      Never a champion
      Never an mvp
      Never led the league in any metric
      He was a phenom, an incredible player in every possible definition of the word.
      Teamwork issues with Shaq stopped him from being a champion
      Injuries drastically shortened his career

    Penny Hardaway was Magic Johnson 2.0, so his playing style was similar to his during his time in the NBA. He had it all as far as height, skill, vision, and an effortless style of play. He was a versatile guard who could handle the ball, pass with precision, and score from anywhere on the court. His athleticism and basketball IQ made him one of the most dynamic players of his era. In his prime, he was a force to be reckoned with, and it was heartbreaking to see injuries cut his career short. Do you think Penny and Shaq could have been as dominant as other iconic duos like Jordan and Pippen or Kobe and Shaq?

    Pre-injury Penny was really something. He definitely had a little bit of Magic in him, and I don't know that I have said that about anybody since.
    Grant Hill was another top player from that era who had his potential cut short by injury. Grant was like offensive Scottie Pippen but with more of a scorer's mentality. Not the defender Scottie was, but still. He was a great player on Detroit.

      Putting veterans in that team was a great decision by management. I think they had the players capable of winning the championship, they just needed a Phil Jackson type coach:
      C- Shaq
      PF- Horace Grant
      SF- Dennis Scott
      SG- Nick Anderson
      PG- Penny
      I think that could be a championship team.

    Penny was more than a Magic Johnson type player. His game was more like Jordan, but he had is own style. His game is what we see today. But he was fundamentally solidand could do it all. Pass, penetrate, and could shoot from damn near anywhere on the court. He had ni weakness in his game before the injuries

    When usage rate goes up, the care you have body to take for your body is so important. When shaq left he had to carry more and he had the skills to do that but his body couldn’t physically keep up cause it’s a lot more strain.

    I agree that Penny was one of the greatest players unrealized given his injuries. What stood out in this video for me was the Bulls comeback after they fell short to the Magic the year earlier (MJ was pretty rusty from his baseball days) and they just destroyed the Magic. Really shows you how incredible the Bulls were in those days and that year in particular. Yeah, Rodman was a real help, but come on... Until that year, Rodman was not know for a ton of value as much as his antics to that point

  • @lilhaxxor

    Makes you wonder how the heck did MJ survive a whole decade without major injuries. He was pushing his body hard and yet didn't break down. It's true that he hired a specialist after his first surgery, but still impressive nonetheless. If my memory is correct Hardaway had hired the same doctor MJ was using. It's also quite possible, MJ's retirement was a blessing, giving his body time to fully heal.

    "NEVER Was?" (rolls eyes) Look nah... Y'all gon quit disrespecting Mr. Penny Hardaway nah. He was such an elegant player. He dedicated his entire life to entertaining the world and this is the thanks that he gets. You cannot just wake up, roll outta bed and perform the way Mr. Hardaway did. "Never was" is such a hateful statement. I'm a '90s kid and we loooooved Mr. Hardaway. Every boy bought a pair of his shoes and wanted to be like him. I had him all over my walls, locker and binders. America put a lot of pressure on him so I know his nerves were bad. He did the best he could and we appreciate him. You get'cho ass on that court and get injured and see how you feel about it. Do not disrespect this legend like this again, hear?
