- To celebrate the Penny's 43 rd birthday relive the best moments of his first years in NBA when he played with Shaquille O'neal in Orlando.
Hardaway was directly a smart player beautiful to watch, smooth and quick with a great vision of the game.
With Shaq He formed one of the best and amazing duets of the history of the game.
A young ,perfect and Devastating combo ....unfortunetly they shared only 3 seasons together.
Here is the re-formed duet for 10 minutes of Pick & rolls , huge dunks ,great passes and blocks.

Penny Hardaway made me love basketball. He totally shaped my teenage years and I think it's really unfortunate how injuries prevented him to be the best PG EVER. I can't even express how sad I am every time I watch a RUclips video about my man Penny. Penny Hardaway, to me, you are the BEST, period.
+Brice Nguessan I'm so glad u posted this, he's my 3rd best player after Jordan, Iverson .
same here,that magic team was something special
Me too
Totaly agree...penny is the basketball!!
He would of been a top 5 point guard of all time without injuries see not the best because of magic Johnson
penny was my mj
10 seasons together they would of smashed every record in the books penny made shaq much better he wanted his big guy happy so he fed him.. Kobe not so much that was the issue. shaq had power should of brought penny to the Lakers or never left Orlando why he did that anyway? I know penny was hurt smg a dynasty that never was
Penny was also my MJ as 90's kid having that f*** being like mike, I wanna be like Penny attitude. I thought I was the only one
@@bryancurry5472 yea i wanted to be like penny or shaq to :)
@@leftdaboss l was so pissed and confused as a child at SHAQ leaving us. How do you leave your team?? We were in the FINALS!!! We were next up smh
U can say that again bro Penny was my MJ I was a kid but I still remember the Penny shoes my mom bought me I’ll never forget the color n star shape 💫
Nobody could do it like Penny then or now. On another level
MJ once said "If you were to compare anybody to me, it would be Penny" the goat said it. Penny was probably the best pg in the league at that time, definitely unguardable
Hussle Crowe your exactly right
yeah, and i remember when he was retired and doing guest spots for games in 93 and early 94, they asked jordan who would be the best player in the nba in the 90s, shaq included, he always said penny. this team's nba story was crazy.
watch the highlights from Pippens celebrity charity game, They put Penny and MJ on the same team it was amazing
Hussle Crowe Remember when Jordan said that when he came back. 👍🏻
Don't forget MJ even said that if he were to pass his torch, it would've been passed to Penny Hardaway. Jordan even wore Penny's shoes during a game against the Magic. It was the only time he wore another player's shoes.
Such an amazing talent was Penny when he joined the NBA, he almost had everything to become one of the greatest ever. Handling skill, passing, vision, athletism, basketball IQ, shooting, excellent fundamentals, shooting, team-player, refined post-game, creativity, smoothness and more. During his prime and before the injuries, he made some amazing plays that only a few players could even compare to in terms of creativity, finesse and skills, not just those usual boring dunks you see all the time nowadays from players like Griffin.
Blake Griffin is that kind of player
+Blackenedification Im not saying he was the best, but I always thought penny had the most tools of any player ive ever seen.
Blackenedification you say during his prime but he never got to his prime
Yep...two things u forgot to add, he could finished with either hand & he was an underrated defender
If you put that 90's Orlando magic in the league now they could win 5-7 rings they were that good
Good gesture
They would take 12 rings, more than Bill Russel got
Doubt it. Not because of your argument but because of Penny's knee woes and Shaq's insecure sense (a lot of that I feel stem from Shaq's questionable work ethic over the years) of not allowing any teammate (Penny and later Kobe) to out stage him. Shaq would rather leave the team than to be out staged.
...and ain' really hav a bench either...if their bench waz worf' a damn they mayB woulda beat hurston -- damn sho wouldn't hav got swep'
Penny Hardaway was one of my favorite sports names coming up. He was great injuries are no joke
Penny and Shaq sent Jordan and Scottie’s Bulls home in the second round of the playoffs.
