Penny my favorite athlete of all-time. I'm waiting for somebody to upload a pre-injured Penny after Shaq was traded to Lakers. He has one of the most insane foot works I've ever seen.
This! You cant find that compilation anywhere. The year he put the Magic on his back, ran through the playoffs (averaging 40+ in a league that STILL played defense) became player of the century. He was a force of nature that year. Better than Kobe, Shaq, Pippen, Hill, everybody. Microfracture surgery snipered his career after that season. He was on his way to becoming the indisputable GOAT. It's like that year never happened because you can find no footage of it 😒. #NeverForget
@@greatero absolutely 💯 I remember that in real time . PRIME PENNY was a match up nightmare. ESPECIALLY with his lethal midpost game he gave prime pippen , Grant Hill ,and other guards including Jordan fits. Penny came into the league being able to consistently knock down pull up 3point shots from the original longer range before it shortened 2yrs , along with his IQ he was an extrodinary passer and crafty enough ball handler to dominate from both guard spots. His posters dunks and Lobs were at such ease while they made ESPN weekly before injuries .
@@greatomeister675 You mean hard work beating injuries... Kobe was not better than Penny, Hill, or McGrady. Their ceiling was higher but misfortune struck.
If Penny had never got injured he would have been the second best player of all time or even close to Jordan as 1! I love how he moved, assisted, and dunked, awesome Penny.
For all those saying Penny wasn't washed up yet. He injured his knee in '97 I believe, before he left the Magic. Anything after that was no longer him in his prime. It's a shame. He had the potential to be as good as Jordan, maybe even better. I even liked him more than Jordan when they were both still playing. The Magic were a constant force during the Shaq-Penny era.
MistaWordz exactly!👍.. (before he left)..exactly👍 u can tell he wasn't the same. Just still remnants of how good he was. But almost had me fooled cause he looked reallyyy.. good here. But athleticism was CLEARLY gone. I remembered (THAT). Injury took him out of the mentions of "greats". For sure if not injured... championship ...ssss.. Shaq left cause of Pennys shine... and (clear) journey to greatness... that was the real beef! He was craz..zzz..zy Skilled with (FLASH QUICKNESS)...And...(EVERYTHING ELSE).
he definitely wasnt as good as young jordan by a few miles if not more. but he was far more fundamentally sounded player entering the league compared to kobe. the most important thing is he is a team oriented player, unlike kobe. he would have been something as great as kobe or lebron for sure had he not injured himself
He was the total package and better than Jordan was overall in his first few years. Jordan was the most aggresive player driving to the basket and around the paint, but Penny had the post-up game (rare for a guard) that Jordan didn't have, so he was more difficult to guard. Jordan's team game and IQ didn't look to be anywhere as high as Penny's either. Penny was on track to be a better overall player than MJ, and not only individually but a great team player and a guy who would direct a team's offense like classic PGs do. Kobe, MacGrady, etc none of these guys were as good. Penny could score at will with the best of them, he just wasn't that player on the Magic's offense, they had that dump-it-to Shaq game. Penny after 96 had visually lost athletic ability and played with knee pain until he had to have surgeries that effectively killed any remaining quickness he had. Don't be fooled by the Jordan GOAT hype, Penny was on track to be better overall player, not just a scorer.
I still think penny would have taken over the league if he never got injured regardless of Kobe he was in a class of his own had his own style of playing original and unstoppable.
Of course, Penny was playing with a chip on his shoulder. Great for him. Love Penny. He and Kobe are my favorite players of all time. I watched 30 for 30: This Magic Moment, and I feel like the Orlando team needed some veteran players on that squad to toughen them up. These guys were just getting started when Shaq went over to LA. Man I remember those days...
I thought Penny was a better shooter, passer, and ball handler than Kobe. I was a huge Penny Hardaway fan. I watched his college games, him in the movie Blue Chips and his early days in Orlando. Even his shoes were so bad ass I went out and bought a pair. I feel the thing that’s least mentioned is his maturity and leadership in his early days with Orlando. I remember in an interview he said that when Shaq is fouled hard or ganged up on, he wants to take the pressure off of him. It’s a sad story to what could have been, but then again it’s become a great story of what he made out of it and where he is now.
Penny was probably the most talented player whose career was destroyed by injuries...Upon entry into the NBA, he was touted as a "more-athletic version of Magic Johnson" and his first 3 seasons before injuries were electric.
