If you didn’t grow up in the 90s, it’s hard to comprehend what a phenomenon Penny was. He was a true unicorn. Incredible vision, handles, height, athleticism, finishing… everything. I feel like he’d have benefited from recent medical advances more than anyone not named Grant Hill.
@@DarknessFlameMedia Larry was a 3x champion, 3x MVP, 12x All-Star, 9x All-NBA First Team, and is IMHO a top-5 player of all time. Bird had a few years taken from him by injuries, but Penny’s career never truly got started.
Boy, the way Shaq & Penny played. Songs like Shaq-Fu made the Hit charts someway. Guys like these 2 just had it made. Those were the days Magic team wasn't in no welfare state. Everybody pulled his weight Gee, the old Kenny Smith sure ran great. Those were the days
Shaq should remember that other guy he's talking about that didn't become "him" until a few years later, that was because Del Harris was a hater bot not giving "him" playing time and they also had Eddie Jones, Van Exel and Elden. It wasn't until the Lakers got smart and got rid of those guys and made it a 1-2 punch that they started winning championships. "Him" won twice though without Shaq.
You could see on the court how much love, respect, and joy Penny and Shaq had for each other. I went to medical school with Shaq’s high school point guard. Shaq alwayss left tickets for John at the gate when he was in town. That’s all I need to know about how good of a person Shaq is.
Anfernee Hardaway was one of those “he doesn’t need to work on his game” kind of players because he came in with everything already at Level 9 - dribbling, passing, shooting, court-vision, ball-handling, basketball IQ. Penny Hardaway was poised to be the next Michael Jordan before the late Kobe Bryant.
Him and Grant Hill were two extremely talented, athletic, professional, hardworking, etc. They both had formulas to be the next guy but both got injured early...

He's being honest because everyone loved Penny....but he's not being honest because Kobe was HIM from the beginning....Not even Shaq and Penny are stopping Kobe, with all due Respect.
I’m from Jordan- Chicago Bulls era, but the only jersey that I ever have was Penny Hardaway team USA. Big respect for that man, he was unique and complete player.
For real, he might not have had the same popularity as Jordan (no one did!) but all the kiddos wanted to be Penny in the Mid 90s. I remember he wore a band-aid on his face one time and the next week kids were wearing the band aid hahaha.
Penny was my favorite player right behind MJ. His game was fundamentally solid but beautiful to watch and with just enough flair to set him apart from EVERYONE else.
I love this!!! Meeting Mr Hardaway his approach was just pure authentic as if i’ve known him my entire life i was so nervous kinda scared to even speak but i did & reached to give him a handshake he said no give me a hug! He is the truth most definitely a legendary icon!! Shoutout to you!!🫶🏾 Shaq as well as a man that was the most realest thing to do & taking full accountability of actions ❤️ continue being great kings!!
The saddest thing is Penny found out Shaq was leaving at the Olympic team press conference. He must have thought damn my bro couldn't even tell me personally. He hates me that much?
As a Bulls fan growing up in the 90s, I absolutely believe they never argued. They looked cool as hell together on the court at all times, and not only because the Magic jersey is a top tier 90's jersey.
The Magic's owners, coaching staff, and gm's weren't ready to build a dynasty. That why they didn't pay Shaq. Horace Grant was the last great big man they ever recruited before becoming a career graveyard.
Shaq was THE most dominant center ever. He was young and destroying EVERYONE. I wish I clda had more Shaq and Kobe cause they clda kept going for alot longer.

As a die hard Laker fan, it was unbelievable when I heard the rumors of Shaq coming to L.A., we knew Shaq and Penny were the dynasty. All the ballers were wearing Penny's shoes in L.A.
Haaa funny I wear shades all da time cuz of light but as a man if u gonna apologize u shood b looking in da eyes. I think it def genuine jus gotta take dem shades off lol
As a teenager during those shaq and penny days it was amazing to watch! The world belonged to them! Shaq staying in Orlando is definitely one of the greatest what ifs in NBA history.