Yes I remember that one 😂🤗
@Robert Phillips lol....they still, the lady team to beat MJ & the bulls in playoffs
That’s impressive in itself
Nick Anderson choked
@Aaron9 completely in shape played 20 regular season games theb playoff series putting up usual playoff numbers. He had no Rodman to stop Shaq.
Penny Hardaway and Shaq were so entertaining to watch and that whole team was great combination. Just needed a bit more time to gel together and they would have 💯 been Champions! Horace Grant was no fool for leaving the Bulls..
Horace left after Mike retired, just added to an already very good situation
Wish the magic would have stayed together would have been a fun ride
Great mix!! My favorite team from the 90's!
penny was every point guard nightmare a big ass point guard with handles.
Those were my guys in NBA JAM with my Sega Genesis, "It's on fireeeee"
Those were good times 😢
I liked this duo better than when he went to LA ad Kobe came up. Regardless of Kobe's popularity and excellent longevity and career, I always thought Penny was a better player.
i totally agree. he is far far less of a copy cat like kobe. while being rather skinny, his athleticism was superb ( in contrast to those who claims lebron's muscular body to be the benchmark of athleticism). he could jump high, pass way more creatively than lebron and kobe, had a pretty refined post game ( altough he didnt utilize it often due to shaq dominating the post, plus his shorten prime because of the injury). on top of that he is far less selfish as a player compared to kobe.
popeyeisgood I agreed with you up until you said his athleticism is comparable to LeBrons. No one is comparable to James athletically in the history of the NBA. Now skill wise Id give the edge to Penny. I definately agree in his prime he was better than Kobe.
Antony Taylor you dont have to agree with me. but athleticism is being interpreted in very silly ways nowadays. big muscle isnt the absolute indication how athletic a player is. ankle's strength, core body strength, fingers and palm, all these should have be counted into that too and lebron is definitely not the most athletic player in the history. i can go into lengthy details with you if you are willing to get to see my points as well. even with the traditional measurement of athleticism like speeds and quickness, he is not the best, not in his height, just for reference, a prime grant hill is quicker with his feet with a very similar or equal full court pt a to pt b speed. he was also obviously more acrobatic than leborn in the air.
popeyeisgood I don't see how anyone in there right mind would say LeBron isn't the epitome of athleticism. Its not just about the muscles , that's just a plus. The guy is 6'8 260 , he's as strong as an ox nd can move like the wind nd can defy gravity. On a fast break the man is like a run away train , no man in his right mind would get in his way nd on top of all that he has the skill set of a point guard. Tell me who else in the history of the NBA fits that description? I like to see myself as open minded so I'm all ears. Enlighten me
Antony Taylor a 220 pound dennis rodman shut down a 300+ pound shaq. This is basketball. We are not in the gym lifting weights and then competing in a power lifting match. Lebron barreling down the court in 2014 is not impressive in an era where the paint is empty and defense can't even breath on you.
Is he a big strong guy, yes. Is he the epitome of athleticism in basketball. No. Not by far. He is still clumsy and his fundamentals lack in so many areas.
I've watched Barkley barrel down the court just as fast. I've watched the Mailman bulldoze his way into the paint when the paint actually had players standing in it waiting for you.
I've seen Darrly Dawkings slam it on everyone's head and smash backboards while he did it.
I've watched a 200 pound Jordan dunk over more players than Lebron ever will. And he moved with more finesse and speed than Lebron ever has.
I've watched a charismatic Magic finesse his way down the court and it felt like magic. Hence his name.
I've watched A.I flow and breeze by players standing at just 6' tall.
So don't sit here and say muscles and speed and strength is what makes him the most athletic like no one else has ever had that.
This is basketball.
This is not a bodybuilding contest. His muscles and height do not make him the most athletic basketball player ever just because.
