Penny Hardaway Was PURE MAGIC! 1994-95 Season Highlights | GOAT SZN 

Facts

With a 3 point shot.

@@RocketmanXO Jordan was a good three point shooter

He had the playmaking ability of Magic and scoring ability of Jordan. How many players you know is a combination of that?

@Ta-Kuan Fuan Look at his volum in the years where when the line was the reguler line 👌 Keep in mind that most of Jordan 3s in the 80s were half court last secend flings 🥱👌😎

Which one was more athletic?

Stop

@@clydetheglidetop5sgtop10du7 That's a tough call: Penny was in the MJ mode-slim, quick and slithery, whereas Grant was stronger, bigger, like Lebron, but still quick. Both could jump out of the gym.

@@andrewbrown3410 a friend of mine said "being there are so many freak athletes Hill would be avg. athletically in today's game" as well as "Jordan wouldn't even be one of the most athletic players today" the ignorance is baffling

@@clydetheglidetop5sgtop10du7 Video doesn't lie. Besides, what sets the truly great apart from the rest is how they USE their athleticism. Grant Hill, MJ, Penny... all those guys were also cerebral and utilized an economy of motion and decisiveness that complemented their physical abilities. Dominique Wilkins, arguably was at least as athletic as MJ, but didn't quite match him on the intangibles.

His first two years with Phoenix was good he average 17ppg in 1999-2000 2000-2001

On everything I love man so true

@Alexander Melnikov nah, 95-96 was Penny's best season overall.

I was thinking the same shit or even the 96-97 season, he was a lil bit more improved just right before the injuries

Max will make the 95-96 season too I think

Agree

He finished top 10 in MVP voting the 94-95 season.

Who would you say was more athletic between Penny and Grant?

@@clydetheglidetop5sgtop10du7 Grant was more athletic, probably jumped higher and was stronger. Penny was more skilled.

Penny was faster and was way more explosive than Grant😂💯Grant had a prime kawhi leonard on the dunking side penny was sum else doe👌🏾💯

Penny is a hall of famer it's just a matter of time when he gets inducted

I'm sick of the what if crap shit is getting old

Great post. Started the video and that aspect of his game is rarely highlighted but so impressive. It’s a shame he couldn’t gave a long career mostly healthy but what he gave the fans those early years was special.

I feel the same way my brother, everybody was on Jordan's dick at the time but penny was my mvp he could do everything Jordan can and more . And remember he came into the league playing like this

I feel you it’s an opinion but take away MJ and it’s not the same. This era got so many more overall dynamic players. Bron, Curry, Giannis, Luka Irving KD etc. homer comment but I’m excited for ANT and melo looking like a beast too.

@@anthonyantmanedwardsisbett8197 yeah time around the dynamic is abundance but its bland theres no Rivalry, its like a practice game like one of them basketball show. I want the intensity, the tenacity, I want the conflict. Thats all it is.

@@xooonepieceoox1917 there was a rivalry with the warriors and the cavs but kd ruined it

@@anthonyantmanedwardsisbett8197 *Joakim Noah- Top 4 in the MVP vote ( 2014 ).* If Joakim Noah had played in the 90s, he would have been a role-playing player. *Deandre Jordan- All-Nba First Team ( 2016 ).* Lol. Place Shaquille O"Neal and Hakeem Olajuwon in the modern league and Wilt Chamberlain"s records will be broken. Even shorty 5"8 Isiah Thomas can average 29-ppg. in the modern league. 1984-1999 Golden era: Dominique Wilkins, Shaquille O"Neal, David Robinson, Magic Johnson, Grant Hill, Penny Hardaway, Allen Iverson, Clyde Drexler, John Stockton, Chris Mullin, Mitch Richmond, Larry Bird, Hakeem Olajuwon, Dikembe Mutombo, Dennis Rodman, Isiah Thomas, Moses Malone, Glen Rice, Larry Johnson, Gary Payton, Alonzo Mourning, Kevin Jonhson, Reggie Miller, Clyde Drexler, Shawn Kemp, Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, Patrick Ewing..............

When dr j played it was the biggest the arena got everyone was screaming

could've been

*The* best. Can’t change my mind

T H E BEST. Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson combined into one.

dude was the complete embodiment of the phrase “show time”.

He's top 10 if healthy.

We seen better lol

I think he was more of a SF an was being played out of position.

AHMAD2423 yea u can say that but the way he handled the ball was crazy tho no 🧢

That's John Stockton, penny is a hybrid player like Grant Hill

​@@AHMAD-2324he is not a sf he is a natural pg who also played a little sg

​@@AHMAD-2324he's built like kobe but a inch taller than 6'6 220 kobe hardaway was 6'7 between 215-220

Moses Bey injuries

If only it weren't for Olajuwon and Drexler's Houston.

@@m2ranojaholo79 That was just their first trip to the Finals. If that Magic team had stuck together and built around Penny and Shaq, they could've won multiple titles for sure.

@@chiefmac88 yea 🙌 the owner was on drugs 💉 💊 to let shaq walk hardaway and o' neal was a treat if they stayed together my opinion been better 🌟 👍 than shaq and kobe

Its just like shaq said it took kobe 2 maybe 3 year to play that good but for penny he just that good from the start

@@kenyatagreen7512 definitely not better than shaq n kobe

He may not be the goat but he did enough to be a hall of famer

Shaq was the meat tenderizer Penny was the carving knife

Facts I loved watching Penny Play

97 penny also his 96-97 stats are his most superior

He was a unique player of his era. Hardaway was like an NBA player who time traveled from the 22nd century to the 1990s. If NBA fans envisioned such player it would be Hardaway.

The difference was Shaq being out for numerous games the following season and Penny still carrying the Magic to a very good record without him.

@@ChrisM07 96-96>

@@youngkingsht5099 I agree with that.

The 90's era was a little weak watered down expansion teams era

@@anthonylockhart6120 Sure whatever

That game is in this video at 18:33

🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽

Can't be official if it's not official. Symbolically....yes. Language.

Y'all keep repeating the same thing over and over

He played in the modern version of the NBA. He was drafted in '93 everything after around '86-'88 is considered to be the modern day version because that's when the Game started to change in terms of skills set's and overall athleticism.

Except a healthy body

Facts

He was not a PG he was a SF being played out of position. Which led to degenerative knee's and ultimately ended his career.

AHMAD2423 lmao are you blind ? That man is pure PG not his fault god bless him to be 6’7

@@AHMAD-2324 so magic Johnson wasn't a pg???

​@@AHMAD-2324the fuck are you talking about So I guess magic Johnson isn't a PG ? Fuck outta here. You don't know ball

...

Kobe

@@goated7024 nope, penny was.

You're crazy as Hell🤣🤣🤣 I assume you've never heard of a player name Shaquille O'neal...

AHMAD2423 his 97 playoffs performance tells you what he was right their as well as 96 against Chicago he was better with out Shaq in early 95 when he lead the league in not only in scoring but was the player of the month and ended up 3rd in mvp voting after he sacrificed his stats for when Shaq came back for the duration of the 95-96 season !!

Stop playin wit Tracy ma Grady like dat bro😒💯

@@murdamanspaulding6804 penny Tracy McGradys idol ! That’s why he wore the armband and wore number 1 !!

Shaq got his ass handed 2 him by Hakeem is Y.

MackMainSupreme's Down Souf Muzik youre right and Shaq never brings that up🤣

Nick The Brick Anderson and Dennis Scott didn’t help that much.