How could you not love Shaq..? He has his moments but as a man that has grown watching this guy, I recognize his wisdom and growth. Hands down, Class Act Shaq.. Never too late to make it right. May not be the same but it’s right and that’s respect Big Man!!
Penny Hardaway will always be my favorite N.B.A player. He from my city and he is the head coach for my favorite schools. I'm very proud of Shaq for having this Discussion and I truly Enjoy this video. I have so much respect how they did this interview. 💯 👍🏽
@@doggiepineda6444 Yeah and went to California where they taxed the hell out of him.That $90M in Florida is like $75M while that $100M in Cali is $40-50M
This was a real big man move, i meet shaqu in singapore when my team won the reebok three on three competition i was the only black african born kid we had lunch with it was blessed. Great message here.
Penny definitely came into the league as a better player than Kobe BUT Kobe was 17 on a team full of veterans that hated on him and held him back , a coach that didn’t let him play
One slight adjustment…it wasn’t egos it was ONE EGO. The common denominator in all of Shaq’s reflections is his ego. Dude was gassed up so much by his inner circle that he never became the leader he needed to be to match his ability. Shaq knows his attitude kept him from being the GOAT! Big props to Shaq for the realness! ✊🏾
Shaq! I'm a grown ass man sitting at a damn laptop getting choked up, sir! 😂😂 On more than one occasion you have made apologies to/cleared the air with past teammates and I don't think people are understanding how EPIC that is. Couple that with showing up in stores and blessing people randomly....you are TEACHING some valuable life lessons. Kudos to you, my brotha. (Yes I addressed this to Shaq knowing he'll never read it, lol. However, I have been clearing the air with ex girlfriends...lol)
Shaq man you really been the same since you came on the scene. You respect your mother and your upbringing is reflected in your life. Your mom did good bruh
If only Shaq and Penny stayed together for a few more years!! They would have definitely won 🏆 after a couple of years together! The Magic organisation messed up not paying Shaq! I saw that team play live in 95, they were so amazing to watch! 👊🏽👍🏽🙏🏽
Penny Hardaway is 💯 no matter what the subject is, a great human being. Regardless of who you are or what you do if he sees you, he will always speak or give you a friendly nod👊
Penny and shaq would have gotten at least 4 .... they had some really good OTHERS too Scott, Anderson, Grant.... man they would have been low key unstoppable
It's so funny because if they were on 'Inside the NBA' and Charles said this as a flub, Shaq would be cracking up and crumbling and throwing his paper🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s that new generation s**t we know when the conversation is on the funny s**t just like back in the day guys use to say ima bust yo azz it meant 👊🏾 fight or playing sports etc but now yea y’all say pause. My coworker pausing everything 😂😂like man knock it off
If you think about it, one could say.. Shaq actually argued with Kobe because he wasn't Penny. He was accustomed to a player who was great in his own right without being selfish. 🤯
Shaq and Penny are two mature men. I worked with his daddy everyday In Wildflecken Germany. They are an outstanding family period. Mrs. Lucy is the catalyst. Great Job guys!
@@Daniel_Capitalabsolutely correct! People get caught up in his jokes and playfulness. But he’s a narcissist and always has a problem with ANYONE he feels is getting more shine than himself when he’s present.
I LOVED them together. At that time, Orlando was my team, (even though I am a Miami Native). I was so happy when Shaq finally landed in Miami, and Penny actually had a stint with Miami later too. Those were my best years as a fan.

I was rooting for the Magic, but they don't, the 95 Rockets were getting better and better each series, they face elimination in the first 2 rounds against the Jazz and Suns and came back and won, and beat the team with with best record that season the Spurs. The Magic had no business losing game 1 in the fashion they did, but even if Magic won game 1, it wouldn't have affected the Rockets.
