How strong and smooth was Penny?!?! Without his knee injuries, he probably would have been the best NBA player after MJ, in the 90's.
Hakeem and Shaq said hell no
@@elbowgang9715Hakeem and Shaq were two big centers, very strong and powerful of course, but not beautiful, spectaculer and elegant to watch like MJ and Penny.
Without Shaq and all the defensive pressure coming down on him, he never proved himself and got injured. Grant Hill was already better than him in year 2. even though he is also a could've been.
@@pyeuneu Hill has never even made it to the quarter-finals of the playoffs with his Pistons, and in any case all the greatest basketball experts and journalists have always considered him inferior to Penny. Jordan himself, before Bryant exploded, always considered Penny his heir, he always said so in interviews at the time. After all, just watch any video on youtube to see how much stronger Penny was than Hill.
@@patrickbateman3488 I completely disagree as I have watched prime Hill tear prime Penny up head to head many times. And honestly you think Orlando had success because of penny was the main guy??? You think kobe won three peat because he was the man??? Penny had two good years and lot of hype and that's it. At least hill had five good years...
MJ has said that Penny was the best player coming up after him.
Penny was better than him !
@@rodneymckinnon9075It was close. But I can confirm that there were many who believed he was during those years.
Humble dude, too. Real talented.
@@rodneymckinnon9075 nahh not even close
Penny Hardaway and Ken Griffey Jr. Every 90s kids favorite athletes
Good ol 90s
Yeah man. I miss those times. I truly honestly feels sports in general have regressed since then.
Still my favorite player ever penny !
Penny and AI by far 💯💥
Really miss those days!
That was real basketball
PENNY WAS ABSOLUTELY SWEET..
5:10 I'm not sure I've ever seen a player wave off a teammate with prime Jordan defending him. Penny Hardaway was THAT talented.
Dominique Wilkins did it on a regular
@@markfloors6988 not true
@@randywatson6583 Your right, Dominique never waved off a teammate when a prime Jordan was on him, his teammates knew Jordan could not hold or stop him, so his teammates never bothered insulting him with Jordan covering him (as if he needed help when he had the ball 😂)
@@markfloors6988 show me proof. Gtfoh
@@randywatson6583 Dude...this is CZcams, just look up Dominique vs Jordan, or Atlanta Hawks vs Chicago bulls 80's, any video you see of both, sometimes Dominique scores more than Jordan
A long time ago, best players from both teams would defend against each other. Today, best player would guard any random player to avoid foul troubles... Life goes on...
😂
Yep I remember Jordan vs Hakeem going head to head ...wait 😮 no I don't lol
Watch Penny vs Kobe and Penny vs Tmac. This dude was mad skilled and an amazing all around player..
Dude was as talented as anyone
If you watch Penny vs Kobe, you're gonna see young Kobe give him that WORK!!!!
Memphis all day,
Anfernee Hardaway Definitely Is A Legend 🙌
Man penny scoring on Jordan ass with ease but y'all say Jordan is better than pippen defensively Jordan got torched fadeaway after fadeaway on Jordan 😂 if penny had a chance to reach his prime he would have been scary offensively
jordan got the chip that year by sweeping them
Bum ass Jamal Mashburn once scored 50 pts on Pippen! There is no shame in Penny having his way. The man could of been one of greatest ever without injuries.
Preach bro !
Did you watch the full game live? we did. Actually, the Magic were 3-1 and the Bulls were 3-0 before tip-off. This game was the only game the Magic won from here on out against the Bulls that year. I think it also rolled over all the way into 1998. This is the game Penny said it pissed Mj off and the Magic never won again including the sweep in the ECF 1996. 72-10 that year. It goes to show you how close the Bulls could have won 75 games that year. close losses. This is also the game MJ played not so well. Every game after that Mj dominated Penny. Penny was no slouch! loved his game! unfortunately, he and Hill injuries definitely kept him out of the top 10.