I have reoccurring dreams to this day about seeing the Orland Magic in the Shaq & Penny era. As a kid from the UK in the 90’s there was nothing else in the universe I wanted to see more.
I still argue Penny is the 2nd best PG in NBA history, behind Magic Johnson. I just love the tall, athletic player.
As big of a Penny fan as I am I'd love to agree but when you have players like Stockton it's hard to argue his numbers
Celicagame13 The deciding number for me is height, 6'7 vs. 6'1. I just like a tall PG.
+TheSWFuniverse Ok so Penny was better than Jason Kidd, Gary Payton, John Stockton, Isiah Thomas, Oscar Robertson, Steve Nash, Nate Archibald AND Jerry West? I think not.
+Coach Kidd Agreed, but he had the potential to be right there in the mix of the great NBA PG's. Without the injuries likely a top 5 pg all time just like Grant Hill would have been a top 5 SF of all time, no?
when penny was at his best, he had the passing skills of magic johnson to go with the scoring ability of michael jordan. had he stayed healthy, penny would've certainly been in the mix with those guys as one of the best pg's of all time
90s better ever
Man Penny's game was SO pretty. Head above shoulders in talent compared to the competition.
It's always exciting watching Shaq.
Aside from Shaq, I forgot how great of a passer Penny was. He was dropping dimes. Obviously he could score so that goes without saying. He was special.
I'd love to see a player like Penny in this day and age.
...Ben Simmons?
@@jbo_5357 can NOT score nowhere near as effectively as Penny
Penny never reached his prime, and he never got to play with a prime Shaq either. Shaq and Kobe were great, yeah. They were together at the right time. We can't say the same for Shaq and Penny. Yet and still they did the damn thing.
Yes bruh so many people say "Penny got hurt during his prime" he never reached his prime got hurt his 3rd year in the league and was never the same
Combination of sick pass & sick dunk,what else can u possibly imagine?
These two went to the finals their second season together now that's a great duo to bad they didn't stay together. The reason I play 2k
Happy belated birthday Penny! Old school Magic fans still miss your game.
If shag stayed they would have won at least 2 titles
If Shaq stayed after MJ retired in 98, they would've definitely owned the East. And most likely, Penny wouldn't get injured from doing all by himself since Shaq is still with them.
Hardaway and shaq win a championship shaq would never leave Orlando
The dynasty that never was....shame. How many teams had 2 Dream Teamers who were also TWO first team ALL NBA.
still holds true! lol...dang 5 years
What could’ve been! I can only imagine. This duo will always be the could’ve been. Like that street legend that never got a shot.
The most impressive part of that just might be Penny losing Mugsy Bogues in a 94 feet press. Mugsy used to retire big guards who thought they could play point guard.
most pt guards back then said mUggs was the hardest to advance the ball up court on
Kobe Bryant have Penny Hardaway rings
Beautiful
Embiid and Simmons should watch this. They remind me of Penny and Shaq.
Embiid is actually my favorite big today, but shaq just controlled games more than any big has since. simmons i like too, but he can't pass and shoot like penny yet. hopefully in time, would be great for the philly fans :)
Penny was the first big pg that brought the ball up the court facing the defender and not turning his back trying hide the ball or using his body as a shield. It didnt matter if you where a shorter quicker guard he was never scared because he had handles.
They are the best!
Penny and Shaq were great together. And it’s a shame those Magic teams had such a short shelf life.
