Not prime MJ but this version of Mike was a better shooter and post up player young Mike would of gotten destroyed by Penny cause young MJ relied only on his athleticism he wouldn't be able to post Penny up or use his athleticism against Penny because Penny was long,quick and just as explosive as MJ was or more athletic off the bounce Penny look like at times he was shot out of a cannon if Penny hadn't got injured so many times he was the heir to the throne.
@@Bruhda1 he aint't messing with '90-'93 MJ either. in '92 he was posting up 6'7" Drexler. I would also say '91-'93 MJ was just as good a shooter as he shot 39% from the longer three-point line in the those three playoff title runs. Penny was never as athletic as Jordan or even more than Drexler.
@Yaya11998, Mj hounding him but Penny still had a great game he's the only player I've ever seen to give Mj problems in matchups but Mj is the G.o.a.t Penny was on his way but injuries derailed his career
Penny was damn good. Injuries kept him from the hall of fame. He had a ton of moves. Mike had all the moves though and was just smoother than everyone. No hitches in any of his movements.
Even in hindsight it was very surprising that the Bulls lost that first meeting vs the Magic in 95/96 and MJ performing the way he did after what happened in the playoffs the season before. But in typical MJ fashion he got his revenge. And then some!
Penny was weak. He was getting destroyed and even faked an injury. If you look closely at the replay his LEFT foot slightly tripped on Jordan's foot but yet Penny got confused and grabbed the right foot as if it was hurt. His right foot was nowhere near MJ's feet.
penny has got to have one of the smoothest, most fluid spin moves i have ever seen.
That's his trademark 😃
Absolutely. His spin moves were equally as vintage as his midpost game and his outside shot.
Wow! I remember watching this game. It was on a Sunday, on NBC. I was in the 7th grade.
Bro you have a hellava memory!
I was the same age lol
This game was on tbs. The game you’re referring to on nbc happened in February of that same season
MJ so respectful at the end during the interview. He had great sportsmanship in wins and in losses unlike some people we know.
Like someone who would walk off the court before the game was even over? 😂😂😂😂
@@ButtZilla 💯
The two best ever.
Penny was the man but damn Jordan did not miss
Incredible to watch
MJ wanted the challenge. Was picking up Penny full court lol it was personal
lol, check description for why he did that ;)
@@ButtZilla I just peeped lol got cooked the previous game
Mind u ..he's 10 yrs older then Penny
@@smile4me576Yeah but he was still the Goat lol!
Penny still got 26 they slowed him down but didn't completely stop him Penny was just like Mike just impossible to guard
Penny is the only player I have seen who can match up so well vs MJ in his prime.
This is not MJ ‘s prime
This is not prime jordan

@@JudgementDay8-29 Penny has a '45 inch vert to MJ '48 vert and Drexlers '46 so he not that far off athletically 🤷🏾♂️

Damn, the nostalgia!
Mike most definitely respected penny
They are buds
Excellent players. Good matchup. An experience to play against the best.
Mike was HOUNDING PENNY!

Penny was a threat
Penny giving jordan the business but of course mj came out on top.. redemption on what happened a month prior
Penny finished 5/12 for 19 points Jordan had 38 rebounds n was HOUNDING HIM
Jordan used to say stuff like
“You still need that Swoosh to sell sneakers??” 🐐
His Majesty
lol where all the jordan haters on this video compared to the last game when jordan matched up with penny?
How did Penny and Jordan have a face off when Pippin had to deal with the dude
Where was shaq
Shaq was injured. thumb injury.
Mj.vs Penny whaaat??? Mj is Legends over
Partidazos ,¿ahora donde esta la n.b.a.?
The Penny haters here didnt point out the facts that bulls had the full team roster play against the magic ... LoL
Where's Shaq?
injury
People are stupids , actual players are not locking defending as jordan used To almost the whole game.is not even close
Once MJ, incorporated that post up, he became un-un stoppable.
No-one acknowledged him
Penny was weak. He was getting destroyed and even faked an injury. If you look closely at the replay his LEFT foot slightly tripped on Jordan's foot but yet Penny got confused and grabbed the right foot as if it was hurt. His right foot was nowhere near MJ's feet.
A Theory 2 Consider 🤔🤔😂😂
Penny was that dude a nightmare for jordan and who ever else wanted at that time
@@nbagoats4819 Cap Penny went at everybody he didn't care who you were One Cent was a nightmare for any defense.
Penny hardaway is not even close Compare to Mj Sorry to say that and he look tense while Mj is having a fun playing lol..
That's not what MJ said during 96 ASG interview, in fact it was quite the opposite
@@ButtZilla right MJ looked tense and worried..
Penny wasn't getting the same calls as Mike, m.j fouled him a few times this game
excuses dude
Excuses Jordan locked his ass up
