Penny was a monster and I don't think he reached what we would normally call a players prime either.

Sad part is 2nd and 3rd year penny was only scratching the surface, we never seen him in his prime ever!!

Plus comparing him to Cp3 is stupid, as they're both PG's but penny with his height was much more versatile and he didn't have the ball as much as Chris did since he had to share with Shaq.

Aside from injury, Penny's biggest downfall was his unselfishness. If he had the ball hog syndrome that Kobe & Jordan did his numbers and career would have been very different.

I agree with this.As much as people say Penny was "overrated" he was a underrated offensive player.

Could've easily been a 25+ ppg player easily/effortlessly

And as others have said, Penny was 1st team All NBA before he even reached his prime.

Do your research on Lebron.See who he said was his favorite player/player he tried to mimic the most. growing up.