@hainavidotcom
Another thing I will add is hardaway is 24 and mj is 32. Put mj 24 vs hardaway 24. Don't compare. Mj was jumping higher, more athletic and more defensive minded.
I'm from Penny's era, I think some people don't realize how nice Penny was, after magic Johnson, Penny was the next 6,9ish, pg who could shoot, pass, dribble, he could shoot better than magic Johnson though, quicker, more athletic, I've always believed had he not got injured, and stayed with Shaq the majority of his career, he'd had been a top 5 player of all-time, dude was special
Penny was great not putting him down bro but no way he would end up to 5 all time. If you believe that then you have to put Kobe top 4 the least then.
@@verz3649You have no idea what you're talking about. Penny hardaway was first team all NBA twice in his first 3 years as a pro. That's insane. Kobe wasn't on that level. Penny would have been an all-time great and definitely top five.
@Andre14615 100%. These kids just don't know man... if only he never got injured...
Penny would have been IT after MJ. Unfortunately, Orlando is a cursed franchise.....ask Grant Hill & T-Mac.
@@Andre14615 Maybe Top Ten or Top 15….Too many other greater players in the Top Ten
Call it exactly what it is.
Penny was balling on the GOAT. If Penny wouldn’t have gotten injured he was going to be extraordinarily good.
D Rose and Grant Hill make that list as well.
My favorite player in the 90s when Jordan left penny was a breath of fresh air not just for us Memphis natives but basketball fans around the world
On this day penny hardaway was the best player in the world. Mike took that title back when they played a month later but on this day penny was the man
So what you think Lebron would of did to Jordan if penny was abusing him physically lol. Jordan rarely had to defend a guard with athleticism and skill in the 90’s or 80’s. Clyde Drexler was the 2nd best shooting guard in that era and he’s now Irrelevant in conversation of best shooting guards of Alltime. Lol. Penny was so raw/young. Imagine Kobe in his prime against Jordan or Bron hmm 🤔 Jordan definitely wouldn’t have 6 rings
If phil was coaching Orlando, the bulls lose !!
@@mauriceanderson1583 LOL this was one game. MJ and the Bulls smoked Orlando later that post season. SMOKED!
@@mauriceanderson1583Let me put this into perspective.
Penny averaged 20.1 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 11 games versus MJ in his career.
MJ averaged 26.5 points, 6.6 rebounds and 5.1 assists in 11 games versus Penny in his career.
Try again
@@Dads1stTime let me out this into perspective.
Penny was still young and Jordan was in his prime so those 11 games you mentioned that’s the equivalent of been bragging about beating my lil toe 12 year old nephew while he’s still young and I’m a grown A** adult 🤣🤣
The look Penny gives MJ after Mike makes his second three-pointer (in response to Penny's 3) was priceless. You could clearly see that the two of them were gonna go at it all game.
when i was young peny hardaway is my first idol.
I was born in 1981 and I remember vividly how Penny was being called “the next guy” after MJ retired to play baseball, and then he came back. Myself and all my friends had Penny jerseys and the shoes. He was that highly regarded. Kids wanted to be like him. That 90s era was just special. It’s hard to describe. But the amount of TALENT and the epic feeling of seeing all these great players go at one another was the stuff that you talked non-stop at school or the barbershop with friends and family. I just don’t get that same feeling watching the NBA today. It’s rather boring and tedious to watch basketball today. No defending, less attacking into the paint, etc. Just teams shooting from mid and long range. No variety. The 90s was really special.
wow Hardaway was a great player
He was the only guard, that if he didnt get injured, couldve given MJ that work.
Penny gave Jordan that work! 😂
He did. 🤷🏾♂️
Something Kobe never did when Mike was in his prime.
@@manofaith75 facts
@@manofaith75????
@@manofaith75 Kobe played 2 seasons in the nba while Jordan was in his prime, Kobe was 18 and 19 years old. Why would it make sense to compare him to Kobe when Penny was 5 years older at least 🤔
Shocking that a Bulls team with MJ, Pippen and Kukoc couldn’t stop a Penny-led Magic team. All-NBA 1st Team Penny could do whatever he wanted against any team. He should’ve been an all-time great.
