this is Penny before for the injuries, he had all a 6'7 guard who can handle like a small guard, was great athlete , a great vision, passing, playmaker. he also was underrated defender he had good to great post game.. what if
In this era I would take penny 10 times out of 10 over AI or any other guard at that time. His size made him a the most versatile guard. He was posting up AI like a middle schooler, but he did that to most guards then. In the mid 90s Penny really could do it all.
Wow that interview really foreshadowed the troubles the league would experience toward the end of the 90s. With Penny and Grant Hill derailed by injuries there werent undisputed torchbearers to delay the me-first Starburies. Penny, and I'm sure others too, saw it early.
@Ausar AmenRa I BET THAT PENNY COULD FUQ U UP ONE-ON-ONE BACK THEN & NOW THOUGH!! PLUS, A.I. NEVA BEAT JORDAN IN A PLAYOFF SERIES LIKE PENNY & CO. DID NIQQA, DESPITE HIM HAVING JS A FEW REGULAR SEASON GAMES TUCKED UNDER HIS BELT AGAINST THA' T.B.E! #USHOULDTHINKABOUTIT!
+Arsen Akopyan Damn, u said a mouthful on that one. Truth of the matter is (however) AI won hearts after that MVP season. He showed what he could do with the right team behind him. As I've said before it's not his fault Shaq was on the other team.
+Arsen Akopyan 76ers were a bad team when they got rook ai, hence the top draft pick. reasonable that stack wanted to leave. you would be delusional to believe that bosh had no clue that James wasn't comming to Miami. back then players didn't have the ability to decide where they wanted to play, instead the actual gm had full autonomy. now players can band together to form super teams even before gms think about it.

+ Arson Hakobyan. That Magic squad in the mid-90s had a deep line-up. They lost to the Rockets mainly because of inexperience not just from their two stars, but the HC was also inexperienced. Brian Hill I would say was a decent coach, if they had a more component coach, let's say Chuck Daily they wouldn't have constantly been swept in the playoffs. Of course Penny doesn't compare to Jordan because he was only in this third year as a pro. And yes the Bulls did sweep the Magic in 96, but Horace Grant did get injured in the 1st game (Grant was trying to set up a screen and his arm got caught in-between Shaq and Pippen) which was a huge blow. If Horace was able to play in that series, I would say the Bulls would have still won but the Magic wouldn't have gotten swept. I think by 96 the Magic needed a new coach, but unfortunately Shaq left and Penny got injured. Penny Hardaway and the Orlando squad in the mid-90s is the biggest what if in basketball. If only Shaq stayed and Penny fully recovered from his injures.
@@JuniusR. Jordan unretired and came back to play in the NBA. That's more of the reason than it being Penny and Shaq stopping the Bulls that year in the playoffs. If Jordan doesn't retire, Penny and Shaq wouldn't have beaten the Bulls to advance to the chip.
For all youngters: notice how penny did not try to get into a dribbling duel with A.I. He simply used his height advantage over a.i. and scored on him in the post where ai was helpless. Thats why eventhough you are a guard you most still learn how to play every position on the floor.
@Dani DLF I was impressed, he knew it was gonna go out and his only option was to yell it in. I thought it was dope and so did the crowd. they even ahhh and clapped. Never seen such heart like that in a game. That right there is pure heart in physical form. nothing funny about it at all. Mad respect and a differnt IQ for the game.
Allen Iverson was never ever disrespectful to jordan & always treated him with the utmost adoration on & off the court, what they wanted to do was make ai bow down in submission & ai wanted to chart his own court & ot be ushered in by the conventional norm, his own style dress code etc, that's why he said i don't wanna be like mike, not to diss mike, but to assert his individuality to do things his way. Apparently that had never been done before & it scared some if not all ppl. If he had no talent & wasn't such a threat they wouldn't have cared what he said or did, but they wanted him to conform
I know people are probably gonna think that I'm hating but for some reason I really love his style of slashing to the hole and athleticism (Iverson) than Curry's constant three point shooting. All that 3 point shooting to me is just boring. I even loved Nash's game, and allot of other current point guard's, to me Curry is just a bore.
+Omar Jo But it wore AI out by the time he was at the tail end of his career he was worthless. Curry when he is at the tail end of his career will still be a deadly shooter.

