Penny Hardaway is the most talented PG of all-time...

No and I love Penny Hardaway. Dude had elite size but really his skillset was a better fit at the 2 than the 1.

I think it's between Penny & B Diddy. Penny wasn't as great of a defender as Diddy though.

I always say that the greatest crime to Penny, was when he was moved to the 2. That ended up minimizing most of the skills that made him special.

1. Magic
2a. Kidd
2b. Penny

Penny was my favorite basketball player before Kobe and the first I followed through college.

Magic had arguably the greatest vision ever that’s talent
He was 6’9 with a legit handle behind the back, spin moves, in and outs. This was the 80’s he was the only player with that height handling the rock like that(besides bird). Magic’s post game was a blend between worthy and Kareem. His footwork may not have been as fancy but he was much better on the block, you had no choice but to double magic on the block he was that effective. He was a great rebounder, that takes skill. One of the best at playing the passing lanes. Magic was so nice and so skilled that at 36 with 5 years off he was able to comeback mid season and average 14 6 and 7 off the bench, in under 30 minutes of game play.

DO YOU REALIZE HOW NICE YOU HAVE TO BE TO COME BACK AFTER 5 years
At the age of 36, 25 lbs heavier than your prime weight and still average 14 7 and 7

penny was nice but magic is on the goat tier only a handful of players matched his talent, skill, and dominance.

it’s a sad day when hoop fans are trying to downplay magic.

You have to ignore kids on this forum. Kids associate how fast you run and how high you can jump with how good of a basketball player you are. Kids don't know any better. No knock on guys like Penny & Tmac, they were really talented players. But you saw what happened to them once they got hurt and lost their athleticism. They were average at best from that point. That's the difference with Magic. Magic didn't need insane athleticism because he was a great BASKETBALL player. That's why he could come back at 36 y/o, out of shape and play at a very high level. Something Penny or Tmac could of never have done.

I would say the greatest crime was his injuries started to get their most worst just as he moved to the 2.

No, he’d be elite in any era tho.
