If Penny Hardaway didn't get injured, you're talking about a top 15 player of all time. If he stayed healthy and won a few rings, he'd be legit in the discussion of all time great PG's, and top 10 all time players. The man's game was for real. If you're from the generation that saw him play during these years, you won't forget how phenomenal Penny was.
jumpnam i think they should of made Penny a hall of famer. He would of been better than kobe in my opinion if it wasn't for the injuries.
Agreed
Penny cannot win a ring without Shaq...
@TheRealist 811 Grant Hill though ;)
TheRealist 811-I THINK UR ALSO FORGETTING ABOUT THAT YUNG, SUPER ANKLE-BREAKING, CORN ROLL CHANGING, TATTOO ROCKING, HALF THUG, HALF MACHINE WHOM SINGLE-HANDILY BROUGHT THA' BLACKTOP TO THA' PROS IN THA' 90$ LIKE NONE OTHER NICKNAMED, "A.I." A.K.A "THA' ANSWER"!!! NOW, HE WAS A POPULAR PROBLEM FOR MANY BACK THEN, W/ TOP-LEVEL SKILLS AZ WELL!!!
Three things
1. Jordan the GOAT
2. Penny was something special
3. Damn why Shaq left the Magic
Man Penny was probably my second favorite player back then in the 90's aside from Mike. Everybody at that time were either rocking a Jordan jersey or a Penny. A lot of kids today think he was "just another scrub" from the 90's just bc they try so hard to discredit MJ's competition. But when he was healthy he was far from that. In his 4 first yrs he was already a 3x all star, 3x all-NBA (2x first team). Also came in 3rd in the MVP race in just his 3rd yr, guys like Kobe and Wade (who are both great) took about 6 yrs to be in the MVP discussion. Dude would've easily been one of the greats, if only real life sports can be like the video games where you can turn off the injuries.
Penny in today's open NBA would be insane with the level of skill and talent he had they'd have zero answers for him.
Penny was a damn fool widdit ✌
aaaah man. Well said/written✌🏿
Eazy 👍
Yea your wire penny is a good guy I met him and real life
Jordan fade away the most beautiful, picturesque, shot I've ever seen! Never gets old seeing it!
True
YEP!!! ALONG W/ PENNY'S UP-N-UNDER MOVE & REVERSE LAY-UPS THAT HE HAD PERFECTED AGAINST THA' ROCKETS IN THA' FINALS THA' SEASON BEFORE THIS ONE SHOWN IN THIS VID.... ALONG W/KAREEM SKY-HOOKING 'EM, DR.J.'S DUNKS & REVERSES, DOMINIQUE'S TOMAHAWK SLAMS, DAMN NEAR ALL OF SHAWN KEMPS DUNKS, SHAQ'S DUNKS & FACIAL EXPRESSIONS WHILE DOING SO, & OF COURSE PRIME V.C. DUNKS MAINLY OF THA' 90$-00S ERAS!!! ALL VERY POSTERISH SH!T RIGHT THERE!!!!
MJ is da GOAT. But man, after coming back from retirement, nobody really pushed MJ the his limit like Penny did. Always wonder what he could have achieved without those terrible injuries.
Pisses me off whenever people say Penny wasn't anything special. If it hadn't been for injuries, he would've been a top 3 player for sure. Even Michael Jordan (the GOAT) said in an interview with Dr. J that if he were to choose who he would pass the torch to, it would have been Penny.
Are u high?? Top 3 mean he wouldve had a better career than Magic,Bird, Kobe,Duncan,Shaq, Wilt, Hakeem and many more players I didn't bother to mention. Sorry but hell no top 25 all time is enough
@@elbowgang9715 Did I say he IS a top 3 player? No. Key word is IF. His career was cut short due to injuries in 97... only 3 years into the NBA and he was already stacking accolades. And yeah you're right. Top 3 means he wouldve had a better career than those that you mentioned but we won't know since he never even reached his prime! In my opinion, he would have been a top 3
If that statement was made after 1996 it was a lie. Jordan ultimately knew that Kobe was the dude, but Kobe came along later. All I know is...both Penny and Kobe were better than LeBron’s overrated ass.
They had better shooting ability, were stronger mentally, were not afraid of the big moments, and played both ends if the floor - even in crunch-time. They were better distributors, too. 😒😏
LeBron is all power.
Stephen May : He had that kind of ability, but he would have needed to be in the right organizational situation.
