That 90's magic uniform was the best
yep just imagine sporting the blue magics jackets in the mid 90s
Penny was the "Kobe" before Kobe. Respect. Injuries derailed his prime sadly. But he was cool to watch for a little while and the Penny commercials are legendary.
Not true at all.
Penny was a great but stop it!Penny on a good day will give 30 points, maybe 40.Kobe on his best day would’ve gave a team 50,60 or 70 🤣 Penny is still one of the greatest “what if” players EVER
Shaq said it. So yes, it’s true.
@@jaymoney6233 Yup, Penny is right up there with D Rose.
When people say who is your favorite player mike or penny kids was saying penny for at least a year maybe two
7:30 That was my favorite team in the 8th grade 94-95. What a time to be a teenager
I was in third grade when the magic drafted Shaq. The Shaq and Penny years were the best.
@@hieroglyphikz7132 great memories
@taahirthegreat yep I grew up in Longwood, like 15 minutes north of Orlando. Graduated from UCF and worked for the magic right out of college, was there from 2004-2014 and Nick Anderson was one of the first people to welcome me. He’s probably the nicest person I’ve ever met. I do agree, there was not a better time to be alive than the early 90’s.
@@seanslawns Great story, I can’t imagine being in Orlando or Florida during that time. Shaq and Penny and Lil Penny lol
I like that Shaq made this speech more about a celebration of excellence and giving props to a lot of people that meant a lot to him in his younger years.
Shaq is a real stand up guy, humble as ever and never thinks he's better than the next person...imagine the world if everyone had the type of heart he has....I loved seeing this
Nice classy speech by Shaq 👏
The Orlando Magic 1995 brought me to watch NBA. A few months later a guy named Michael Jordan made his comeback. It was a great time
Man! Shaq is truly a very special man! So talented but even a better human being. GOD bless him for all he has given back in inspiration and gratitud. Respect to the Diesel!
A very humble, gracious, appreciative teammate/friend, and a true definition of a class act.😎👍💯.... Congratulations Shaq-Diesel #32🏀
Let's give Dwight Howard his due too. Had a longer career in Orlando and also got them to the Finals.
nahh, he'll get his due when we remember that he deserves it.
shaq got them to the finals two? but dh did have a better magic career
He'll get it no doubt. At some point.
not today
dwight howard is a trash human shouldn't get anything retired. He went around orlando rich af and never tipped his servers.
He's so humble and great full to all that helped him get there. Best big man ever
I worked for the magic from 2004-2014. Nick was one of the first people I met during my first week and he treated me like I was an old friend. He’s one of the best people in the world, legitimately the nicest person I’ve ever met. He does deserve to have his number retired but if it took them this long for Shaq we got some waiting to do.
Penny, T-Mac, Dwight, and Nick should also be up there.
Not Nick the Brick
No.1 can't be given to two players
D.scott
D Scott over all but Nick
@@bigglilwayne7050not Dwight
Such a man! Great humility humble fun big wholesome Superman 💯💯💯💯
I love Shaq!!! He is always humble and for sure shows love to others! Its his night and he still recognizes his old teammates
Penny Was so great!!!!He would’ve been on that early 2000s All NBA First Team with Grant Hill had they never got hurt
Penny Hardaway PG. SF Grant Hill
Kobe Bryant. SG. PF Tim Duncan
C SHAQ O’Neal
Shame penny had those injuries that ended his great skills in basketball.
*Remember first it was Penny & Shaq*
The Magic should’ve kept Anderson around. They might’ve won a ring
Anderson was literally the first pick for the Orlando Magic in 1989
Penny was the "Kobe" before Kobe. Respect. Injuries derailed his prime sadly. But he was cool to watch for a little while and the Penny commercials are legendary.
@@CESAR-io6obNah. Penny was the evolution of Magic and Magic said so himself. He wasn't as tall or strong, but made up for that with his athleticism and outside shot.