Nope. Don't forget that Orlando got swept in the series. Even if they won a game, they would have lost the series. Plus, Shaq was young and simply couldn't handle Hakeem. He made Shaq look like a fool with that spin move.
I just like to publicly apologize to Penny. I was a teenage Pacers fan and didn’t realize how special Penny was. Shaq and him should’ve been great together in Orlando for a decade. Great vid
What a duo you guys made at that time i watched basketball regulerly. Now i dont. Thanks to both for all the art you both did spread in all those matches specially when you did played together. Max respect from a fan from Portugal 🇵🇹

As a die hard Laker fan, it was unbelievable when I heard the rumors of Shaq coming to L.A., we knew Shaq and Penny were the dynasty. All the ballers were wearing Penny's shoes in L.A.
Take those shades off Shaq. Takes a man to look into his eyes of a person he says sorry too.
Haaa funny I wear shades all da time cuz of light but as a man if u gonna apologize u shood b looking in da eyes. I think it def genuine jus gotta take dem shades off lol
too late to be sorry
For real. Plus those shades look like he’s fishing with lasers in the future.
@@mefirst2576 Haaa ya think? Lol
I respect and appreciate Shaq and his sincerity either way.
Was a Knicks fan but that Magic team was must watch TV. Shaq, Penny, Nick Anderson, Dennis Scott, etc....
As a teenager during those shaq and penny days it was amazing to watch! The world belonged to them! Shaq staying in Orlando is definitely one of the greatest what ifs in NBA history.
It was a great time to be a Magic fan. They had great personalities, were fun to watch, and were poised to take the crown from basketball royalty.
How could you not love Shaq..? He has his moments but as a man that has grown watching this guy, I recognize his wisdom and growth. Hands down, Class Act Shaq.. Never too late to make it right. May not be the same but it’s right and that’s respect Big Man!!
Penny Hardaway will always be my favorite N.B.A player. He from my city and he is the head coach for my favorite schools. I'm very proud of Shaq for having this Discussion and I truly Enjoy this video. I have so much respect how they did this interview. 💯 👍🏽
The common denominator was Shaq walking away first....
I'd walk away too if they gave Alonzo Mourning a $100+ million contract (Heat) and Orlando him $90 million. 🤣
@@doggiepineda6444
Yeah and went to California where they taxed the hell out of him.That $90M in Florida is like $75M while that $100M in Cali is $40-50M
The front office couldn't wrap their minds around giving him that much money. I wish they paid him I was angry for years at the front office
That’s exactly what I was thinking
He literally called out his flaws and what he messed up on. Stop judging and look in the mirror clown.
"I came in him, and he came in him" is a craaaaaaazy comment #NoDiddy 😂😂😂
Kids take that out of wat he said
Crazy you alone are the one thinking about gay sex. Hmmmmm
This was a real big man move, i meet shaqu in singapore when my team won the reebok three on three competition i was the only black african born kid we had lunch with it was blessed. Great message here.
Penny definitely came into the league as a better player than Kobe BUT Kobe was 17 on a team full of veterans that hated on him and held him back , a coach that didn’t let him play
Exactly Penny was 4 years older than Kobe when he came in -
4 years is a ton of time
Even if they didn’t hate on Kobe he was 4 years younger. Age wise he became him faster.
Penny was the perfect player, his only mistake was not bulking up once he hit the league, which is what took mj to the next level
💥💥💥 PENNY & SHAQ WE’RE THE BEST DUO I GREW UP WATCHING & LUV’N… SALUTE 🫡 TO SHAQ FOR ALWAYS KEEPING IT 💯
👏 to the big fella, I remember hearing Mike Tyson saying basically the same thing once he grew up. It's dope seeing men becoming men
One slight adjustment…it wasn’t egos it was ONE EGO.
The common denominator in all of Shaq’s reflections is his ego. Dude was gassed up so much by his inner circle that he never became the leader he needed to be to match his ability. Shaq knows his attitude kept him from being the GOAT! Big props to Shaq for the realness! ✊🏾
Yes.
