Absolutely 💯. I've been saying for 20+ yrs that Prime Penny before injuries was a match up Nightmare more at the shooting guard spot. PENNY running the point guard was sorta like a grace period for defenders and he still ate well while running the offense.
Penny at this time had no more athleticism about 6 knee and ankle surgeries was basically playing off of basketball IQ and still no one could stop him let that sink in.
Lol Penny came off as a hater. "I try to win games without taking 27 shots"...where was that energy in the 99 playoffs? Who didn't get swept in the Finals? 🌝
That was his point, he was playing team ball. And his teams lost to better teams. Basketball is not track and field. Same way, AI went to the finals when his team came together, and himself began to trust the others more.
He was hater especially after his injuries he was bitter I don't blame him tho I had my own health issues that kept me from the game on a pick up game level and I was bitter I couldn't imagine how that would feel in the pros
@@jordanflores5687 That comment about not overshooting, he was saying that before the injury too while in Memphis, it was his approach. He acknowledged it as a fault to a degree, that he was passing more often than needed. But AI and Penny had mutual respect, Iverson considered Penny a problem and namedropped him among the elite guards, even after the injury. He tried the bombing approach in the first half of '01-02 and was on pace to average 20 for the year. Thing is, the coaching stuff has to tolerate shooting slumps. So after a streak of bad nights they weren't patient and benched Penny in favour of rookie Joe Johnson. When Penny returned to the lineup in '02-03, Marion had hit his prime, Marbury dominated the ball and Amare had to get touches also, so Penny settled to be a facilitator like before.
Penny all the way hope he gets hof in nba🙏
No one can really stop Penny at the 2 guard spot in this game

that season Penny was playing as a shooting guard not a point guard because he was playing with a point guard jason kidd.