He is, even if the world don't say so !!!
If they had taken care of shaq's contract & Had a better coach they would matured and beat everybody
When you posting up
mj and pip you damm good they definitely wasn't used to that
Because they exposed weak players !
Anfernee was that guy!! still my favorite player, Michael Jordan knew Penny was so cold he wore a pair of penny’s shoes. Go look it up only player in history beside his own Air’s lol respect
If riley or phil was coaching the Magic, they win the chip !
5:08
Ayyoooo!!! Penny was COOKING Mike this night!!!
Jordan wore the penny shoes against him.
Imagine that
No cap my guy penny was torturing Michael
the other way around was much more often tho
Torturing then got swept lol
@@NotAnAstronaut2k kid? No, Im dam near 50 ok been there . Now if you read carefully I am responding to the guy in this section who said “no cap my guy penny was torturing Michael “ and then that’s when I responded the way I did. Cmon man I freaking saw this whole series. Been watching basketball since 82.
AMAZING! MY FAVORITE 90S PLAYER APART FROM JORDAN
Penny’s game was smooth like butter
penny was so magical. Magic legitimately should be blamed for the 96 season by the bulls. not sure if jordan wore anyone elses shoes but a man with his own line of shoes wearing pennys is definately saying something about penny.
Penny was gifted and he couldn't be stopped !
He knew penny gave him the business !!
Penny was very mature in the game his early careers and despite be so young compared with other superstars. The way he faced MJ and Pippen demonstrate this statement. Just imagine if the team owner take care of him at his early stage of his career how much his careers would change it.
Preach bro, MJ was wearing penny sneakers $
What does the team owner have to do with his career detailing injuries?
@@Barak144 A team owner always put their eyes in every aspect of the life on one of the most precious assest. A team owner do not only look number beacuse that's a business man. A owner it's more than a business man. It's a chief, savior, Doctor, priest, family business man and create any risk response against any threat or risk like Penny physical aspect that he has back on the days.
Penny might have the most under rated handle of all time.
I still remember 16 year old me watching this game over my buddies house with a bunch of friends. First time i ever saw the black bulls jersey.
Penny gave mike that work especially 5:20
People does want to say Tmac was better than Penny but they never saw how effortless Penny game really was. He was that good and confident. His defense was underrated as well.
I would say Tmac is a better scorer than penny.
If those 2 were on the same team .....wow !!!
As a kid, I learned NBA off with Penny first, before MJ. All because of Lil' Penny commercial 😅 silky smooth player
Penny simply entered the league like Jordan, he could play with the best of them early but Jordan finally won it all and Penny fell short to injuries.
Exceptional game from Penny!! Love that!! I guess that Jordan somehow admired this player!! For some reason the Bulls must have lost against the Magic in 1995 NBA ECF. Faboulous Penny!! Real love for Penny. I feel melancholic about this. Penny was simply outstanding against Jordan
MJ struggled with big guards, hence why Scottie was essential. The guards today almost all play like Penny
The Bulls didn't lose to the Magic in the ECF...It was the second round.
These young people today will NEVER understand. LeBron is great,...but Jordan was like Michael Jackson Lol. EVERYONE watched whenever Jordan was on TV playing. We just HAD to see him, no matter who the Bulls played.
FACTS! 💯
Not me !
I loved watching this!
Silky smooth Penny. Other than MJ, he was the second best that I always wanted to watch.
Penny was that dude. Sick post up game. Rarely establishes his pivot foot. Bulls swept them in the playoffs later that year lol
I collected his card when i was a kid. Good all days 😅
Easy hall of famer for Penny if it wasn’t for the knee issue he didn’t take time off and rushed back.
I remember this game as a lil kid
tha bizniss -- memphis vet 👑
What lock down defense, penny lit Jordan up
Preach bro !
GOAT MJ VS LITTLE MJ legendary mach ever.
