interesting interview with Penny Hardaway from 1996 vol. damn

You don't see interviews like that nowadays. Every player seem to say the same thing in every interview. Penny was that dude in the 90's along withGrant Hill. They were suppose to take the league into another level but too bad their injuries derailed their careers.

no one saying he was the best in the game when jordan was playing
 
Penny is in his prime before his injuries was appreciated. But at the same time back then in the mid 90's dude was getting comparisons and being called thenext Magic Johnson .

Anyone know what Penny is up to now? Is he playing somewhere in Europe ?
 
Penny was THAT dude in the 90's. He was one of, if not my favorite, player in the NBA back in the 90's.

I still have this thing in my room that I begged my pops for when I was really young.

true... I'm a Laker fan, and a Penny fan... when the Lakers got Kobe, i remember thinking that hopefully he will be as good as Penny

If it weren't for injuries, the 'torched' should have been passed from Jordan to Penny.. then Penny to Kobe. Like now we're seeing it passedfrom Kobe to LeBron.

watch the video one more time.
 
I still remember when I bought this issue of SLAM back in the day:

To bad he never did get his revenge and get back to the superstar level he once was at.

Here what SLAM said:

[h1]SLAM 30[/h1]

Penny Hardaway was coming off his worst season, as the injuries started the slow process of reducing him from top 5 to serviceable veteran player. He was supposed to come back better than ever, but he just wasn't explosive any more. There would be no revenge. This cover became foreshadowing for Grant Hill's Orlando career more than anything else.
