Man you gotta find a better sponsor

i dont mean to be offtopic but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!

Penny deserves to be in the HOF, man I love our era so much. A lot of great NBA memories and Penny is one of them.

Still my favorite player reason i love magic and shaq of course

where did you go to school?

Yeah what school did you go to and what was your first and last name cause we're callin bluff on that one 😂

​@@Cameron_Caronu do understand someone did play against him right!!

So jealous of u😊

That's mad... 😊

I always say he was a MJ / Magic hybrid. Only player to have the rookie season followed by a Sophomore season he had. Nearly everyone suffered from a sophomore slump. nope. not him. Penny was legendary!!!

Little penny is up there with wilt I mean wilt is not too far down the side of the mountain from little penny but penny penny he's good too

Whoever overlooks this guy is completely irrelevant

Ok. Mr.lay

Could’ve been top three all time

you can lump Grant Hill in that too, B-Roy, D-Rose, even though he sorta making a little noise still.

Penny never reached his peak he got injured

That wasn’t even his peak. He wasn’t even 25 years old when he was at the top of the league. Had he actually reached his peak, he would probably be a top 10 all time player

@@jazzkyng9717 Nah Penny > Grant Hill Penny > DRose

Not Sure If He Reached His Peak. His Body Robbed Him From Reaching His Apex "IMO"👌🏿.

@Gelena Comez Same here!!! Penny Forever!

By far my favorite after Jordan’s first retirement!

Same

Penny was the 2Pac of the NBA literally😂, like you said he accomplished so much in so little time it's crazy.

Exactly, that is what I always say. If it is about a whole Carter over the Course o many years maybe bot, but some players leave such a peak in such a short period of time. That is crazy, absolutely Hall of Fame. For me the Beste Pointguard to ever play the game

I have two greatest of all time starting five teams. Penny Hardaway is my first team and that's because I grew up an Isaiah Thomas fan. However when Penny came into the league I was an instant fan. I truly enjoyed the battles he had with MJ. Especially when Penny and Shaq sent MJ home to go to the finals. It's totally disgusting how the NBA has yet to induct Penny into the Hall of Fame. Without Penny Hardaway the Orlando Magic don't make it to the finals that season. Even with a young dominant Shaq Orlando don't get past MJ without Penny. He's one of the few guards MJ couldn't contain or stop from getting 25 or 30 no matter where they played. Go back and watch the highlights of Penny vs MJ. Penny was dominant from the beginning. He didn't have to come off the bench like Kobe. He was an immediate impact for Orlando on the entire NBA.

Penny's the only player that can score like MJ and assist like Magic and J.Kidd

Me too...... All I used to say when I hopped was 1¢

Same

Hard to argue, factoring more legendary battles with Kobe, AI, T-Mac, Wade, VC, etc., even Grant Hill in the alternative universe where he is healthy too...he felt like the prototype for what the 2000s guard should be

Relax

I read about that...MJ took off the penny logo tho...lol

FACT'S

True

He was in Binghamton one of the most dangerous parts of Memphis to this day although not as bad as it used to be he grew up there

@@terryfunk6224 Thank you Terry for your reply to me. Yes it was kinda of rough in about a third of Memphis back then. I moved out of Memphis to our farm in Hardeman County in 85. I grew up in the Walnut Grove Area and went to Braircrest. I remember the News Report when they said Penny got shot in one of his feet. I believe that is what caused his Pro Career to be cut way to short. Two of the Greats that unfortunately had short NBA careers are Larry Bird and Penny.

yeah I forgot to consider that when I think about why his injury wouldn't go ahead

Penny says it was the injury where Joe Dumars hit him from behind on the knee that made him lose his burst. I don't know all his injuries and how they contributed, but the Dumars one is the one he said changed him.

@john dd Fuq you talking about? The brother played 14 seasons. Your criteria is poor anyway. Not everyone who had a long career in the NBA is HOF material. GTFOH

@@samuelmaat4148 🤫

Ron Harper always started. Had nothing to do with Penny. Harp wasn't really a point guard and didnt bring the ball up a lot (scottie/toni/mike) but he was a good defender and knew how to run the triangle. He started at guard on the lakers teams too for the same reason. Had nothing to do with matchups.

@@CEEBEE4369 Ron Harper was taken out of the starting lineup once Michael Jordan returned. Ron Harper shared the starting position with Pete Myers at shooting guard once MJ retired in 1993. After Penny Hardaway abused BJ Armstrong and Steve Kerr at the point guard position in the 1995 playoffs BJ was traded because he wanted more money than the Bulls were willing to pay him and Harper was inserted into the starting lineup the following season 95-96. YOU CAN BELIEVE WHAT YOU WANT I'm stating actual facts because I live through it. 1980 BORN!

