Love to hear that! For me it was grant hill! Assuming you're around the same age was me most people's love for bball started with MJ and the bulls. I remember I had like 3 different pair of grant hill FILA's, same one, just 3 different colors :P ahhh the good ole days lol
This was the best era of NBA basketball. A physical game, the players weren't activists, had normal haircuts, and weren't covered in tattoos. They just wanted to play at the highest level. The rate of play was much better because the ref's weren't calling touch fouls every 15 seconds. I miss Penny's era. He was one of the best. IMHO, at his peak, Penny was the closest to Jordan for a short time. It's a shame he went down hill with injuries. That 95 team was a squad! I was at the finals game 1 (in the upper bowl) when Nick missed those free throws. I'll never forget it.
Put it this way... after watching him only a few games with the Magic I was wowed. And living only a couple hours away from Orlando I was a Magic fan. And I was thinking to myself, he's our 'Jordan'! Loved his authoritative dunks that seemed to come outta nowhere. I remember thinking how cool he looked, with nice flare. And I was only 5 years his senior, so I could relate to him generation-wise. I also have this memory that sticks with me... When I bought my next pair of Nikes I was thinking, maybe I can look as cool as Penny at my next pick up game with these. 😆 That's how much he took over my basketball world.
Glad i came up in the 90s. Penny was my twin bro's and I favorite player AND STILL IS. I still have games of his on vhs. And all his rookie cards. Lol Not to mention he had the some of the dopest Nikes.
@@cortlandsimmons6241 in fact, when the penny 1's came out , they dropped the SAME day the 11 concord's came out and nobody new it , when me and my homeboy went to the mall to get the Jordans , they were NO size for us , and when the dude in Champs Sport brought the Penny's ...... THE REST WAS HISTORY !!!! After us , everybody in school wanted them ! $
I don't care what people say, 90s basketball was unreal!!! Today's basketball is too sanitised. Too clean. But I guess that's the kid nostalgia in me as that's when I started following the NBA 🤷♂️
He really didn't have any weaknesses. Could back you down fade away, post you up, dribble you to the rim, pull up jumper, make the right pass, or hit the 3.
From what I remember watching him play the Bulls in the playoffs, Pippen couldn't stop him. It was truly exciting watching him play, even though I was a Bulls fan (Pippen & MJ fan) then.
Met Anfernee on my job at the Marriott Hotel downtown Memphis. He was sweet, quiet and reserved. Ignored another fan to talk to me and gave me his autograph. A real sweet heart ❤️
Penny was THE FRANCHISE in Orlando then..his court vision for assists was unmatched only by White Chocolate but he couldn't hang with Anfernee height and speed...one of the best and most underrated players in NBA history
@@danmule4131 hardaway wasn't lifting weight of course ! hardaway wasn't even a professional athlete right ? Only the bulls were lifting weights in the NBA that's why they looked jacked like bodybuilders on stage.
My favourite memory is probably 1997 playoffs without Shaq he played amazing against stacked Miami Heat team. Then Injury happened and it was all over...
i did do + will somewhat like him but the best point guards ever are were + will be #1 oscar robertson #2 magic johnson #3 jerry west + #4 pete maravich
Penny's Years In Orlando Were Unbelievable,He Will Always Be 1 Of My All-Time Favorite Players.Dam I Tell You What,A Healthy Penny Hardaway In Today's NBA😳 6'7 Point Guard Would Be Showing Everyone What's Up...
No franchise could survive their #1 leaving, but even then Magic fans felt confident in their future because they still had Penny. Too bad he got hurt, imagine what his career would be like, those highlights came in just 3 years of play! A comparable athlete would prob be D Rose, both got career altering injury as they hit their prime
Penny did it all PG SG SF magic had so many t mac,Shaq,penny,Dwight,grant Hill,Steve francis,Vince carter,jammer Nelson, Rashard Lewis,Gilbert arenas and even couple HOF Patrick Ewing and Dominique Wilkins
@@TheSnake1123 im not entirely sure about that but i can see why ... penny was an excellent playmaker better than kobe so their link up wouldve been amazing
...please don't roast me guys.... Lol. LaMelo reminds me alot of a more flashy Penny (in his prime). I hadn't thought of that comparison until this video popped up.
What stands out besides how good he was is the fact that he didn't show up his opponents or gesture with three fingers after a made three. None of the bullshit that has become normal and accepted in today's game. For this reason I love Kawhi Leonard....in a straight man kind of way. NOT THAT THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT! I must be getting old!
It's a shame he got hurt. He showed everyone what he could do when healthy... He was a one man wreaking crew...smh and made our city and ball players out of Memphis proud. And now even more because he is coaching our tigers.. Let's get one penny..
I am from the UK I have supported Orlando magic my whole life (Yes I am young....still.. ish..) Penny hardaway and shaq and grant We’re my boys I was so sad when we didn’t win against the bulls Back then I hated jordan But strangely loved Pippen and especially Rodman In the end Rodman became my all time favourite Couldn’t stand Shaq And still can’t stand him He became a bullie
He was the reason that I started playing Basketball and that I am a Magic Fan!
Yes agree!
Facts bro 💯🏴 #Chicago