Let’s keep it real, Jordan, Magic, Kareem, Wilt, Bird, Kobe, Shaq, TD, Hakeem, and Oscar won not because they were more skilled than Penny (or Grant hill or T-Mac). They had greater success because they had surrounding casts and organizations that took care of them.
If not for Pippen, Harper, Kukoch, and Rodman, , Jordan might never have gotten a ring.
Its the same with
Magic: Kareem, Worthy, McAdoo, Wilkes, Cooper, et al.;
Bird: McHake, DJ, Parrish, Ainge, Walton, Maxwell, et al.;
Wilt: West, Baylor, Goodrich, et al.;
Kobe: Shaq, E-Jones, Horry, Fisher, Fox, Odom, et al.;
So people can laugh, but there are about 12 players who could easily have been top-10 if not for injuries or circumstances.
KG
Barkley
Isiah
David Robinson
Penny
Grant Hill
T-Mac
Dominique
Alex English
Bernard King
KD (he won’t be when he retires)
Dr. J (he’s right on the cusp anyways)
i had this game on tape. i wouldnt call jordan totally outplaying penny.
i remember this game so well because it was one of the games that jordan didn't play all that well. he missed a tons of shots and i remember the anxious feeling of magic beating them again in the playoff when i watched this. highlight is deceptive when it comes to the overall performance in an actual game.
regardless. penny was great. i would never buy into the argument that kobe was more talented as a young player vs penny. my reason is that he showed very promising fundamental skill of bball that kobe didn't have in his early days ( some of those kobe actually never learn in his entire career). i watched all the games the bulls faced the magics in those years and hardaway always gave pippen a hard time on offense. pippen in 95-98 were most definitely in far better shape than he was from 99-02 as defender.
it is unfortunate that hardaway's career was so short.
I love Penny's fundamentally sound game.....not trying to be fancy or forcing shots......in fact he suppose to take the torch from Mike but Penny being modest he said he just wanna be himself.
popeyeisgood 👍
it is true. penny in 94-97 was very mature as a play maker that can also score big if needed with full understanding of the flow of the game. unlike those ball hogs we see today who have to dribbling 20 secs before shooting or dishing it out to teammates. compared to wing players(guard/forward) that were as big or taller than jordan with enough skill and athleticism to compete against him, hardaway might be a bit lacking in jumping ability compared to drexler or wilkins but in terms of ball handling and laterally quickness he was ahead of both. no doubt he was never as strong as even the younger version of jordan but he could definitely be seen as a combo of jordan and magic at the time. i would even say that his combination of skill/iq/athleticism at that time was only matched by jordan/pip/ grant hill until kobe entered the nba( who i think was talented but not sensational like rookie jordan or mature like rookie penny).
personally i think grant hill has a more all rounded game with a smoother handling. but penny was more clutch and had more flare when it comes to play making both great players that really could have been as accomplished as kobe/lebron or even more so.
JPLMONEY23 I feel you, but what Kobe lacked in athleticism or fundamentals, he more than made up for with his legendary work ethic. That being said, it would’ve been awesome to watch Kobe and a healthy Penny go at it!
MJ clearly outplayed Penny.
The way Ben Simmons plays now if Penny was in this Era he would DESTROY any point guard that tries to guard him
Na penny could actually shoot
Ben who?
Penny was slick with the handle, take anyone off dribble, finish better than anyone not named Jordan, Iverson, or Bryant... But hit you with the step back J because you had to respect all facets of his game... You name dropped Ben fucking Simmons... GTFOH!
I’m pretty sure he means penny would destroy lol
If Ben played in the 90’s he would got shot down by muscles before he start driving the ball lol
These are two the best players during that time,, Michael Jordan and Penny Hardaway.
Dang!!!! The NBA was much more exciting back then.
That was to be a hall of famer Penny hardaway before the injury. I belive if shaq neverleft penny wouldn't have gotten hurt. Penny would have some rings instead of kobe
Oh absolutely
Kobe would have more championships if he never got hurt
Penny got hurt in the 96 playoffs against the Detroit Pistons when Shaq was still with the team. He suffered a meniscus tear. From April 96 to November 96 the meniscus tear was ignored for 7 months. Penny's injury is very similar to Brandon Roy's, both had meniscus tear and their knees and ended up having cartilage damage.
No No No!!! No one really could guard Penny in that era!! Penny was not that aggressive player that was the bummer.. He played very effectively and was efficient.. Jordan still the best, but Penny is very underrated. Remember after Air Jordan, there was Air Penny by Nike.
