[hypnosis45]

these men took orlando to the finals but hakeems great post season play ..

you cant match up to it.
Now old and prone to injurys Penny Hardaway will now be referred as a "has-been".Shaq still has a few years in the tank but nothing close to hisprime game wise,and shape wise man hes put up some pounds

Ima true fan of Penny hardaway i got a few lil penny toys still in my room unopened so in other words,Appreciated.

Word remember when him and grant hill were in the same convo about takin jordans spot in the league?personally i see penny as a coach or somehow workingfor an organization he cant just leave basketball he had a future man.

 

[bullsrepeat3peat]

ya they both got hurt though

..... IMO they'd both probably be HOF locks by now or at least in that discussion....

but I agree I can see Penny as an assistant sometime down the road....

 

[allen3xis]

And Nick Anderson and Dennis Scott

 

[coolnificent]

They got me watching B-Ball in the first place

The First people i recognized in the NBA not named Michael Jordan...The days i first became a Shaq fan..over time up until now i got a lil more attached to theshaq/kobe duo..but it's still appreciated even though..
Shaq/Kobe>Shaq/Penny>>>>Shaq/Wade>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Shaq/Nash

 

[haveanother23]

If you guys need some games of these two let me know?

 

[srvballer]

Damn what Penny could have been

 

[indohan]

Could be better than Malone-Stockton if Shaq didn't move to Lakers.

Young Penny/Shaq was unforgettable.

It's not fun watching people you used to idolize get older.

If he hit ONE, the NBA could've been VERY different the last decade.

If Orlando won that series (and winning game 1 could've given them the momentum just like it did for Houston), Shaq might've stayed with Orlando.

 

[nyk orange and blue]

i don't think nick missing those free throws is what made shaq go to LA

he wanted to live the Hollywood lifestyle and they were offering more money than the magic at the time

 

[thekingofva]

my favorite tandem, that's what got me into watching basketball when I was young not MJ like the majority of people

 

[kt money]

Penny was, is and always will be my favorite player. I wore only Penny's throughout middle school, 1's, 2's and zoom flight 96s. Never bought anyJordans til after Nike ended the Penny line, so sad.

That whole Magic team is definitely appreciated. I don't know who remembers, but NBA Jam for Super Nintendo had cheats so you could play as certainplayers no matter what team you picked..."HOGRANT" 000000

 

[blade br0wn]

Penny fan 'til the end... So what if he's havin' another bad season...

If it wasn't for him, I probably wouldn't have ever paid attention to b-ball a a youth...

Both of them are definately appreciated...

 

[jiggajayz12469]

Def. appreciated

I rocked those champion replicas throughout middle school, were like $75 each too

. Back when the authentics were damn near $300

You're definitely right, but if they did win a Championship that year, that would've been a good reason for him to stay. He probably would'veleft anyway because of the money (and to get away from Jordan).