Good to see he's getting more and more respect! One of my biggest childhood heroes.
The 🐐 in my eyes, favorite player hands down. Doesn't get the respect he deserves.
The good old days Shaq and big Penny i remember all this I love my Orlando Magic and I love this game
Penny had underrated footwork man
Rusty Dagon And very a underrated post game.
And Shooting especially for the 90s
Might’ve had the second best footwork in the post, behind Dream
Yeah he did outside of MJ Penny was the best.
Favorite player of all time
Thank u for being different! Love Penny.
Same
My favorite player of all time.
Yes!!!
for me too, all time baby
Oh, I've always love Penny Hardaway of the Magic #1 he a Greatest player of all-Time.

Penny had the BEST assists. Probably why he's such a good coach now. He's a team player.

My favorite player of all time. Hardcore fanatical Magic since q
1993. GO MAGIC!!!
One of the best.
One of my favorite players!
Same bro , ganito ko maglaro pero except Yung dunk 😅 top ring lang .
Penny was the man
flashback 90s! we love and we miss 90s
Still one of the most electrifying and exciting team ever assembled in the NBA...
I hurt for penny everytime I see his highlights
I don't care what people say, 90s basketball was unreal!!!

Evwrybody forgets he was solid defender ,great stealer for breakaways
Penny should have been the next Magic Johnson. As far as I remember, he suffered from injuries early in his career
Penny should have hit the weights and move up to 220-225
Kobe didn't get all his moves from MJ..he got a lot of em from Penny. Kobe was great but Penny was COLD!!! RIP Kobe🙏
My favorite ALL TIME player
Met Anfernee on my job at the Marriott Hotel downtown Memphis. He was sweet, quiet and reserved. Ignored another fan to talk to me and gave me his autograph. A real sweet heart ❤️
Penny what more can I say absolute Beast 💪👑
Penny was nice, glad he was a part of my era
I can't wait to get my Orlando magic jersey today those were some of the best times back then watching penny and shaq.
Oh my God! I used to love him so much. This is undoubtedly my favorite era of basketball.
Put him in the Hall of Fame
A spining, long stride euro step. That blew my mind. The control to pull that off. Unreal footwork.
This man is respected what he did off the court in the city of Orlando. Penny was a big inspiration in my growing up. 🙋♂️😀
Memphis is proud of Hardaway!!
Man, if Penny didnt get injured he would have been close to a modern version of Magic... smh
@@billboat6068 You can see how MJs muscular body weighed him down so much, his knees were shit by 35 and he was crap in 2001.
Penny would of been better
@V S your exaggerating but he wasn't bad in his 35s, he could still give you buckets (at least 22 ppg)
@V S oops im spoopid i was thinking wizards seasons forgot when the dude retired
@@leemcb7297 huh?? Yea.. u dont kno basketball.. MJ was better at 39 than half the players at 29...
Penny was THE FRANCHISE in Orlando then..his court vision for assists was unmatched only by White Chocolate but he couldn't hang with Anfernee height and speed...one of the best and most underrated players in NBA history
Grant Hill, penny, pippen and MJ no one can replace them
In my humble opinion, Anfernee Hardaway and Grant Hill are the best players behind Michael Jordan at that time.
but jordan was on roid, jordan was a heavyweight compared to hardaway, twice his size on the legs and the arms, thats from roids
Or from lifting weights
@@danmule4131 hardaway wasn't lifting weight of course ! hardaway wasn't even a professional athlete right ? Only the bulls were lifting weights in the NBA that's why they looked jacked like bodybuilders on stage.
So smooth, the way he carries and protects the ball.
He is the reason I am a Magic fan.
Thank you - love penny and the footage is excellent quality too! :)
One Of My 2 Points Guards NYK22
Second reason I Love This Game..after Earvin Magic..dang man...we need player like penny today
Forever legend
Go Orlando.
If only we have the medical technology we have back then. Penny and many others could've played longer in their careers.
This is amazing!!! Can we have more please! Wow!!
That dunk on Ewing by Penny I think is the most underrated dunk ever. I mean Ewing was in his prime and Penny just posterized him.
he dunked on hakeem too
@@ahwooliu4764 yep
@@charlesberry4452 also on David Robinson even he was not in his prime.
He was the one guy that I saw give Jordan real problems! My all-time favorite PG!
He'd be a NIGHTMARE for these guys in this soft ass era, to have to match-up with on a nightly basis.
And so would a prime Grant Hill!
Definitely yes
My favourite memory is probably 1997 playoffs without Shaq he played amazing against stacked Miami Heat team. Then Injury happened and it was all over...
I remember as a kid trying my hardest to trace and draw the magic logo just cuz' lol
Childhood memories
Penny Hardaway IS THE BEST PLAYER OF ALL-TIME
Damn injuries, could've been and should've been a great player.
#1 the best point guard in the NBA! 👌
i did do + will somewhat like him but the best point guards ever are were + will be #1 oscar robertson #2 magic johnson #3 jerry west + #4 pete maravich
Looks a lot like a young kobe, quick first step, foot work, spin moves, bounce
My favorite nba player
His game is so smooth
Those passes where elite asf
Penny's Years In Orlando Were Unbelievable,He Will Always Be 1 Of My All-Time Favorite Players.Dam I Tell You What,A Healthy Penny Hardaway In Today's NBA😳 6'7 Point Guard Would Be Showing Everyone What's Up...
My first NBA jersey was Penny Hardaway Orlando Magic. I used to wear that boy like 3 times a week 😂
Me too
Before Iverson we had penny #1
i did do + will somewhat like both of them but iverson even with help was on 76ers teams that went 53-111 from 11-96 up to 04-98
다시봐도 개간지….my idol!!
Penny was going to be a legit threat to MJ. When MJ came back i bet he was like "oh shlt, boy, i better up my game this summer."
Great plays, we need more rare highlights though!
I love Orlando Magic days with Penny and Shaq.
He was a generational talent. Who knows what he would have accomplished if he didn't get hurt.
I wonder the same about Grant Hill.
Penny Hardaway should've won a ring.
I❤❤ Love Penny Hadeyway❤❤
kids today don't know how good penny was
He had Nike commercials... the Penny Puppet and MJ23 wore his sneakers in a game. Yeah that squad made Orlando, Florida exciting.
🐐
Let's Go Hadeeay 😊😊
He had another Hardaway on skates. Lmao!!
Tim Hardaway
No franchise could survive their #1 leaving, but even then Magic fans felt confident in their future because they still had Penny. Too bad he got hurt, imagine what his career would be like, those highlights came in just 3 years of play!
A comparable athlete would prob be D Rose, both got career altering injury as they hit their prime
Who didn't love Penny
Penny did it all PG SG SF magic had so many t mac,Shaq,penny,Dwight,grant Hill,Steve francis,Vince carter,jammer Nelson, Rashard Lewis,Gilbert arenas and even couple HOF Patrick Ewing and Dominique Wilkins
His shoes were the dopest
That was my team!
I wish he did'nt suffer from injuries and shaq did not leave magic
I’ll go to my grave believing that had Shaq stayed with the Magic, he and Penny would’ve been a better duo than Shaq and Kobe
@@TheSnake1123 im not entirely sure about that but i can see why ... penny was an excellent playmaker better than kobe so their link up wouldve been amazing
Should have retired his jersey.
Orlando dont retire jersey. They put players in "Orlando Hall of Fame"
@@ygk6279 they retire #6 for fans tho
Cold!
...please don't roast me guys.... Lol. LaMelo reminds me alot of a more flashy Penny (in his prime). I hadn't thought of that comparison until this video popped up.