Penny was basically, Pippen's body, Magic's vision, Jordan's agility with great allround offensive skill. Could have ended Bulls Dynasty with Shaq without the injury.
not really
@@jakelang806 Yeah he was. He was really good.
I think if Horace didn't get injured in the 96 playoffs magic might've won... I know a big might've but yeah if shaq and penny stay together they getting some rings
@@JBMUSICEXP Nah, Bulls would have just won in 6 instead of 4. The bulls were not losing that year to nobody. Penny was great but as long as MJ was around they weren't winning. They would have been competing against the Heat and Pacers for second best in the conference.
What if Tracy McGrady trade went through with the Bulls for Pippen in 98?
You can easily tell this was a harder fought, hard played game than most in this current regular season era. People say today's game is more skilled. That's absolutely false.. nba players today can display more athleticism because they aren't getting pounded, hand checked, powered up in the post, or beaten up as much driving to the lane/paint as during the pre-2000s era NBA. In today's nba, basically any hard foul is a technical or a flagrant.. back then it would have been just a normal foul.
What a game it use to be. For the sake of open 3’s and empty paint, the nba has neutered itself in exchange for high scoring easier offensive gameplay.
Preview of the Eastern Conference Finals that year
just stop.'open threes empty paint' such rubbish. Its this simple players now can actually shoot the basketball and are way way waay more talented
Chasing Greatness or perhaps it was the rule changes that took place. I mean we’re not making this stuff up. You make it seem like I’m the first person to talk about this lol
And way more talented? The game has degraded and the league is watered down with mediocrity. I guess objective analysis isn’t your forte.
Gmoney Mozart u should stop watching nba 😂😂😂😂. this is the prime of nba and u r saying it has degraded .
naveen Chaturvedi no one would agree with you. The entire sports world disagrees with you.
penny would've been 1 of the greats if not for his injury!
JORDAN SAID PENNY WAS THE BEST PLAYER HE EVER WENT UP AGAINST!!! NOT MAGIC NOT BIRD NOT BARKLEY NOT THOMAS!!!! BUT PENNY HARDAWAY!!!!
Michael Jordan's observation on talent has always been suspect, facts..look it up, can't take his word on that matter, although penny is a top player, but I would not put him over Magic Johnson, ever
Mark Floors He’s not judging talent. He’s played against them. That’s totally different than watching college basketball and picking players.
If penny’s knee never caused problems he would be in conversation today with Jordan and Kobe
This is the real NBA game that I really miss!!
The young man Penny was the thruth. If not for those injuries might be saying he was the GOAT. He could have been a pure point guard first and/or a score first. His ball handle was smooth as silk he could get to anywhere on the court.
Penny would have never been the goat as long as jordan played lol
I’m back in 2019 saying this , if Shaq stayed with penny. Kobe wouldn’t have 5 rings .
The caption on the video is misleading. Jordan didn’t outplayed Penny. It was a close game.
Penny was special but Michael was otherworldly. Precise and effortless. I would've loved to see Penny and Kobe - I think the latter's sheer fire and desire would've taken the crown from the albeit formidable Hardaway for second-place at the 2-guard spot
Honestly man I get excited to wake-up, check my phone and see your latest upload....Keep them coming!!
Man penny hardaway was to me very underrated
Thanks for this vid. I forgot how good Anfernee Hardaway was. It's too bad injuries derailed his career, because he was a very talented point guard.
Sorry guy penny did not get out played
Yup. Jordan 🐐. Shaq one of the 🐐s
Yeah, dude that posted was lying. i knew it wasn't the case but just wanted to watch anyway.
I was looking for this, lmao Jordan didn’t check Penny at all throughout the game, and when Penny did check Mike he didn’t score or passed it off, Penny didn’t get outplayed, but the Bulls did win the game
Um yeah he did
Not at all!!
MJ at his peak in skill and IQ, Penny only in his third year but this was after knee problems which started a few months earlier, which would totally derail his career. Penny's lethal quickness, not as evident as in the previous 2 seasons. MJ's older here but still 100% healthy and at his shooting peak using that fadeaway jumpshot. Bulls coached by the best coach in the game. Magic, young team coached by coach nobody. Penny 6 assists. MJ 1 assist... We would've surely seen a different result had the Magic hired a proper coach.
MJ shooting peak was in 98, but 96 was the pinnacle of his game its where his experience and athleticism combined for him to be the most lethal basketball player to ever step on a court.
