Kobe Fan Reacts To Penny Hardaway Career Highlights 

Penny was that dude....

Penny was better than Kobe.... I love Kobe but.... I witnessed both and I would choose a healthy Penny over Kobe and D. Wade

Just to help you out. Penny didn't start to get hurt until after Shaq left for LA. His first 3 seasons with Shaq in Orlando before Shaq bolted Penny was fine. Actually Shaq was hurt for the first few months of their 3rd year together and Penny led Orlando. Orlando finished 60-22 the year the Bulls went 72-10. Also the first loss Chicago got that season was from Orlando who was led by Penny dropping 38 on the Bulls (38 on Chicago 72 win team was a big deal) and Shaq was not even playing he was hurt. That's where the drama started within the team of who is the leader with the media saying it was Penny's team and others saying it was Shaq's team. Penny's 4th season Shaq was in LA and he was still top level and an all star but by 5th year is when the injuries mounted and Orlando didn't allow him to heal properly which was no surprise. Post injury Penny on Phoenix he still had a solid year of 17/5/5 and great dunk on Robinson. His high IQ of the game is what helped him manage a long career that sadly was never as amazing as his first 4 seasons. I'm a KNicks fan back then but I loved watching Shaq and Penny. I felt they were a better duo than Kobe and Shaq by far. Penny's high IQ and passing ability to get Shaq the ball complemented his game more than Kobe I always felt. The bigger issue for Orlando was they needed a better coach and maybe 1-2 more role players off the bench. Shaq, Penny, Grant, Nick Anderson and D. Scott was a good starting 5. It would only have gotten better. I always felt if Shaq stayed in Orlando that the Bulls would have never gotten a second 3 peat because I feel by 1998 Shaq, Penny and a stronger bench would have got them. That's just my opinion though. If Orlando was still together 1999-2004 era would have been all Orlando. The Spurs would have been a threat but it would have taken time. That's about it. You take the 3 peat in LA and just replace that with Orlando and then they could have dominated well into 2005. Even Hakeem said after sweeping them that they would be a force for a decade. Sadly changed.

Kobe was great. He was the image of Jordan. Tool all his moves. Penny was his own player. He was on his way to being the next Jordan. If he just stayed healthy. He could be the goat. Penny would be the best in the world if he played today.

Mr. Penny Hardaway is a true basketball player with higher iq and eq🙂 playing fundamentals than many of the players he played with. In his game, he performed a completely basic basketball game, like an art form of basketball art in 3D space with every move. When i play basketball i play fundamental basketball like his spin moves and assist my teammate with great pleasure. In my opinion, NBA players today are missing the beauty and magic of the game. They play only to score , not to master the entire game. Big thanks to Mr. Penny Hardaway, Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, Scottie Pippen, Larry Bird, Vince Carter, Tracy Macgrady,..and all the great players for their inspiration.🙏❤️🏀🌍🚴🤸🏃🙂.

Penny was my favorite player back in the day. In the modern days, Kobe my best player.

4:52 penny was 6'7.. he did not start to get hurt until after shaq left. Like his 5 or 6th season. This is my favorite of all time. This is also tmac's favorite too. So tmac is like him, respectfully. That center you asked about is Ron Seikaly. The context is win and go to the finals. This was game 5 or 6 of that finals. Their only appearance together. B4 nick Andersons meltdown at the free throw line in the finals.

You feel Penny looks like T-Mac because Penny is T-Mac's idol

Get it right boy, Penny was B4 Kobe and T-Mac so they were like him. It took Kobe 2 years til he was good, Penny came out the gate hoopin' as a rookie.

The internets best kept secret. We need to change that

Penny only had 2 and a half seasons at his prime. I feel bad for him.

Was so proud of him being from MEMPHIS. He came in the league BALLING LIKE A VET!!!

i think what separates penny from other "great wings" is that penny had a post game with legit post moves. dont see many wings on the low block anymore.

Memphis TN Own Penny Hardaway!!

Growing up in the 90's and being from Memphis, TN Penny Hardaway was my favorite player. I wish he never had got injured during his prime.

I didn't notice he was a great in-game dunker. And young Shaq was so athletic, when he was weighed 320 lbs he was a beast. But in Lakers he got fat and weighed 350+.

If Penny would of never got injured his career would of definitely gone differently, Shaq and Penny was in the Finals against Rockets but got swept but nevertheless that was a great year for Magic Penny was the first one I ever seen or heard of being compared to MJ And yea Penny could shoot also he was a midrange shooter and shot a few 3 here n there also

This guy called Tim Hardaway, Michael Jordan. And right before that, he called Ronnie Seikaly, Christian Laettner. Lol

Penny was the only player to have the goat wear his shoes

omg! peep the sneak starbury rocking.... thats coldblooded

I’m a die heart Kobe fan, growing up in the 90’s, before Kobe, it’s was Penny, and he was a big deal in that era, with the like of Jordan.

These are only Orlando highlights. He played his last 9 nba years for PHX, NYK, and finished with Shaq in MIA.

Penny was not 6’ 9. They didn’t get over the hump because Shaq left, Penny didn’t start being hurt regularly until after.

Penny & Shaq made it to the Finals bro. Then, they split the team up when Shaq left.

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Hey man! I would love to see your reaction to Kobe Bryant's Ultimate Mixtape! His statue is about to be put up in front of staples so I think it would be great to go down memory lane with you through Kobe's mixtape

Penny was 6'7 and wasn't hurt when shaq was there smh

Penny is my favorite player but he was never 6’9”. 6’7”, mayyybe 6’8”

He was a small LeBron

Intro could be a bit shorter

He was a good player. He was always hurt. No rings. That's what I remember.

Drop step

2 much stopping and talking fam

If, if, if. What was meant to be will be bro. Also you doing a lot of talking. Play the video. Penny was 6'7 bro. Not 6'8/9

That wasn’t true penny didn’t get hurt until Shaq left get ur facts together