Penny had the Juice
the best
They don't play basketball like this anymore. 😔
Penny was like a hybrid of Jordan and Magic Johnson.
pls do tmac highlights
Does someone has HD games of him
And orlando magic 1996 full game please
Shame he got injured in Phoenix..... but will probably still be hall of Famer
His injuries started in his last years in ORL. Never fully recovered...
I KEEP TELLING YALL THAT IN THE 1990's OUTSIDE OF MICHAEL JORDAN PENNY HARDAWAY WAS EVERYONE'S FAVORITE PLAYER....
Seeing as how this is from the official Orlando Magic channel, this collection seems a bit weak to me. Plenty of fantastic highlights missing.
This video doesn’t do Penny justice.
He was so much better than this!
Pure baller!
It's a shame he got hurt. He showed everyone what he could do when healthy... He was a one man wreaking crew...smh and made our city and ball players out of Memphis proud. And now even more because he is coaching our tigers.. Let's get one penny..
When this man was healthy, he was a bad mutha shut your mouth!! Loved the 90's. Kc loved that Orland Magic Blue
him and grant hill those two could have ran the league but because of injuries we didnt witness it.
Almost beings me to tears thinking what could have been if not for injuries.
Penny Hardaway was a beast off the leash injuries was his krptonite
最近好多Penny的影片，如果現今的年輕球迷看過他打球，一定會著迷的，他的球風就像打後衛的仙道一樣，好多今天的巨星都是想成為penny而打籃球，而不是想成為喬丹
Orlando magic 1997 full game please
I am from the UK
I have supported Orlando magic my whole life
(Yes I am young....still.. ish..)
Penny hardaway and shaq and grant
We’re my boys
I was so sad when we didn’t win against the bulls
Back then I hated jordan
But strangely loved Pippen and especially
Rodman
In the end Rodman became my all time favourite
Couldn’t stand Shaq
And still can’t stand him
He became a bullie
Awesome 👍👍👍🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
