Penny Hardaway giving Kobe that work in the 2000 playoffs appreciation thread

[Big Boss]

Trade Shaq with Kidd and see the result as far as who won

Good point

Penny and Shaq never player with each other

 

[mastermind]

Kobe needs to stop being a p*ssy and knuckle up

KObe offered to shoot the 5 with Malone in 2005, and Malone backed down. It only became a thing once the story got out about how Malone backed down.

Excuse me Sir, before you leave this store do you mind providing a receipt to show proof of purchase?

We can find video of everyone in the NBA getting that work atleast once. Only Stan's who have emotional attachments to player's make a big deal out of it. Healthy Penny is unguardable anyway. I see what you were doing tho OP. Giving the Kobe groupies some reality because they pretend he never got killed in a matchup.

What does this have to do with the premise of this thread? It's a Penny vs. Kobe thread that saying Penny got the best of him in the playoffs , and he didn't.

Penny had Shaq and didn't win.

I agree although that was a different shaq in his defense.

Good point

hes saying shaq was a major factor. The difference maker. Not Kobe.

Penny was clearly better than Penny even back then even when his game had just started to decline.

[The_Third_Man]

They both averaged 21 pts. in a 4-1 series win for LA.

plus Penny was 29. Kobe was 22.

This is nonsense.Penny/Shaq went to the finals in only their 2nd/3rd seasons respectively.and faced one of the top 12 players of all time(Olajuwon).Had N.Anderson not choked at the FT line.Penny/Shaq would have won the title in 1995,jmo.

Did you see Pennys stats from the 95 finals in only his 2nd season at 23 years old ?:

25.5p/8a/4.8r/50%/46%/91%

Do people realize Penny had a TS% of 60% & EFG% of 55% in his 2nd & 3rd seasons ?.....That's just sick.

Do people realize that in Penny's first 4 seasons his "Per" was more than 80% of his USG rate:

"Per" to "Usage" Ratio
1st:17.4p-21.7u
2nd:20.8p-23.7u
3rd:24.6p-25.5u
4tt:21.4p-25.7u

His production was off the charts.Penny didn't have to take 20 shots per game to make an impact.He could do it within the flow of the offense,or takeover the game if needed.

Never said he wasn't a great player, I responded to the hypothetical post towards me with a reality post. He had Shaq and didn't win bottomline.

Good post but "top 12" is random as hell

 

[Wacky D]

Penny had Shaq and didn't win.

they were young as hell, and they still went to the finals in their 2nd/3rd year in the league.

this was the time period where they were supposed to be winning rings. the lakers rings belong in Orlando.

penny >>> kobe
and I aint even watch the video.

Top 12? How disrespectful?

Good post but "top 12" is random as hell
