Penny Hardaway interview with Peter Vecsey (January 1996, NBC Sports)

A nice interview on Penny Hardaway where he talks about his place in the league, his future ambitions, his duels with Jordan and his all-around skills. Conducted by the legendary sports reporter, Peter Vecsey, and featured on January 1996 in halftime of a game between the Orlando Magic and the Houston Rockets. Hope you enjoy.
Thanks to the now disappeared "Hardwood & Hoops" channel for the original and full footage of the game.

my one and only all time favorite player Penny Hardaway period.

Before the injuries he was the best.

[@LarrySwishamane]

there might be deeper darker & more criminal plot to his career than just his injuries.
When just sit back think about it, ESPECIALLY FOR SOMEONE HAILED AS THE NEXT Magic Johnson....it would a been a pretty good idea to supply him w/ a SHOWTIME roster at some point, right? Just looking at these highlights comparing to what the superstars today its kinda clear. The luxury of the Kyries, Hardens, KDs & Russ's can bounce from 1 organization fulla superstars to another 1.....fulla superstars!!!

@@LarrySwishamane Penny didn't wanna join the Illuminati. So they gave his stardom to the next in line, Kobe. Just saying.

[@ManeeVaughn]

Penny was humble as always. He had that Kawhi Leonard demeanor.
