy video, JC. A disappointment, a bust? What? Whoever said that wasn't around to see him play and damn sure doesn't know the game of basketball!!!
Shawn Kemp, you gotta profile. Once the NBA strike hit, he ballooned in weight and took up a drug habit.
Next up should be Grant Hill.
He has a story on Grant
Nice breakdown! I believe it was the era Penny played in was the reason for him not shooting more from the outside. The number of 3's being shot when Penny played wasn't as high as today. it was like 4-5 guys shooting 500+ 3's in those times now a days it's 20 or more players shooting that many I believe the number of players 6'10 or taller that can knock down 3's is way higher than Penny Era also.
If penny never got injured he be top 5 easily
Penny's post game was ignorant. It was waaay under-rated.
I’ve been following this channel for some time now and I must say that the basketball analysis is unparalleled and is by far the best that I’ve seen on TH-cam. It honestly amazes me that you don’t have millions of subscribers because every video is so great. Shoutout to you man and keep it up 💯
Much appreciated fam. I put a lot into these, but I love it regardless. Messages like these give a shot in the arm 💯
Fire series
Penny was a decent shooter. The most skilled player to EVER enter the league.
Ya right Kobe is
Penny had a Jumper but during that time a jumper especially was a three was a huge bonus. I agree with Dame. Dude my fave PG.
Penny the GOAT. Don't argue with me. 🤷🏽♂️
I agree!
Penny was special, we need a Eddie Jones vid! Not too much info on him
Nyrie Irving Jamal Mashburn as well
Penny had some of the best signature player shoes of all time. The Penny’s were 🔥
They still🔥 2nd most popular selling shoe behind Jordans.
Penny should be a hall of famer nmw no question. Anyone born in the 80s most likely penny was they're favorite player and a class act in reality.
Hands down my favorite player of all time
Feel like if Dame ever had a stunted growth, it would be spending his career in Portland. I love my Blazers, but the fact is that team has a hard time attracting stars since no one ever wants to play for the Blazers or live in Portland. Feel like Dame could already have a title by now if he played for a different team that attracts more stars. Still Dame will probably go down as the best Blazer ever.
Agreed,,, living in Portland has to be worst then living in Milwaukee and Cleveland as a professional athlete and Dame is staying loyal to a small market that no stars nor talent wants to join
Bill Walton won a title in Portland, Dame has to win one to be the best Blazer ever, imo
@@blakekohls6457 You can make a case for Clyde being the second best behind Bill
Throwing on my eggplant foams and that Phoenix all star jersey
BigLorde BunnyRabbit 🔥🔥
Penny is and will always be the truth. That microfracture surgery is no joke. He has been blessed, i dont know if he is stunted growth or not because he seems to be doing pretty well....Great segment💯
Absolutely. Would've been a great player. Life was kind to him either way.
Excellent video and analysis. Penny may be my all time 2nd fav player behind Scottie Pippen and it still breaks my heart to this day thinking about where Penny's career would have went if he didn't get hurt. Great video again.
Penny did have a jumpshot i grew up in Memphis and saw him play first hand he had a smooth jumpshot he rarely missed but he was so athletic and skilled that he didnt really use it cause everytime he drove to the basket he was unstoppable and that gunshot in the same leg he had injuries and contributed to those leg and knee problems people dont know he was balling out with that bullet still in his foot at least pieces of it but he came in the league he was still unstoppable Mj hadnt even never witnessed another guard that was as elite as him also when Joe dumars knee went into the back of that same leg messed his leg up it was quite a few factors.
Penny!!!! Oh man. So sad injuries wrecked his career.
I see you getting sponsored now. You make great videos. Salute✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
I deserve a shout out I told you to do penny hardaway next😂😂😂😂😂
bronx bully salute to you man💯 really enjoyed this feature.
@@stuntedgrowth thanks bro iam glad you finally decided to do penny I never seen nobody bust scottie and pippen you know what like penny that back to the basket move he had where he would go left to right right to left with his back turned use to give them fits i could emulate Iverson crossover play bully ball like Rodman shot the corner 3 like ray allen but I could never emulate that penny move and I never seen nobody else do it quite like him
Penny is one of the Greatest PG's the league has ever seen... Truly he was an athletic Magic Johnson type player, if injuries didn't occur he would be getting more respect from people. To me one of the best.