Amazing duo and video
5:37-39 that was siiiiiiiick paaassss
i just realized shaq played with 3 of the greatest shooting guards to ever play....... Penny Kobe Wade
the magic only made penny a shooting guard because shaq left and they had no one who could create offense for themselves. remember that team and coach were bottom dwellers without shaq and penny. the penny story is sad. he should have stayed a point guard. magic johnson wouldn't have been in the debate for GOAT if they had moved him to shooting guard. I'm a laker fan, but still, I've done my homework on magic, I remember in the 90s the debate was magic or jordan as goat, even as jordan was retiring. then espn picked one and ran with it so everybody carries the same thought today. I don't think magic getting aids and playing less seasons helped him win that espn debate either >
Shaq playing was entertainment guarantee DUNK blocks damciy guy was special
My favorite video of yours mostly because these two were my favorite growing up. No Jordan, Bird or Magic. Give me the actual Orlando Magic
Penny was sharrrrrrp game was on another level complete package
Shaq and Penny had so much potential , I wish they played together a little longer , strongly believe they wouldve gotten a championship. wistiti93420 I'd be interested in seeing a Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp video , that would be dope.
i made this ....i hope you will enjoy it ;)
10 THOUSAND
Shaq should've been patient and stayed in Orlando he could've had as many rings or maybe more.
Some of the most entertaining basketball ever played--Dude….and on the Parkay floor???!
Excellent! Good Work
Shaq at that size had more mobility
I think they have better chemistry than Lebron Wade
Hell yea
Penny and Shaq was Hell
Back when the magic were a respected franchise
Loved the video you have two backboard angles that I've never seen before Penny's dunk on a Pacers player and the other in Golden State behind the back pass to Shaq.
thank you
Penny is MAGICal !
Shaq and Penny and Kemp Payton
Kids nowadays doesn't even have a clue of how good Penny was before the injury. My favorite player and one of the best ever.
Pg: Hardaway
Sg: Mcgrady
Sf: Tercoglu
Pf: Howard
C: O' Neal
Grant Hill without the injury
These 2 on NBA JAMS ....unstoppable...especially the arcade version
Thank You. That was a great team. What a shame they coudn't beat the Houston.
great vid man..your vids are the best !!!
Was too young to see this duo in their prime but It’d be great if Shaq and Penny teamed up again for Ice Cube’s Big3 league!!
NBA BEST PASSERS OF ALL TIME: Ervin "Magic" Johnson,Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway,"Pistol " Pete Maravich (classic,before Magic)and Jason "White Chocolate" Williams. (do ya'll remember him?)
I agree with all those, but would add Rondo, CP3, Stockton, Kidd and Jokić
No J. Kidd? Oscar Robinson, Isiah Thomas? Steve Nash?
Penny was unreal. Shame what injuries did to him.
People just don't know how big Penny was back then.
Shaq 💥😘😘😘🌹
I agree
If Penny stayed healthy, he and Shaq could have won as much if not more than Shaq and Kobe
看他們倆打球就是爽～
Need a new category.-- maybe somebody the most ENTERTAINING basketball Ever played?!!!! Yeah think So this is a premonition of what could be
Damn you Shaq
I thought of Penny as a Michael/Magic amalgam skillset wise. Height wise Penny was an inch taller than Jordan but an inch smaller than Magic.
Great moments for Penny & Shaq it sucked that they couldn't win a championship together when they faced off against the Bulls and lost to them in the finals :( if they played much longer they could had won a championship together
maybe after MJ retirment only
A Grant Hill Pistons video would be great too! wistiti93420
Never forget they beat the Bulls with MJ.
Reminds me of the early 2000 sacramento kings
Nice vid once again! How far is that Larry Bird video from being released? I cant wait for that!
its in production bro ;)
The young penny could jump
🙏 som ven-set raasclot a rive
Shoulda called Penny “the surgeon”
I even call myself Penny
Shoulda stayed together
Makes me sick thinking how great Penny could've been, dominating the NBA from day one.
(Healthy) Penny & Shaq could've won 4 to 5 championships in the late 90s/Early 00s
True
90年代禁區真是猛 灌籃都超帥 1993--1995
If the Timbs ain't on deck you know the Penny's iz.
Great video and soundtrack .. Sounds like a beat id make .. Lmk ill do some soundtracks for u if u wit it .. Penny was always my fav all time baller
u do beats bro
I came here after watch “This Magic Moment”.
If nick anderson just makes one of those free throws ....