Shaq! I'm a grown ass man sitting at a damn laptop getting choked up, sir! 😂😂 On more than one occasion you have made apologies to/cleared the air with past teammates and I don't think people are understanding how EPIC that is. Couple that with showing up in stores and blessing people randomly....you are TEACHING some valuable life lessons. Kudos to you, my brotha. (Yes I addressed this to Shaq knowing he'll never read it, lol. However, I have been clearing the air with ex girlfriends...lol)
Shaq man you really been the same since you came on the scene. You respect your mother and your upbringing is reflected in your life. Your mom did good bruh
Shaq“ you came in him and I came in him” crazy 😂😂
PAUSE😂
I would love to watch that
I thought I was the only one who heard that 😂
Typical 5 yr old observation..
@@originaldelta 7
I am proud of you, Shaw, from man to man. You have really grown as a human being and are inspirational. It takes a lot for us to deal with our egos'.
If only Shaq and Penny stayed together for a few more years!! They would have definitely won 🏆 after a couple of years together! The Magic organisation messed up not paying Shaq! I saw that team play live in 95, they were so amazing to watch! 👊🏽👍🏽🙏🏽
I remember watching the movie Blue Chips with these 2 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Penny: "If I leave, can my mom keep her house?"
Nolte: "Better be at practice on Monday." 😂😂😂😂
What a great respectful thing to say from Big Man about Penny who is highly underrated.
Penny was one of them ones man one of my favorite players if you know ball you kno this a pure hoooper ‼️
Penny Hardaway is 💯 no matter what the subject is, a great human being. Regardless of who you are or what you do if he sees you, he will always speak or give you a friendly nod👊
… that Hardaway jersey hit so hard in the mid 90s
Penny and shaq would have gotten at least 4 .... they had some really good OTHERS too Scott, Anderson, Grant.... man they would have been low key unstoppable
Penny hardaway HOF HANDS DOWN PERIOD! He came in the league Ready!
The older Shaq gets, the more I like him. I love the honesty he shares when he reflects.
My bad shaq that’s all good but “I came in him, you came in him” was WILD ⏸️⏸️ EEYYYYOOOO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 #IIWII
PaUsE!!
🤣🤣🤣
“Came in him and I came in him”🔥🔥🔥
Dude I was like 😮😮😮😮😮
Oh, Yall Zesty zesty!!
Major pause
PAUSE! 😅
🤣🤣🤣 was just gonna say MEGA PAUSEEE
“Only a few guys who came in him, I came in him, and you came in him.” WHAT? HUH!
😂
"... you came in HIM." (what was said) 😂😂
vs
"... you came in AS HIM." (what should've been said)
Love the show!!
You came in:Him.
It's so funny because if they were on 'Inside the NBA' and Charles said this as a flub, Shaq would be cracking up and crumbling and throwing his paper🤣🤣🤣🤣
I came in him, he came in him...pause 😂😂
Major pause . Red flag. Foul on the play
That’s that new generation s**t we know when the conversation is on the funny s**t just like back in the day guys use to say ima bust yo azz it meant 👊🏾 fight or playing sports etc but now yea y’all say pause. My coworker pausing everything 😂😂like man knock it off
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@caliraisedlatothabay5185 exactly
Penny + Shaq = Magic! This was my favorite Shaq! Shaq is on my Mt Rushmore.
Damn, hits hard... One love from Serbia 💋
shoutout Serbia 🇷🇸 ❤
@@applesaucelarry813 thank u brotha, 4 real it was so special generation ❤️
If you think about it, one could say.. Shaq actually argued with Kobe because he wasn't Penny. He was accustomed to a player who was great in his own right without being selfish. 🤯
Shaq and Penny are two mature men. I worked with his daddy everyday In Wildflecken Germany. They are an outstanding family period. Mrs. Lucy is the catalyst. Great Job guys!
