Penny Hardaway has an incredible Eastern Conference Finals Game 1 by scoring 38 points (15/21 FG) on Scottie Pippen with acrobatic layups, dunks and even a halfcourt buzzer beater. Too bad that all of his team-mates (except Shaq) didn't show up and Magic still got blown out by 38. Of course, MJ and Scottie wouldn't let this happen again as Penny struggled the rest of the series by scoring only 18 (6/15 FG), 18 again (8/24 FG) the next two games, only to come back with 28 (9/21 FG) during the last game of the sweep. May 19, 1996.

Kenny Dupree Absence of Penny and Hill led to a vacuum of selfless leadership filled by many players misapplying MJ's example as a me first dunk first win second lesson, and not understanding the game. Hence you had the Starburies. Had Penny and Hill been healthy, it would have been a more fluid transition, and arguably, LBJ and today's players (a great generation of talent, good dudes, and talent) might be even better having seen more of those two, and not having experienced their premature injury shortened careers.

Jordan never guarded the other teams best players, that's what pippen would do. Jordans defense was really when he would come to help. He couldn't really stop a great player one on one, he needed his team, bulls were a great defensive team, pippen being the best one.

@LOL-ro9ef Год назад

Thats total bullshit. Jordan guarded the other team best player in plenty of playoff matchups. he guarded Magic in 91, Drexler in 92, Tim Hardaway in 97, Reggie Miller in 98 etc. Jordan was a much better 1 on 1 defender than Pippen

@pwilson3191 11 лет назад

If only Pennys' legs wouldn't had given out on him he would have become one of the best players of his generation. He was on his way to finally developing a 3 point shot and improving his back to the basket game. He single handedly vrought the big point guard into the league(6-6+).

Actually it was Magic who brought the oversized PG into the NBA. Penny was just sort of the culmination of the trend through the 80s and into the 90s. In many ways he was a version of Pippen without the rebounding or defensive lockdown ability, but with more offense generally.