@@Vortexxmcsggames now imagine how good Penny Hardaway reaching that same pinnacle injury free would have been.. only a 2nd year player here he's giving 'pinnacle Jordan' a run for his money with a better stat line.. not difficult to imagine at this pace within a short few seasons Penny would have surpassed Michael Jordan in just about every way.
@@Mario-re2qp Dreams are nice but come back to reality. Defensively alone Jordan was light years ahead of Penny.
@@Mario-re2qp penny definitely would of been better than kobe
Penny's knee problems started in the 96 playoffs against Detroit. He was fully healthy in this game.
Damn, hate Nick Anderson's 4 x free throw. Penny without injury is the closest to Jordan.
Awe...the good ole'days of the NBA.
😂😂😂 I could swear I just felt the earth shake beneath me in 2020 from that Shaq 5:09 monster slam.
One of my favorites, surprised I hadn’t seen this. No words needed as to why Penny is one of my all time favs.
2:22 Penny blows by Pippen then lays it in past Rodman. I mean. Ya'll know how crazy that is? LOL
Who said 90's are weak? This showdown is more remarkable than lbj vs kobe...penny gave jordan headache...his too good, and dominated every game
Penny most underrated all time...he woulda been on d wades level
way better all around than D wade
He was way better than Wade, way better
Penny without a doubt was better than wade and he had the best commercials to date
You're kidding right?
GabrielMcIntyre idk about way better but he was good
I'LL TAKE PENNY AND SHAQ OVER KOBE AND SHAQ ANY DAY.
Then you are stupid and don't win rings
Kobe and Gausol did tho
Big faCtz
@@aldinewestfield5821 without jordan bulls standing in their way
@Yemi but what about after that.... last time I checked.... they got swept by the bulls when they were in position again to win it all.
I agree with u to a certain extent but kobe & shaq was a devastating combo u can't deny that.....they took the heart out of most opponents on a daily basis..
The tenacity of the bulls defense is insane... they were everywhere
Penny Still did his thang MJ just had 1 more bucket and 1 more steal Penny is a GREAT
Hardaway played better,6 assists
4:37 That was amazing!
Penny and Shaq. Shame they did'nt get a championship ring together at Orlando.
@Gag 88 blame Shaq for leaving
Yea if shaq hadn’t left they had potential to beat the bulls
@@yaboiblue904 potential ? LMAO swept they got swept, an athletic penny and shaq .. would have never beaten the bulls
they only beat them the year before because mj wasnt in his full basketball form after a 21 months retirement
the only team that could have beaten the bulls was the 98 pacers coached by bird
but miller got away with that hard push against mj in game 4 to get a clean look for the 3pt attempt otherwise series never go 7
@@Onslaught0830 They clearly had the potential. As a matter fact I would go as far and say had Penny fully recovered from his knee injury Orlando would have beaten Chicago in 98. There is a lot things that happened in between 94-96, and why as talented a team they were always got swept in the playoffs. For one Brian Hill was a terrible coach, coaching was the reason they got swept by Houston in the 95 finals. Against Bulls in the ECF they still had a crappy coach and Horace Grant got injured who would have dealt with Dennis Rodman.
@@owainkanaway8345 they may had it, but still would not have beaten jordan and his bulls...it was a sweep back then, with a full healthly orlando team they may win 2 games...jordan was on a mission and another level that year.
like the 98 pacers, took them to 7, anyway just because millers push on jordan in game 4 for a clean 3pt look, ... still couldnt beat jordan and his bulls.
if this or that, series against orlando would have also gone to 6 or may 7 at its worst
Sorry but hardaway outplayed Jordan
PeNNy my favorite player my first jersey my brother had Jordan I had PeNNy he been dunking on everything can dribble hops the shot and defense and can pass the ball they put Jordan out the playoffs.... Look at PeNNy top 40 plays u will C
Nawww ... MJ out played Nick Anderson ... Penny was PG Nick was the SG. It was more about Nick who was from Chicago vs MJ.
Two of my all time favorite players...
Penny還沒受傷前，真的是超強的
There were 10 players who gave MJ fits:
Penny
Kobe
Magic
GP
Bird
Rodman

Bernard King

I would take KOBE BRYANT over PENNY any time.
96 Bulls including playoffs 87 wins 13 losses and the ring. Yeah the 96 Bulls is the greatest season ever not the 73-9 warriors with no ring to show for it.