No it was Shaq and C-Webb, but Orlando traded the latter for Penny
orlando needs to retire number 1 twice for both penny and mcgrady
I agree had Penny & G Hill never got injured they would’ve been on those all nba 1st or 2nd teams
What did tmac do in orlando that warrants jersey retirement? He didn’t even win a single play off series.
@@thebeesknees6896 Those teams were so bad that it's a miracle McGrady even got them to the playoffs. His 2003 season is one of the greatest individual seasons, postseason withstanding, in franchise history. T-Mac still holds the Magic record for points in a game with 62 against the Wizards and went toe to toe with the best of them while in Orlando. Grant Hill's injury prevented McGrady from having more playoff success.
Did you see who T-Mac played with? Those guys wouldn't even win 30 games without T-Mac@@thebeesknees6896
McGrady never got them out of the 1st round. He doesn’t deserve it
Great To See Real NBA Players Refer To His Teammates By Recognizing Them.
Truly awesome
Congratulations Shaquille O'Neal
Say what you want but Shaq knows how to give speeches. From his HOF induction, to Kobe’s Celebration, he has a knack for speaking. Congrats big fella
That's a lie shaq is too insignificant who lacks articulation
The Best Big Man Ever Played in thr NBA, Champion Forever 😊 .........
Hi big brother I missing you God bless you and your family thanks again
Shaq is so dope for sharing this moment with us teammates.
Nick from Simeon in Chicago, my homie for life!!!!
I’m sure if Shaq has one regret it’s not winning 1 in Orlando. Class speech and class act. Shaq is a kind and great man. Congrats sir.
Touching amazing great player
Very eloquent and classy of the big fella! 👏🏽
This year marks the 35th anniversary of the Orlando Magic.
Why is the number font not the one he played in? I know im nagging but come on Magic.
That Orlando Magics roster is one of the "what if" stories in NBA. If only Magics willing to run it back Shaq-Penny partnership by matching the Lakers numbers. They had it in their hand, and blew it because they are too money pinching. They could have return to the finals in 1998-99-00, since Jordan obviously couldn't play forever. By that time, both are in their primes.
In return Penny may not have his career derailed due to persistent injury as he doesn't need to carry the team by himself, since Shaq is there for him. There are layers of "what if" to unpack here.
Penny wasn't himself anymore by 1998. His last great games with the Magic were in the 1997 first round against the Heat.
One of my fav teams to watch when i was a kid!
Penny needs to be honored as well That Team when it split broke manny hearts i say that as a bulls fan who became a laker fan after 1998
Hope to see penny and Dwight’s jerseys up there at some point too ⭐️ 🏀
Never Dwight the nba is a bandit free zone
Orlando Magic, Hardaway & Anderson was my team on NBA JAM
I remember watching Shaq in the early magic years the magic's first Superman
nick anderson should have no 4 retired.
You can’t mention the Magics without every guy who walked up there with Shaq.
Shaq is my favorite player he should make a movie 🎥🍿 about his life
That was a really special time in basketball to me.
We not gonna talk about Dwight Howard !! Underrated and should be in the hof t- mac 2
Dwight Howard should have his number retired first. He's the most punishing force down the middle.
Lol. No. Shaq had a 53 point game in his second season and took Orlando from a 24 win team to a 41 win team in his rookie year. Howard was the better defender and rebounder. Shaq was much better at everything else. Howard did more than anyone in Orlando, but Shaq was the best player in franchise history.
- Magic season ticket holder from 1989-2003
SHAQ and Penny with the rest of the guys put The Magic on the Map. It was nice to see him celebrate his teammates. Superman with Class.
DORAEMON get up here... enjoy the moment
Howard didn’t play against a league of big men so he should have dominated and didn’t
Don’t think any of em got it 🤣
It doesn't take a lot to get your Jersey retired these day with some US Franchises. He played 4 seasons in Orlando had won 0 Championships.
Shaquiiiiiilllllllleeee O’Neal
Shaq throwing shade @ Dwight by mentioning every other player for Orlando deserving to have their jersey retired but him.