It's painful to read so many basketball fans saying they'd prefer AI to Penny... Iverson was an incredible offensive player but he didn't understand the game. Penny always saw the whole game and made his teammates players. I'd play with Penny over Iverson any given day. Basketball is not fun when all you get to do is stand still and watch your teammate playing iso, even if you're winning. I really hope people can appreciate great players who likes passing the ball to his teammates. Guys like Penny, Brandon Roy, Pippen, Grant Hill, Duncan, Ginobili etc. are still under-appreciated.
better than magic johnson? are you kidding? magic johnson got five rings, 3 times final mvp, 3 times seasons mvp....the man who dominates the 80s with larry bird. thats a whole decade man.i am penny big fan but what has he done to justify that? i bet even you ask him he wouldnt think of it for a second.
yes iverson has incredible scoring ability and is probably best scoring point guard in the history. iverson has shown what a 6'0 man can do at the maximum. but then thats all he could do because his height just limits his defensive ability. its difficult for him to guard penny or any tall guard that he will have to shift duty. and if the opposition has two tall guards starting together then iverson is screwed. on the scoring end iverson is among the best, before him we would never dream of a scoring mvp for 6 feet only. but this is his ceiling.
since ever man ring defines greatness but im not talking abt being carried. being the main man to win ring thats what we called the champion. and thats all the past great players chasing for. its no point to win all the individuals awards if you cant lead your team to champions. if you dunno who magic and bird are, go look up and check out videos there are plenty on youtube. btw magic won his first ring in his rookie year and was finals mvp.
@Joseph Kony - child kidnapper WarLord Prophet Iverson never NEVER had Penny's skillset and talent. Penny made 1st team all-nba in his 2nd year as a pro. In his 2nd year year as a pro Penny was considered to be one of the best players in the league. In his 3rd year (95-96 year) Penny made 1st team all-nba again and was 3rd in MVP voting. In 3 years, Penny made 1st team all-nba X2. Iverson is not even fucking comparable to Jordan, Kobe, Wilt, or Olajuwon who the fuck are you kidding? So he had a block on Penny, so what? Penny post up game was still fucking good. And Penny wasn't injury prone, if you knew the TRUTH about Penny's injury you wouldn't say that. You don't know shit.
Allen Iverson is right “I don’t have to respect Michael Jordan” that man ain’t do nun for him. Onna sode note this was a fye ass match up I wish they would’ve been on the same team AI at the 1 Penny at the 2
6:45 It's funny that the commentator points out the foot shuffle upon catching the ball. Everybody in the NBA does this now and much more blatantly than McLean. It drives me nuts.
He did he probably had a michael jordan poster on his wall growing up...but the first words Michael Jordan ever said to him was "what's up .... You little bitch!" People forget just how ruthless MJ was
I was definitely sad that penny’s career was cut short. He was fun to watch back then. But AI stayed healthy and consistently grew to be one of the all time greats. 97 was a good year for ballers.
I've heard the opposite like Iverson arguing with Sixers front office over the trade, but all word of mouth stories anyways. Both were starting shooting guards however so it couldn't work.
+Cooley96 I never heard that one before, but that's definitely a lie. What I'm isn't word of mouth. First, AI and Stack's entourages got into it with each other outside of the Sixers practice facility. The team tried to downplay it to the media, but then later at a shootaround AI and Stack got into a fistfight. Stack kinda dissed him in the media. Then in the off-season Stack let the Sixers know he would not re-sign with the team, so they traded him. And AI told reporters the move was "better for him and better for us."
PRIME PENNY 1st glance had the length of a small forward with posture handles pen point passes of a pure point guard and a Sniper from beyond 3pt range. INJURIES derailed him from being the Coldest 2guard parrelle to kobe behind Jordan for the simple fact that he had a Point God mentality because he was the 1st Hybrid point guard that transitioned over to the 2spot and became even more of a matchup problem especially in the midpost after yr3 when Shaq first left Orlando.