Que lástima que Penny se lesionara tan joven..tenía tanto que dar ahún. Sin dudas habría estado entre los mejores del mundo junto a MJ KB MJ LB etc..
Penny was cold!
I remember shaq saying that Penny was better than Kobe?🤔😳
He alluded to it
Penny was better and still unstoppable with his basketball IQ he already had those knee surgeries Kobe still couldn't guard him when Lakers played Penny and Jason Kidd in the playoffs Penny was too long too explosive too court savvy and his ball handling skills and all around game was out of this world he was 6'7 but still had freakish hops
@@ThatboiWaterz Kobe was more complete offensively and Penny wasn’t a elite defender like Kobe
Still waiting for these to re-release the white penny 1
Healthy Hardaway, in his prime, was better than Kobe. I remember watching those Orlando Magic teams when my favorite player Shaq came into the league. There is nothing Penny could not do that Kobe could not do. The only difference was Penny was a little taller, longer, had much bigger hands, was a better three-shooter, and was a much better passer.
And Kobe was a better defender and winner
Penny game was was way better than kobe's !!
Injuries happened before he reached his prime, and once his athleticism was caput, so was his prime years. He was average after his 3rd surgery inside of a year in 1997, which was the dreaded microfracture one that robbed him of his prime.
@@assaniase8638exactly. Yes Penny was THAT DAMN GOOD! But I’m not putting Penny over Kobe as the better 2 way player
Facts
Without shaq 😎
One thing about Penny he could play point guard run plays and the floor he could play as shooting guard and or a small forward dude was good in his prime
Those first Penny Nikes were the hardest Nikes I ever owned in history of Nikes… just a fun fact
Penny would’ve been at Top 15 player if he stayed healthy
Nahn with that skill he portrayed in this game easily top ten or even top five maybe higher with that skilled he displayed against mike upper echelon lockdown d he had tremendous skill even better than Kobe one on one with Mike. Eye test Kobe could never do that against Mike even in his wizards years yet alone96 thru 98🚫🧢yap
@@joshuapigott6267 Kobe dropped 50 on Mike wit the Wizards and 38 of the bench against Mike and Scottie his 2nd season if Harris wouldn’t have taken Kobe out he would’ve dropped 50 then. They both owned the Bulls
@@marioweaver4097dude the bulls beat the team that swept kobe in 98
If not for the knee injuries if Penny would had continued in this direction, he would had become the greatest point guard in the game. He could do it all. Jordan and Pippen had nothing for him.
All- Star players with God given talent, have always been unstoppable when guarded by MJ & Pippen !
good video I'm always an forever be a #lakers4life R.I.P Mamba...😔
with that being said Penny was cooking Mike 🤣 but what ha' damn shame tha boy got injured might not been a Chicago 3peat 🤔
Penny was not beating the Bulls injuries or not. Are you forgetting Shaq left in 96 after they got swept?
Was that one of the Bulls' 10 defeats in the whole season? 😮
Penny was the best player on the court that night
Believe that Penny was no Joke
5:10 penny was so talent geeez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That spin move 5:15
I love this matchup
Mj can’t guard Penny. Simple. Imagine if it were someone bigger, stronger, and faster.
what's not on the highlight. Penny-12 for 18 shooting, MJ 8 for 20 shooting.
Jordan hit more buzzer beater threes than anyone I can remember.
Bro nobody really talks about how Penny use to get Mike the works when they matched up!! Let Everytime he gave him the business!!
Penny so cold
people who never suited up and had injuries that need surgeries will never understand... played college ball 4 knee surgeries and pin in my left shoulder...
I miss this era. Too many primadonna's these days.
Magic and Hornets.. wow .. not sure why they come to mind when it comes to early 90s basket ball. Miss these days
It was The first and The Last Time Of This season that penny and The magic beat MJ and The Bulls. 3-1 for the Bulls during regular season and 4-0 for the Bulls during The NBA playoffs east conference finals.
The famous Historical 72-10 season Of The Chicago Bulls.