I’m a huge Jordan and Pippen fan, but Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway-
6’7 Point Guard
Dribble, pass, shoot, post up, explosive hops, fundamental game, willing passer to all teammates, very smooth, Air Penny(dope a** shoes) beautiful game!
Gave Jordan and Pippen hell alot on the court. He and Grant Hill were probably the smoothest ball handlers at that time. Both had crossver dribbles even though GHill’s was nastier, ask Mj and Pip but both could take on those two individually. Bulls when healthy.......well you know the rest! Watch Penny in high school clips, college clips and then pros right here on UA-cam. Ridiculous!!!!!
What separates MJ and Penny's careers is MJ more athletic, more durable, more clutch and played better defense.
meg good analysis n MJ but what I was talking about was the skillful Hardaway. You have to go and watch his highlights/games. He was a hybrid!
@@meg-k-waldren Penny was just as athletic as MJ, keep in mind this was his 3rd year as a pro. If Penny stayed healthy he would have prevented Jordan from getting another 3-peat for sure. The injury Penny suffered (cartilage damage on his left knee) would have crippled anyone including MJ. The sad thing is Penny's injury could have been avoided, he could have recovered from that knee injury, but management in Orlando did not take Penny's knee injury seriously. When MJ got injured in 86, Jerry Krause and Jerry Reinsdorf
made sure MJ was fully healthy before playing again. Penny did not get that same treatment from Orlando. It was really management that broke up that Orlando squad. The difference between Orlando and Chicago was really management.
*He outplayed Nick Anderson
favorive penny hardaway match up
Penny had more assists, therefore was more efficient. Points negated each other. Penny outplayed MJ in the end.
Jordan went berserk in this game
Nobody outplays anybody get over it, i only see great individual skills from the 2 best one on one player of the 90's.
Who said Jordan played in soft era???!!!!😂
same idiot to say bill russel play in soft era
Yeah man those guys is blind haha
Two of the greatest basketball not the same anymore these days
4:36 , 6:50 ! oh my god ! i just love MJ and PENNY , and HILL too
Now that was a game .... Scotty said hardaway was the hardest to guard
penny uno de mis ídolos
Penny would have been on Jordan level even Jordan said he was next after him and magic because he was like both of them in one!
I’d like to know if the woman with the “Old Gray Air ain’t what he used to be” sign was banned from the O-Rena after that November meeting. The Bulls would never lose to Orlando again after that(MJ Era). 15-0 from 96-98.
His midrange is wet
3:27 Penny Hardaway good defence
Jordan’s shot was a beauty I could watch it all day he was the best player I’ve ever seen had a swag abt him like I’ll drop 50 and talk shit
I bet you do love his "swag" . i bet you wanted to be just like him
That was a he'll of a game I miss those days!!!
LOL at title. MJ OUTPLAYED PENNY!!!!OMFG!!!!
Dude, he scored 2 more points on 7 more shots.
Are you really surprised though, look at his channel name 😂😂🤷🏽♂️
I keep reading comments saying people have written Penny off as a scrub. I’ve never in my life ever heard anyone call Penny a scrub or “nothing special”, not even online. Not sure what y’all are talking about. I have heard some people say his Stan’s overrate him a bit but that’s the worse.
Penny was better he didn’t have a team it was just him shaq and grant the rest were bums who would sometimes have a good game the bulls were better than Magic’s but penny/Jordan I would say was a lot closer than some people think penny gave him and pip hell
Great era, when shaq was just a very good player among others....
I'd take young healthy penny over kobe and bron anyday of the week. he was better than both of them.. and if he didn't get injured he's in goat talks
Games be rigged. You can't even touch Jordan without a foul, even after he made the damn shot.
Shaq looks criminally under utilized in this vid...
Remember grant got injured had grant not gotten hurt i still believe the magic would have beaten the bulls
Penny gave Jordan fits. He had mad game...like a cross between Jordan, Magic and Reggie Miller.
Too bad Penny played so little at this level(
Michael Jordan in penny hardaway pretty cool tennis shoes in million dollar nike deals
Offensively MJ beat an entire team by himself
man what happen to games like this
The best of that era guard wise
a rare game, thank you!
filpan Not that rare at all, it was from 1996, featured the top 2 teams in the East and was nationally televised.
Pippen got 🔥 vs Grant and Penny in the 90’s
@ 0:45 normal foul in these days. Possibly thrown out of game nowadays
Jordan penny best of the best ..