❤❤❤JESUS BLESS THEM
ALL❤❤❤AND THE ORGANIZATION ❤❤❤
Best jersey retirement speech I’ve ever seen. I’m surprised that it’s Shaq.
Congrats Shaq Diesel!
Nba and hip hop truly go hand in hand.
Protect SHAQ AT ALL COST!!!
History for this one 🎉
Shaq starting off with giving flowers to his teammates shows what the rafters will look like in a few years
Nick Anderson beast mode, go Illini.
Shaq need put aside that beef with Dwight Howard because at some point that jersey be up there also his numbers just as good and had nice run Tracy mcgrady grant hill aren't true orlando magic players draft pick wise
Nick Da Brick Anderson....thank you. A Rockets fan.
We Rockets fans agree! Thank you, Nick Anderson!
Shaq is a good lad
Those 3 other guys should be up there. The ogs of orlando!
U never see another big man like shaquille oneal
Should never have left Orlando, I loved the Magic second favorite team besides my Knicks
By making just 1 of 4 free throws in game 1 Nick Anderson would have changed the outcome of the 1995 finals, Houston would have won 4-1 instead of 4-0.
Bob Barker 🤣🤣💯🙏🏾
Tmac and Penny wore the same number. Shaq said tmac should have his retired. So that means probably no penny if tmac
Where is Horace Grant?
Right! I was thinking the same thing. Horace was part of that starting five. I’m surprised he wasn’t there.
If penny don’t have his number retired then don’t nobody need one retired
Dwight Howard deserves it definitely was the Beast of The East in his Prime. MYP caliber big . But I believe only their bigs respectfully is just what I feel 🤷
AHEM** What about Scott Skiles and no Jon Koncak?
So sad only 10% of people stayed to witness that
Everyone that he mentioned and Dwight Howard, that who needs to get their jerseys retired next.
The original magics
yet but the jordan haters try to say that the magics were out matched by the bulls because they had all the great players when the magics were clearly the most talented team during the mid 90s
There's no such thing as Jordan haters, just Jordan sack tea baggers 🥜
What about crowd ? Almost empty hall ?
Nope. Nick missed four straight ft's and Kenny Smith hit a clutch 3 to win the first game of the series and Nick was never the same. No Statue for you!
Good dude.
where's Scott skiles?
I hope the magic never retire Dwight Jersey keep the rafters bootu bandit free
correction orlando should NOT retire N.anderson # period.
Why is Orlando so late retiring jerseys?? Like are you fckn kidding me?? All the top players that came through that city and had a lot of success for them. Dwight Howard better be next.
No Horace Grant?? What happened there?
❤️🙏🏿❤️💯❤️
Shaq did not deserve this - and deep down he knows it.
As a magic fan this is stupid undeserved he was and always will be a traitor he bounced to l.a. i wont ever forget he accomplished absolutely nothing besides a rookie of the year and one finals appearance this honor should have went to someone who deserves it not a 4 year magic player who bounced and abandoned the team
Kobe would have never thanked everyone like this
how many teams will retire his number?
Shaq shpuld have mentioned Dwight Howard. How can you miss Dwight after mentioning all the others. Otherwise that was a great speech.
This should've been before LA
They should have never changed those uniforms
Thought that was gus fring
what Shaq needs to do now, put his differences aside with Dwight. there is no way Orlando's two best players of all time dont get along
Helped Shaqs FT percentage
I bet shaq would make for a better president than what we have today
If they're doing Shaq, they gotta Penny, they have to.
Got his rookie card ever since 😊
i was expecting undertaker to show up
Maybe if he hit them free throws!!!! Where’s Penny?????
Where's Penny?
Instead of lowering your standard for retiring a player's number, why not try to actually win in chip like you almost did.
First😮shaq the man tho fr
So, players will now have their jerseys retired simply for being popular with a particular team?
WHY Are Any of these Guys getting a Jersey Retired?? Did ANY of them Play for Orlando Longer than 6 Seasons?? Have a Tragic early Career ending injury?? NOPE! Love Penny but Not even Him. They didn't stay long enough or win a Championship!!
We want penny!!!!!!
