Penny couldn't hold Grant Hill's jock strap...no disrespect to penny cuz he was an allstar

but we are talking about Elite players..Hill was up there with the Elite..

Penny was 1st team All NBA back then.That's considered top 5

When it comes to Grant & Penny, I don't think one was that much better than the other.

It's like trying to choose between Kyrie Irving or John Wall today.

Back then, Grant & Penny were two crazy talented young guys who were predicted to take over the league once the previous generation of stars (MJ, Barkley, Malone, Dream, Pip etc) began to fade out.

watching g hill makes me feel better about rose taking the entire year off. its remarkable the difference after hill rushed back from that foot injury. just was never the same elite player.

Penny was all nba 1st team and top 3 in the MVP voting in 1996.

He was up there with the "elite"

A.I was like a real life 2k cheesier though...turbo all day spamming steals forcing all his dribble moves shyt was ridiculous especially young iverson

Choosing between kyrie or wall? That's a no brainer. Wall isn't on Kyrie's level

I can't say that.IMO, Wall at the end of last year looked like a top 5 player.He was killing it that last month.


Kyrie is smoother out there, though.Aesthetically, his game is better.

But as far as effectiveness, Wall is right there with him.

I'm expecting Wall to throw out something like 24 7 and 6 this year.

Bump this in April

I can understand that...I think Grant HIll was by far a better player and the 1st team is a bit overrated. Grant should have been a multiple year selection but obviously he was up against the Scottie Pippens and Jordans .