@@nationalchampions Born in 83' and typing this from my balcony overlooking the city a block from the lake. Ron Harper started for nearly two years on the Bulls 94 and 95. Yes you are correct he came off the bench for the 17 or so games that Jordan came back to end the 95 season and the all of the playoffs. He then went on to start for the next 3 championship runs after B.J. got picked in the expansion draft by the Raptors (Bulls never traded him). And penny wasn't abusing Steve Kerr and B.J. They were never primarily responsible for Penny on defense. Watch the games again. He was giving buckets to Michael and Scottie in 95'. And then again in 96' even tho they got swept. Ron Harper never started in the 95' series against the Magic. They never attempted to "matchup" with the taller Magic backcourt. Him being inserted in the lineup in 96' was becuase B.J was gone and he complimented Michael and Scottie on defense. Had nothing to do with matchups for one team. People forget Harp was a dog (20 and 5) in LA just before he got hurt. He wasn't a bum.

😂😂Y’all funny

@@CEEBEE4369 you're out your mind! It had everything to do with matchups when Phil Jackson put Ron Harper into the starting lineup alongside Michael Jordan in 95-96. The Orlando Magics eliminated the Chicago Bulls in the 94-95 playoffs and Phil Jackson made adjustments to counter Orlando's big guards.

Great assessment. I always said that, personally. Those two gave the top tier teams trouble, especially The Bulls

Similar, but Penny has more finesse, Grant has more power. I say Penny is Kobe/Magic hybrid, while Grant is Lebron/Magic hybrid.

​@@underthebridgetroll9816Perfect analogy

Man I remember he went airborne sideways on Billy smith at white station high school . Jordan style. Billy tried to take a charge.😂 he pulled Penny out the air once he realized Penny was laid out in the air about to bam on him!😂😂

That Orlando team could have been something special. If Penny didn't get hurt and Shaq didn't leave for LA, they probably could have won several titles.

He was truly robbed of one of the all time great careers.

Me Too! And at Memphis State! He’s Memphis’s Favorite Son! As Our Coach We Will Win a National Championship! #GTG

I marvel about thar ever since. Dream backcourt of sorts - existed but not played out fully

And Young Nash and oldish KJ in the se Roster at some point with them too

Dang really. 2 great guards but rockets magic and bulls were 2 much to handle. So was Utah jazz and Suns.

@@agdolany1094 older KJ was but Nash never played with Penny n Kidd

Steve Huang Confused it then

Absolutely, Frank. Also he had such a unique way to move, somehow rhythmic and extremely fast. Is style of dunking was also kind of stylish. He was a real styler. If I had to choose my all time starting five, '96 Penny Hardaway would play on 1. ('91 MJ on 2, '96 Grant Hill on 3, Tim Duncan on 4 and 2000 Shaq 5 - unstoppable team)

n-damn-deed ✌🏿™️

They might have won 2 or 3 but it would have taken them a few yrs before it would've happened for them. Shaq really didn't hit his stride till he got to LA, penny was really good but he was no Kobe Bryant. Kobe was different animal

@@DougSalyers Kobe was not on the same level as penny. Penny knew how to play team ball. was a more efficient scorer had a faster first step and knew how to get his teammates involved. Kobe was a ballchucker who lost more games with selfishness then he won playing team ball. Those Orlando teams where light years better than the lakers team. Shaq just wasn’t ready yet and the bulls were obstacle number 1

@@alp21188 we'll have to agree to disagree on some of that. Penny played better team ball I agree, but that's about all I agree with. Penny was not as explosive as Kobe, the difference between the 2 is Kobe had that killer instinct and penny didn't. That Lakers team was stacked and there's no way the bulls would've swept that team. I agree Kobe's shoot first mentality cost them games. A lot of that time tho Kobe didn't have the best team. That's also why I said hes not as smart on the court as Jordan was. Jordan took over when he had to, Kobe did it because he wanted to. Penny was not better than Kobe

@@DougSalyers penny was just as explosive as Kobe even more so. He just didn’t do it as often because he knew there were 4 other people on the court. What killer instinct did Kobe have that penny didn’t? Define that for me? The only killer instinct Kobe has was killing the lakers. Google 2004 nba finals

Most definitely would have been better than Kobe Bryant. And he actually had 38 in game 1, although they got blown out BY 38 in that game 😂

Those Memphis/Cincinnati games were brutal. Penny is my all-time favorite hands down.

I think he's in the conversation with MJ, Lebron, Kobe

@@robertmichaeljones hard to make that comparison since we have a very small sample size of his play. He played for years but his best were early on

in Poland after finals with rockets... it was like 5am in the morning , together with my friends we were playing outside.. right after :)

The uniforms were 🔥

@@stevenpralour8496 I added some to my cart a min ago after reading your comment lol.. Gotta grab those game shorts and a penny jersey.. I really wanted to get the authentic jersey but im not rich lmao

@@mikexxxmilly your right bro I'ma get into my NBA shirts bag folks just don't know I also bangs with the purple raptor jersey with the raptor on front

@@stevenpralour8496 Hell yeah, I love the old Phoenix jerseys too

@@mikexxxmilly hell yeah phoenix, Houston, bulls, timberwolves

How is penny hardaway not a hall of famer, penny is litteraly better than 90 percent of the players in the NBA hall of fame, penny is definitely the most underated player ever

I definitely agree with you, he should be in the hall of fame
