Even post knee injury Anfernee was still a decent player. He was still better than most NBA players who were 100% healthy. Some teams didn't accept this newer version of Penny. He didn't need the money per se. Some team could've signed him to a lower salary and he could still contribute in some way.
+Joe Kidd I agree I'm 18 and live and love the Phoenix Suns been watching them since I was 10 or 11 when they last went to the playoffs but small ball was risky back then in the NBA cause everyone was to focus on a Bigman pick and roll or handoff game and having and good shooting guard like Kobe or Jordan that can kind of handle the game with a true PG but watching old games like this , this team could've went far with small ball
Joe Kidd Hardaway would definitely fit in the Lakers he could have been the Point Guard a become a more pass first point guard and let Kobe and Shaq do the scoring while Penny scores when hes needed ..
Penny was "the original Kobe". 100% Penny was just as good as Kobe. Not dissing Kobe, but *Penny had better court vision and passing skills than Kobe. BUT I would have to give Kobe the edge on 1-on-1 defense and defensive intensity.*