I always felt penny would have been the one they compared to Jordan had it not been for injury but unlike Kobe not because of his obsession with copying everything about Jordan down to even the way he talks and does interviews lol but because of his talent and skill and play style in his own unique way. When you look a penny at his peak before the injury there was nothing about the way he played that mimicked Jordan yet it was still unstoppable. Too bad we couldn't se what he actually would have become.
you can see he has not much athleticism left but he's still able to dominate the game just the same. absolutely no doubt he would have been an all time great if it were not for the injuries
Big Penny fan here. Before him it was Bird. I watched Penny go 13 for 13 from the field in the first half when he played for Memphis and I was hooked. I owened 3 bird Jerseys and 2 penny at one point. He would've been top 5 all time if he wasn't plagued with injuries.
The great players look smooth and create time for themselves. Penny showing he had all the time in the world vs the best and that he would've been a great SG as well as PG.
Both Penny Hardaway and Grant Hill deserve to be in the top 20 greatest nba players debate. They both deserve to be in the nba hall of fame. In their healthy prime both were better than Kobe until injury rob them of their full potential. Man what couldve been.
Bavinh Pham Are you serious? You think Grant Hill and Penny's Hardaway in their prime could mess with Kobe in his prime? In what universe; Kobe owned the NBA for a decade 2000-2010 and should have won athlete of the decade. Still can't believe they gave the award to a NASCAR driver!
Not taking anything away from Kobe but I wouldn't say he owned the decade. that decade consisted of Kobe not even being the best player on his own team until 5 years in, not winning an MVP until 7 years in, 2 two guys that one multiple scoring titles before he won his first and 2 guy that won more mvps then him in that same decade. js
Michael Land I do actually i have seen all 3. Theres no way Kobe had more talent than both Hill & Hardaway. Like i said the latter 2 were cursed by career ending injuries so we will never know how good they couldve been.
Niggas act like less athleticism equals washed up. Basketball is a cerebral game! Penny was beating the defenders (often not Kobe as he was the help D in a bunch of these clips) with sound one on one plays and good up fakes in traffic. At this point he was what, 6 or 7 years in the league? Penny was always a smart player, but he leaned on IQ more when his athleticism left.
Washed Up? How old are you? If it weren't for his knee injury, Penny would easily be a top 5 player in todays NBA. The same could be said for Grant Hill to a lesser extent...
you trolling right now. Did Penny ever average 35.4 pts, score 81, win even 1 championship at all, his team or not, and have the greatest work ethic in NBA history? gtfoh low life loser.
Man, that was really crazy... the amount of talent on the same position like that 2000 suns is just unbelievable. I know Penny was injured and kinda old and KJ was old, but even like that... These days young bloods have no idea about KJ, he was a beast.
Either that or well….IDK build an actual championship roster…dare iSay “showtime” squad around such a dynamic point god. It’s kinda insulting having Ron Sielky, Nick Anderson & Horace Grant in these highlights…meanwhile, how many super teams have LeBron, KD, Kyrie even Russ have had the luxury of load management
Jason Kid bleach blonde hair??!! Penny Hardaway turning back the clock in Phoenix against his old team mate Shaq and the heir apparent Kobe Bryant??!! This is so surreal....almost like looking at an episode of the twilight zone.....LOL!!!!

OMG Kevin Johnson, Jason Kidd, and Penny Hardaway played together! And before that I think it was Steve Nash, KJ, and Kidd. Suns had awesome PGs back then. Awesome!
penny was great and kobe just becoming his full form but 21 ppg 3 rpg 3apg as your lowest playoff averages aint bad! ESPECIALLY when you give kobe credit for not hijacking the offense to stat pad like lebron.
I just see here some plays that Penny scored on Kobe, anybody can score on someone when they got good sense. But for the whole game or the whole career, I would take Kobe over Penny with no hesitation
People don't realize how good penny and grant hill was! Kobe had it easy he didn't have to go up against them the way he should have! Damn injuries!!!!!! It would be a different Kobe we would have talking about...
Not long after Hardaway left Orlando Iverson was starting to own the Magic though, I remember Magic playing Sixers in the playoffs probably just before Penny left Iverson was killing them.
Penny was virtually playing on one leg at this time and was still an excellent player
To me Penny is an all time great.