Love ai and penny. Who would you take with you in a brawl? Ai! Who would you take with you to the four seasons to meet up with babes? Penny! Hard to choose
Yes AI is a unique & at one point of his career is great also. But for me greatness is with results.. And for some absurd comments by people saying that Ai is somewhat better than Mj just because he crossed him over is unacceptable. It's because Mj has done so many highlights that it became so normal that when people see one doing it to Mj, it was so great for them and will say that player is better.. That's how great Mj. Its a basketball game anyone can get caught off-balance even AI.
The reason people say he was somewhat better than MJ is because of what he accomplished with the team he had MJ had a all-star team he didn't have nothing and he took the Sixers to the finals I doubt very seriously MJ could've done that

penny has it wrong though. mj did it for himself, he paved the way but he did it for himself. and I confidently could say I choose ai over penny any day.
Penny was only healthy for 3 seasons from 93-96, his first 3 years in Orlando. In 3 years Penny made 1st team all-nba twice (both in 95 and 96), made the playoffs ever year even reaching the finals, and was 3rd in MVP voting during the 95-96 season. I would rather have a healthy Penny than AI.
i think penny hardaway is 100000000 better than iverson. penny was a team player also was a leader.people always compared him to jordan.the injuries blocks. his nba career however in his prime he showed his level and noby could defense him. iverson was good player but not like penny.thanks
Raul Morel you really think Penny was better than Allen Iverson are you crazy you better go look at some numbers & stats. Penny in his prime wasn't even better than Allen Iverson. Penny had a squad unlike A.I. he had to score at will. We seen A.I. max out his full potential unlike a Penny. It's a bunch of what ifs, example what if Penny didn't stay injured. If" if was a fifth we'd all be drunk so I know you drunk Raul Morel.
also people forget a.i had the third highest ppg average in nba history behind wilt and Jordan at 27.5 but then he went to Detroit and the rest was history
Penny was a big A.I. hater. He let the media goad him in speaking on another man's words instead of speaking to that man himself. He hated on A.I. when he got to Phoenix too, even though Iverson made him a victim in the playoffs during that lockout season. Sixers was a sixth seed, Magic was the third seed and A.I. overshadowed him. C'mon bruh.
Considering the fact that Penny Hardaway use to be my fav player before AI, he's made out of crochet paper and is a bum in comparison to AI. F Mj to. Who gets Steve Kerr to punch them in the face? Answer, egomaniac Mj & in comparison to ai if Mj was 5'11" and weighed 165 he would be a bum to. FOH, ai is one of the most exciting players to ever grace a basketball court!

blah blah A.I blocked penny's shot but pls check Penny in Suns uniform blocking A.I's fastbreak lay up
i think penny hardaway is 100000000 better than iverson. penny was a team player also was a leader.people always compared him to jordan.the injuries blocks. his nba career however in his prime he showed his level and noby could defense him. iverson was good player but not like penny.thanks
+Raul Morel first off they compared him to magic , second you high as a kite
Raul Morel you really think Penny was better than Allen Iverson are you crazy you better go look at some numbers & stats. Penny in his prime wasn't even better than Allen Iverson. Penny had a squad unlike A.I. he had to score at will. We seen A.I. max out his full potential unlike a Penny. It's a bunch of what ifs, example what if Penny didn't stay injured. If" if was a fifth we'd all be drunk so I know you drunk Raul Morel.
Penny isnt even a hall of fame material. Iverson has changed the game even Michael Jordan admires him.
if he didnt get injured he would be.....guy was all nba first couple seasons
also people forget a.i had the third highest ppg average in nba history behind wilt and Jordan at 27.5 but then he went to Detroit and the rest was history
Penny was a good player but what did average per game was he up their like AI
Penny could score at will but was more of a team player AI always looked for his shot first.
Penny was a big A.I. hater. He let the media goad him in speaking on another man's words instead of speaking to that man himself. He hated on A.I. when he got to Phoenix too, even though Iverson made him a victim in the playoffs during that lockout season. Sixers was a sixth seed, Magic was the third seed and A.I. overshadowed him. C'mon bruh.
Considering the fact that Penny Hardaway use to be my fav player before AI, he's made out of crochet paper and is a bum in comparison to AI. F Mj to. Who gets Steve Kerr to punch them in the face? Answer, egomaniac Mj & in comparison to ai if Mj was 5'11" and weighed 165 he would be a bum to. FOH, ai is one of the most exciting players to ever grace a basketball court!