4:37
🐐
Loving this one thanks for sharing very important information giving thanks blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
04:36 Holy shit....
💜💜💜💜 second best pg ever...penny
Shaq is not giving so much effort in this series. They look so disoriented most likely he really wants out of orlando.
I miss penny ....
those box stats are in Penny's favor. there were honestly many more matchups that went this way between penny and jordan than not, jordan didn't like it at all lol. and bulls had a good defense and magic's defense sucked horribly outside of shaq and penny. not to mention phil jackson as coach against a horrible magic coach. jordan had an easier time and still got lower stats in the box score, this video just shows way more jordan's plays. that is why i dislike their later matchups though.. and that is what most jordan highlight people have to resort to for their "matchup" highlights now. bottom line.. these two are legendary.. if you seriously look at it, these are probably the top two players as far as years prime of this era. kind of like the durant and lebron of the last era. who is it going to be now in the nba? anthony davis, post injury durant, and giannis? maybe james in that mix too even.
look. like the first 2 shots by jordan in this highlight aren't even contested, and later on also, hardaway created his own chances against one of the best defensive teams of all time in these 90's bulls. and he would still outperform jordan much more of the time, when these two matched up. shit, if this team would have kept shaq they would have won more than the 3 titles shaq got in LA. and taken one more from the bulls at least! historically significant for the truth of these guys, even with no bench, in orlando. penny and shaq. and shaq was better in orlando than LA also, defensively, athletically, and with more dunks/blocks. and I live an hour outside of LA and am trained to be a Lakers fan and am, but I will contest anyone who saw that era and says otherwise.
Brian Hill should have been fired after Orlando lost to the Rockets in the 95 finals. The biggest problem with Orlando in the mid-90s was there head coach, Don Nelson would have been perfect coach for Orlando.
@@owainkanaway8345 yes for sure. that is another major benefit the bulls had over the magic. good coaches are so underrated. and Brian hill was AWFUL lol. makes penny superior box scores when he played jordan even more impressive really. it is what ate jordan up inside and why he tried to pants penny and stuff. the truth is not happy for m. best coach, best defensive team, best teammate superstars, best role players.... ESPN product back when it was still building up
@@bboliver725 By the end of the 96 season, no one in the Orlando roster respected Brian Hill according to Shaq. It's pretty obvious coaching was the problem, in the 1996 playoffs against the Bulls Orlando had most of their players standing around the perimeter and just waiting for Shaq to get doubled-team so they can get a open shot. They tried to make Grant a jump shooter, when he should be near the rim trying to outbox Dennis Rodman. They weren't playing structured basketball. All Orlando needed was a coach to get them over the hump, unfortunately Shaq left and Penny got injured.
everybody agreed they wanna wear elbow bands also what is sakuragi doing in there?
i saw pip guarding penny not mj. so mj had to not worry about defense. not impressed
ethan drexel -. Guess what dumbass? Penny = Point Forward. Pippen = Point Forward. Same size. Same position. Guess who defends who in that situation?
Considering that sports media today tries to justify LBJ never playing defense at all because he's tired, Gus's you must think he's pathetic then, right? Lol.
Ignorance is so rampant in America today.
Cero Z - kids like you are such dumbasses, it's laughable. Today's players? Lol. You mean today's midgets? Today's players are nobody. What is your point?
The reality is today game is twice as easy. Nobody can stand in the paint on defense. Nobody can touch you. No hand check. No forearm on the body. Do you thinKs coring is so much higher today for no reason? Lol. Do you not see the countless videos of former players explains home has easier it is today and how MJ would average 50 today? Nobody can stop anybody today from getting to the hoop with no bigs in the paint - so your point is what?
And if you're suggesting today's players are better, keep trying, lol. You have 3 or 4 true superstars and the rest are over inflated little guards. Jordan would shutdown anybody today at the guard or SF position.
Idiots like you seem to think because of know nothing about basketball from MJ's era, that it's not as good. That's laughable. The reality is that you just know nothing about basketball. That's obvious form your moronic post.
Boogie just because you are correct doesnt mean you have to get nasty with the less informed...have some compassion.
He had injuries that end his career penny was cold
All this talk about scottie being such a good defender but yet Grant Hill and Penny were COOKING his ass back then, AND its just a coincidence that both of those players are very comparable to players of this Gen, so NO scottie wouldn't have been as good a defender against today's players as people seem to think
Penny was so FUCKING GOOD MAN!! That dude would have been in the discussion for top 5 p.g of all time.