Ill take Mj anytime…but a healthy Penny was scary
My top 5 players is Jordan, Kobe, Penny, Bird Magic
Hakeem

Debut of the black jerseys
Por peny me compre mis primeros tenis caros de nike,, eran los de el.. Los ame tanto y me gustaban tanto q me duraron más de 5 años y recuerdo q no los quería tirar 😂😂😂😂
For a minute it was looking like Penny along with Shaq were that new wave but Mike wasn’t having that. This was early in the 95-96 season. The Bulls & MJ would hit their stride a week or so later and the rest is history.
The Magic Owner created that mess, they didn't want to pay shaq and didn't want the chip !
The 'Pinstripe' Alternate Jerseys was the Bulls main goal, to eliminate them in the East.
The stripes looks like Magic Jerseys as Bulls eliminated in ECF in 1995.
It was their 'Revenge' season, 1996.
The Orlando magic floor be the cleanest penny had that innocent face with a sick game with the sickest Nike airs
Nall that was a blocking foul on Scottie he got there late
Penny w/ his fine, legendary self. Just graceful. We all know what Mr. Jordan did so no need to pick it apart. The good ol' days. I was 10 years old when this aired.
Nobody’s gonna talk about how penny exposed Jordan in this game? 💀💀💀
It goes both ways 😉😊
Theryre both awesome players
bruh you talking about one game van exel and eddie jones was giving jordan and pippen that work when they played the lakers
What happened in the playoffs that year?
Did u watch when they got swept by the Bulls later that season in the playoffs
If it Bleeds, it can Die - Penny Hardaway
Of all the "What ifs" in NBA history Penny Hardway imay be the saddest. Had ne not blown out his knees he could have been a top 25 player all time I think. And had the Magic fumbled resigning Shaq they could have been the nest dynasty after the Bulls. Guys made the finals when they were both in their early 20's ffs.
Not after, they would be sharing the chip !
I guarantee you I watched this game (after what happened in the playoffs? I was in front of my TV bro) but I didn't remember a damn thing about it until I saw this video so thanks.
"MJ didn't guard the best players"
MJ was a SG and wanted that challenge, and answered back multiple times.
1995 Penny would smoke 95% of the league today
Penny, like D. Rose...could have changed a lot of things, if Not for the injuries...
PENNY! My guy
Literally the only player I’ve ever seen give Jordan problems in Jordan’s prime not a crossover or something but could actually really get to Jordan was Penny.
Not Iverson,Not Kobe,Not Barkley nobody could realy make Mike bite like Penny.
FACTS! ✌👍💪
Add Grant Hill to that list, please and thank you.
@@Wyndamn Naw bro.Grant Hill was ill but he didnt work Mike like Penny did.You might see grant have a nice game against Mj you know do a couple moves on him.
But Penny,literally gave Mike that work for a whole series straight even when the Bulls beat the Magic in 96’,Penny was giving Mike that work.Mike was busting Penny ass too but Penny was right back at him.We’ve never seen any player do that to Mj in his prime.
@@kenzoblytheproducertv4934 aight I can't lie , you make a damn good point 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
@@Wyndamn Fam and this coming from a stan of Mj lol.I thank Mj the greatest basketball player of the greatest era.I always say that.I cant say he hands down the greatest because i didnt see Wilt,Bill Russell,Jerry West,Oscar Robertson,Pistol Pete etc play.But everything after Magic/Bird till now,i seen them all and Mj still the Goat lol.But Penny good grief,if he didnt get the luck of injuries.I really believe after he got another star and some better role players after Shaq bounced he would’ve won multiple chips and finals mvps fam.
that's the kind of PG we talking abt. not someone that can only shoot threes and claim to be best pg...

Penny was the real deal. Epic shame he was cut down with injuries.

Penny Hardaway definitely would have been a top 75 Hall of Fame player if it wasn't for the injuries.
Penny hubiera sido la contraparte de Jordan pero le dieron todo los focos a Jordan ese fue el gran error q hicieron q acaparara todo prensa juego mundo y todo es esquema