I love Shaq accountability
Better late than never, but he did wrong for a lot of years
@@Daniel_Capitalabsolutely correct! People get caught up in his jokes and playfulness. But he’s a narcissist and always has a problem with ANYONE he feels is getting more shine than himself when he’s present.
man fuck shaq dudes ego always got the best of him
It's called maturity
@@robert3700 right. It's like a woman who is humbled once she hits the wall. The accountability don't hit the same
Penny had the point gaurd mentality. Fit Shaqs game like a glove. Perfect duo. They beat MJ in a playoff series.
They beat #45 MJ who had been out of the game for 2 years. Things went right back to normal the next season.
@@MeCanik79True. But back then MJ was MJ. If you beat him to the supermarket you woulda got props.
I LOVED them together. At that time, Orlando was my team, (even though I am a Miami Native). I was so happy when Shaq finally landed in Miami, and Penny actually had a stint with Miami later too. Those were my best years as a fan.
"I came in him, you came in him" is Wild lol
That was a big pause and no diddy moment 😂lol. I thought I was the only one who noticed. I had to rewind lol.
@@jamesswearengin7544 😂
Lol. Glad y'all heard it too
@@leochan9717 😂
Dwight Howard out there feeling jealous as fuck of some dude out there.
The lil penny commercials were some of the greatest at that time!!!
Heck yeah. Literally changed the commercial game after that.
@1:26
SHAQ: "i played with a lot of guys, but, it's only a few guys that came in him. I came in him, and you came in him..." AYO PAUSE! NO DIDDY! FIYAHFIDAT! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣This shit is diabolical!
Pause! No Diddy! 😂
Super pause 😂 diabolical work!!!
wtf
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who came here to say wtf No Diddy😂
Please don't Google it 😂😂😂
Notice Shaq played with the best ever guards on the '90s and '00s. He couldn't ever reach the Finals without Penny, Wade, and Kobe R I.P.
😢
Your point?
1:29 is the craziest pause ever! Shaq outta pocket!
Ayooo😂
Creampie
@@5lime9ordo 🤣😂🤣😂
Penny was a gamechanger: 6'7" guard with the quickness, explosiveness, and killer mentality. He was ice cold.
Shaq pause bro "came in him" No Diddy slick 😅
Man said it twice too😂😂
Resume.

If Nick Anderson didn’t miss 4 straight FREE throws I firmly believe they would of won the series
I was rooting for the Magic, but they don't, the 95 Rockets were getting better and better each series, they face elimination in the first 2 rounds against the Jazz and Suns and came back and won, and beat the team with with best record that season the Spurs. The Magic had no business losing game 1 in the fashion they did, but even if Magic won game 1, it wouldn't have affected the Rockets.
@@RichGannon12Rockets would have won regardless because Hakeem was also him
Nope. Don't forget that Orlando got swept in the series. Even if they won a game, they would have lost the series. Plus, Shaq was young and simply couldn't handle Hakeem. He made Shaq look like a fool with that spin move.
I just like to publicly apologize to Penny. I was a teenage Pacers fan and didn’t realize how special Penny was. Shaq and him should’ve been great together in Orlando for a decade. Great vid
Malcolm vs. Martin, Pac vs. Biggie, they always pit great black men vs one another.
Shaquille O’Neal should’ve stayed in Orlando for entire career!! He owe Penny Hardaway, Orlando Magic and the their fans an apology!!
He just said sorry ..sit the f down
@@mccleandazza4618 Nobody asked for your input
What a duo you guys made at that time i watched basketball regulerly.
Now i dont.
Thanks to both for all the art you both did spread in all those matches specially when you did played together.
Max respect from a fan from Portugal 🇵🇹
They would have gotten at least two titles together if they had stayed together in Orlando.
Lol. Idiotic and ignorant..NOBODY knows what would have happened