1st nba jersey I ever picked out was a black penny Hardaway (champion used to make the jerseys back my day 😉) in Jr high school,
One of the best PGS ever seen quiet as kept "" yeah the injuries played a part in stunting his legacy"" but he was played out of position cause of his height "" some nights he played the SF position to fill that need when 3D got tired "" the rotation of that team was off but they still made it to the finals and lost cause of Hakeem """ if they would have won that series he would've been first ballot HOF "" then he turned around and beat Mike after coming out of retirement "" Definitely will always be and underrated superstar """
He was a better shooter than people gave him respect for """
Anfernee hardaway was so flashy and explosive! And his footwork was crazy. So fun to watch
Good video but there is a few points I completely disagree with. I seriously doubt Penny "undervalued shaq's importance to the team" for one that really contradicts Penny's personality, also find an interview where Penny talks about the pick up games while filming Blue Chips and he will break it down for you. And it's well documented by Shaq himself that HE NOT PENNY was the one overly concerned with the world's perception on if Orlando was considered Shaqs or Pennys team. That and the Magic front office lowballing Shaq at contract time is why he left for LA. Also saying Penny shouldve developed a 3 Ball with his driving like Dame and Steph while using his poor 3pt % as a point for the argument is being biased to the game today. ON BALL GUARDS DID NOT SHOOT CONTESTED 3's IN THE 90's. Reggie Miller arguably the greatest 3 point shooter ever only took about 6 a game and he never was the primary ball handler guys like Westbrook today take 10 a game and he is a terrible 3 pt shooter . So that argument made absolutely no sense at all. And penny never got any where close to his late prime years where guys cut from the same athletic cloth developed a jump shot. guys like J.Kidd and D wade had that opportunity and extended theyre productivity into their 30's. Pennys career was done at 26. And Pennys half court game was post up 1st, Penny driving and playmaking was the fail safe option for the best Orlando teams. The driving came from the open court Penny was DYNAMIC on the fast break.
This was truly on point and great... If there is ever a Honorary NBA Hall of Fame Penny will and should be first ballot
His total contribution to basketball will earn him a trip to the HOF in about 10-20 years.
thats too late! i hope far earlier, its not like he quit on the game instead he really made the best out of it. Especially money cough cough
RIP to penny lil man lorenz Wright he would be a great stunted growth as well
Nice piece. Penny was my second favorite player after Jordan. It’s a shame youngn’s don’t really know him. As far a stunt 2 you got to remember that 1.) the entire league really didn’t shoot the 3 like that and 2.) He was a true PG and probably should have really horned those SG skills, but when you have Shaq on the block, D Scott/Nick Anderson on the wings your job is to set the table. Looking forward to Lawrence Moten next.
Excellent points. He really was a true PG, and he shot the ball well enough to keep defenders honest. In Orl, he had two snipers in DScott and Nick Anderson, so he always had space to operate, and as you pointed out, the league wasn't as three crazy then as it is now. His stunt really is about the knee injuries and nothing more. Had he never gotten hurt, he would be in the Hall of Fame.
Penny is a hofer now. It's the bball hall..HS Poy, college all American. Multiple allstars, all NBA. 1st team all NBA his 2nd year. Also Olympic gold. His jumper was good, he was ahead of his time..micro surgery was it for him, believe he was the 1st to have that surgery. I think you're reviewing his game in the NBA now. Tmac game was more perimeter than penny, but he also got the micro surgery, even gilbert he was basically dame b4 we knew who dame was..he had the micro, career was done after that..
PENNY averaged 27,7 and 5 w/ a winning record when Shaq was injured during the 1st part of the 96 season,so saying that Shaq made easier for Penny is pure stupidity.. Not to mention he's Jumper was wet,it was just a different era,different game.
Woooaahhh I saw Andy Hoops in the beginning of the video! That is also my favorite along with you.
One of my top 3 favorite players growing. The other being Grant Hill and Hakeem Olajuwon(H-town born and raised die hard Rockets fan).
If you recall during Shaq’s last year in Orlando 95-96, he was out for a large part of the first month of that season due a to a broken thumb he got in the preseason against the Miami Heat. Due the time he was out, Penny went on a tear and think that may played a part in him not fighting harder for Shaq to come back. He was probably thinking “If the big fella comes back. Cool. If not I got this.”
James Robert I’m talking about his last year when he left. Penny was still in college in 92-93. Him and Shaq hadn’t teamed up yet.
Great shows, Penny Hardaway probably would have went to the Final Four at Memphis State if he would have been eligible his freshman year, his High School teammate from Treadwell HS Elliott Perry was the senior point guard on that team and was a solid NBA player..if Perry and Hardaway would've teamed up at Memphis State things would be different🏀
This is a great video! Perhaps your most insightful! Love it
my all time fave Penny
Air Penny Had some of the Flyest Kicks hands Down🔥🙌💯
He did.
