Penny Hardaway VS Grant Hill Face-off Round 1 G1 1996 Playoffs 

Those 2, injuries free, would have been the 21st century version of Magic and Bird...

My two favorite players of all time.

For 15 years I have been wanting to see this game

Crazy how career ending injury of anfernee Hardaway happened I the game vs grant hill. Two biggest what if players of all time. Irony

This is best defense I ever seen played on Penny, Penny missed shots but it was great matchup. I've seen Penny post up power fowards and score, maybe he over psyched himself with matchup but this how you tell if you great when you go at somebody just as good as you both ends. Today you really dont get that.

Is it bad to say if I could go back in time I would go to this game and run out on the court (right before the hit to the back of the knee) only to get arrested by security JUST so this incident may not have happened 😂🥴

The best guarding one another...

Wow I don’t think at the time I realized this was the beginning of Penny being hurt because I though he played well in 96-97 season and of course the 2 40 point back to back games in those 1 round playoffs against Miami

Yo!! Grant Hill!!! ALL DAY!

This was the game where the injuries first started ... :(

Two of my fav all time players

This game is just sad man. U can just tell by his face during the interview.

I know penny described this incident as the point when it all happened, but does anyone notice that he’s already wearing those knee bands in this game? Maybe they were already feeling creaky?

His body frame and skinny legs were his early nba demise...nothing else, he just didnt loved it no more. Not everybody is for the long haul only a few MJ, Lebron, Duncan etc.

Pennnnnnnnnnnnny, This upload is just fantastic my friend. Thanks.

A dream match up.

So this is the game where the dreaded knee injury took place.

Man unlike how you put their signature shoe up👍🏾. I grew up during an era when every star pro athlete had a sneaker.

We need game 2 and 3.

What a shame both had to deal wit injuries and couldn't show their true potential.

Grant Hill is more superior than Penny Hardaway because of his hard defense and unpredictable easy offense.....

Your favorite player favorite player PENNY HARDAWAY

If you look closely at that replay you will realize that it was intentional, Dumars did it deliberately.

Is this the game, someone has the full game

Remember this game..sad

These 2 greats can give Kobe a great battles.

Both Penny and Grant were phenomenal players but Penny was just different from other players but not taking anything away from G.Hill he was cold too but Penny was slightly more explosive quicker and shifty Penny had that extra bounce💪🏾

This is why I don't talk about players sitting games people forget how many players we lost early because of injuries

If this didn’t happen would they have beaten the Bulls again with Penny fully healthy?

This was the series where dumars knee'd penny in the back of the knee which led to his chronic knee problems. F dumars for that