Epic fale
if only shaq stayed with Orlando probably they could have destroyed the bulls dynasty and create there own. nice move shaq, thank GOD. :)
lol .... no they dont .... Bulls swept them in 96 hardly and made a 3 peat after .... maybe in 1999 if shaq not moved in LA but not before sorry .
I AGREE!The Magic would have had at least 5 Championships.
+wistiti93420 99? Shaq bounced from Orlando in 96. In fact it was the same day TWA Flight 800 fell from the sky. I still remember it like it was yesterday
i know .... i said if he wait 3 more years in Orlando
wistiti93420 gotcha
在那個年代 【如果】沒有像神一班的Jordan出現，我想Hardaway早就搭配著Onel拿下總冠軍了 國中時期好愛好愛看Hardaway比賽.....
Sam Mitchell dunked on by Penny and coached the team. Kobe dropped 81 on lol
3 seasons together, 1 finals
Whispered 77 Unfortunately these two great players fought over the spotlight down in Orlando which was the case with a lot of those players in the 90s too much bickering among teammates.
history has taught us that a team whose 3rd best player is dennis scott (like a kyle korver today), with NO BENCH (they had a coach filling in as backup center), expansion team, whose role players are allergic to playing defense, and who has a coach as bad as brian hill, has no shot of winning a championship. but at the time, their second year together, coming in as rookies, shaq and penny were so good they made you think they could win it all. and they should have won, their role players just sabotaged them too much and they gave up, not mature enough as young players.
for perspective... it took durant, harden, and westbrook (arguably 3 of the 4 best in the nba today) 5 years together to make the finals coming in as rookies. the shaq and penny magic was an amazing thing i don't think is possible to ever see replicated, which is a bummer for newer nba fans. just imagine if they would have won that first championship. as a laker fan, i had the consolation, when shaq came the only debate was "how many titles are we going to win?", and shaq hadn't even hit his prime yet.
It is underselling a bit that the team was bad, and incorrect that Scott was the team's third best player (that would have been Nick Anderson). The lineup of Hardaway, O'Neal, Grant, Scott, and Anderson was really good at the time and one of the most versatile ones with players that could shoot the three well (Anderson, Scott), attack the basket and create their own shots (Hardaway, Anderson), be a threat from the mid range (Grant), and dominate inside (O'Neal). Similarly that lineup was no slouch on defense. The team always ranked high in blocks (O'Neal, Grant), steals (Hardaway, Anderson), and ironically had their worst defensive season of that era the year they made the finals.
With that said I wholeheartedly agree with you on what I always considered to be the Magic's biggest Achilles heel: the bench. When you best player coming off the bench is Brian Shaw you have a problem, and the moment Anderson, Grant, Penny, Shaq, and Dennis came off the court the team had trouble sustaining leads or making much of an impact. Funnily enough that kept happening even into the McGrady/Hill era of the team (though credit to Doc Rivers for making something out of nothing in the '99-00 season and almost making it into the playoffs with a team consisting essentially of reserves).
Who knows. If Nick shoot the free throw, maybe they got a 95th title
How about that move on Starks omg!!!
Shaq and healthy Penny were good, but Shaq and Chris Webber would have been unreal.
6:45
that is one of the best full court pressure on ball defenders you will see and he cross him up and blows by him
we make such a big deal about Jason Kidd and what a great player
Grant Hill and Penny were so much better they got screwed with injuries.
kobe can't pass like penny.......almost like magic.........
I am Lakers fan.... Penny was more willing passer, he had more ability than Kobe...Penny before injuring was a combination of MJ & Magic
Kobe is a scorer.
I rock foam galaxies. Why you think?
Great video..... The East was dominated by Jordan's bulls and the Pistons. Shaq had to get out of that conference.
@ 6:45 poor Mugsy..
4:25 the same move T-Mac did
i had that shoes at 3:20
SHAQ KURWIL FAJNE ATOMY ELO
what is the opening sound?