I wish him and Kidd played a full season with the Suns
so much.... i remember this season so well being so disappointed with them playing only 25 games together or so. should have been 250..... Penny had a great farewell year in 1999/2000 and i am so thankful i got to witness this since i had no chance during mid-90s
I voted for Jason Gardner in the poll btw... even though I would also love a JamesOn Curry video!
AndreaBaixinho You got it!
Bro are crazy penny could shoot the ball no he wasn't a shooter but he had a nice mid-range shoot plus a turnaround post shoot as well and could make the 3pt go look at his college highlights
This was great video again. However, I blame it all on the knee injury. I thought Penny's jumper was good enough it kept people honest and defenders had to play him. When we talking jumper are talking Steph Curry or Jason Kidd in the later part of his career? His knee just could not hold up. Phoenix Penny was hard to guard and gave a Kobe and Shaq LA all they could handle. I don't know his knee just couldn't hold up in my humble opinion. Bruh, I really am enjoying your video's great work. I would like to know what happened to Cory Alexander and Jason Gardner.
Another Banger Bro...but im curious you think him not developing a jump shot hurt him but he had shooters around him (3 D and Nick weren't bad from the outside) also he came in the leauge he wanted to be like Magic he beat Mike and thought he was top dog
He had an ok jumper, he just wasn't a good enough deep ball shooter to where he trusted it, and he didn't shoot enough. The era he was in had some to do with it though. Him having those shooters even more made him have to drive and make plays for them to shoot. Those guys couldn't make their own plays consistently to win games. Penny had to do all that for them.
With all due respect the outside shot thing is way off with the exception of three's which weren't taken like they are now. He always had a nice mid range, which opened up his drives. That's why he was so deadly, plus a quick feet. A lot of his drives were passes so I wouldn't say so much driving crushed him like Dywane Wade or Rose. I could agree with overloading though, and coming back from injury before he's ready. He's always more of "what if" based on early severe injury. So if his body held up as long as Jordan and Kobe he would've evolved like they did. I will agree about having Shaq from the start helped. I never thought of that.
Yup. That's what I said. He didn't have or shoot much of the deep ball. Even driving to pass takes a toll on you and he had to a lot with those shooters around him who weren't creators themselves. Dame crosses half and pulls almost half his attempted game shots. That or they run a high play for him right at the top of the key and there is no creating anything. Just rise up off one, two screens. Penny had a cool shot/mid range. He even had an ok 3(even though his stats confirm he was a poor 3 shooter) but he didn't use it enough and a lot of that was his Era. I mentioned that. Salute.
@@stuntedgrowth Point taken using Dame. Can't argue any of that. Salute!
@@stuntedgrowth U flip-floppin' now, either he had a jumper and a 3 or he didn't. Make ur mind up mane.
Definitely a superstar
Channel is on 🔥 my guy! I don't always agree with you but you back up your analysis very well and I respect that! You deserve all the success coming your way!
Welcome to Pennytown 〽️
Penny was unstoppable. Ask Pippen.
I agree with what you said about Dame. He is also my favorite player.
Still my favorite player!!
Good video, I didn't expect to see Penny here but I understand the video.
One of my favorites players all time even try to pattern my game after him and others
Penny was my favorite player as a kid. I wish the Magic had beaten the Rockets in the finals. Im a Warriors fan though, i was so excited we drafted him, then he was immediately traded...
People forget he was shot in the his foot in college, and played and put more pressure on the none injured leg , with caused his knee to wear out quicker.
“Been frying PG” lmao facts 🤣
THAT`S MY BOY
One of my Favorite players pre injury💯💯
Man I remember when they used to play in the pyramid before the Grizzles moved to Memphis
"The tomb of doom" I remember 😁😁😁
Cory Alexander would be a tough one 🔥
love your videos keep it up
Penny's shoes were so popular at my school growing up. I always wanted them but never got then I did get shawn Kemps shoes thats year
Good video. Interesting take on Penny. Penny is a few years older than me, so I've began hearing of him in the late 80s as a high school basketball superstar in the making. He would mentioned along with some Chicago high school basketball legends, in particular with Jamie Brandon, from King H. S. here. He was ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING in high school and most certainly at MSU and early nba years. As you mentioned, I would never doubt his work ethic, but, I'm wondering exactly how strong was he physically for the longer haul. Being from Chicago, I saw MJ and Scottie at the genesis of their careers. For them and some others, you could observe that they really put a lot into their bodies and them seemingly getting stronger. I mean and know this isn't a tell-all sign for everybody. But, at the onset of their respective careers, Penny and Scottie had similar body dynamics, yet Scottie was pretty strong with what seemed to be a narrow body frame. If I'm not mistaken, he and MJ really took the strength and conditioning aspect seriously. I just wonder did Penny take that part of the game as serious as he did being a driving playmaker. I would call him "Puny" while rooting for him except when he played the Bulls. But, your right with the "j" assessment as well. Maybe it's possible that getting shot damaged his muscles, nerves and etc more than we'll ever know. I said all that to say that this was a pretty good video on Penny "Puny😆" Hardaway. May the Creator and the Ancestors give him the relevant understanding to guide those he's now coaching and around to become positive vessels for themselves and those that they come in contact with on and most importantly off and away from the court💪🏿
Yup. He was weak all around. Smooth, but I don't think he took the weight room that serious.
@@stuntedgrowth yea ur a millennial 2, I thought U knew what U were talking about but U proved U know very little.
I loved Corey Alexander and Jason Gardner!!
I’d love to see your take on these ballers:
Kendal Marshall
Isaiah Rider
Aaron Brooks
Damon Stoudemire(Dude was mad Nice)
Chauncey Billups(He’s more of a Growth Spurt Mr Bigshot is My Fav PG)
Salute to you
Not only does having a jump shot help you not get pounded, but even when you DO drive, they have to respect the shot so it gives you more space leading to less bruising.
Lillard doesn't compare to penny. Penny was 6'7 jumping out the gym
Ppl really don't understand from a pure skill perspective Dame is legit 1 of the best PGs ever. Dude is legendary already future hofer for sure.
I remember he compared the 3 guards to GodFather.
Penny - was Frado/ not ready
Kobe - Sunny/ was trying to take over when it was not his time
Wade- Michael/ Let it come to.him.
@James Robert Yes Frado, 1995 championship it was his time to shine but fumbled the ball, like when Frado went to the supermarket with his dad and he fumbling his gun dropped it while his dad got shot. Then he fought for Orlando not to pay Shaq his money which caused Shaq to be traded,. Just like in Godfather 2 Frado almost had Michael killed because he wanted to try to run things in the organization.
@James Robert At what point, this came from Shaq Mouth, who played with all 3 players does this make him the same?
@@SinserNarmah537 if I'm not mistaken it was Shaq that got served by Hakeem, Penny didn't get used like that.
@@MackMainSupreme You do remember correctly but penny only avenged 15pts 5 ast and 5 Reb that series against kenny smith😩. Shaq numbers were nice but The Dream out shined
@@SinserNarmah537 Hakeem basically neutralized Shaq N the post and sent Shaq home crying on the team bus.
I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American. So, I know all too painfully, "Michael Jordan/Sam Bowie." Add "Kevin Durant/Greg Oden." But as much as, from 1993-1996, I could have said "Penny Hardaway/Shawn Bradley," that is NOWHERE near as terrible as Jordan or even Durant. Bradley was solid, even if not a superstar. Bradley was NOT a bust. He played longer than Bowie and Oden (not that Bowie and Oden didn't do their best--they did). But, Penny, with his own injuries, fell off after 2001, and unfortunately, didn't turn out to be Jordan (well, who has), or even Durant. I remember in 1999, I was SO hoping those rumors about Penny Hardaway being traded to Portland would have come true.
Shaq wasn't ready to be the man. Even then, Kobe got them over the hump. Penny takes over the Finals and they def at least don't get swept.
Sometimes people forget he and Jason Kidd when actually both healthy and in a game at the same time were a solid combo for the Suns
Do Devin Ebanks. Thank You
one of my fav players...those commercials and kicks tho...sigh
You must didnt see Penny in the 90's talking about he aint have no jumper it was pretty dam good to me especially in clutch.

HEY STUNTED GROWTH WHAT ABOUT JIMMY JACKSON HE WAS COLD
At 9:26 when he says Shaq was asked what it was like to play with 3 superstar guards like "penny, d wade & kobe"?& Shaq said "1 wasn't ready, 1 wanted it too much and 1 was just right".. If penny wasn't ready, I think both d wade and Kobe both wanted it too much and both were just right.. That's just my opinion.. I grew up watching all these ballers in the 90s.. What a beautiful era..
Definitely would've been nice if he and Shaq could've played alongside each other longer. I think after MJ retired in 98 they could've have a chance to win a title or two.
Great video bro , You should do one for my guy Kendall Marshall
With all due respect...penny would give Damien 70
No Sir
