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

[Swagnificent]

Yep

Penny's game had no flaws.

He could shoot, pass, handle, post game, athletic and played the other side of the ball.

And we never even saw his prime

My favorite player all time.

I tried to mimic my game to his, considering we're similar body types.

He was an all around beast, and I could watch those highlights all day every day.

Definitely one of the most aesthetic games in history.

I got into basketball right around the time he started getting injury problems (97-98) but he was still one of my favorite players. My top 4 favorite players back then were Jordan, Pippen, Grant Hill, and Penny. Loved watching all 4.

The most talented PG ever is the one that can shoot from 30 feet and got the ball on a string.

Kyrie is special

You got some video to back this up?

Do you have any to prove an uninjured Penny would be an ATG? Go watch Oscar. Plenty of footage of him(out of his prime)showing him hit long range jumpers and delivering in post season series. Things Penny never really showed us he could do or got a chance to do consistently. Hypotheticals have ceilings. We don't know how great Penny would have been. Just blindly putting him over so many other players potentially off 3 seasons of a prime Penny seems shortsighted.

He’s up there by that goes to the 6’9 cat named MAGIC

Kyrie is special

Not him

He’s a top 10 most talented PG though too bad he’s not a good team player.

The only advantages Magic has is being a stocky 6’9 230 lb. with big hands and being the best fast break passer ever.

Penny was a string-bean but had more skill and athleticism, one of the best we’ve seen in terms of footwork.

Penny was more athletic than Magic as well as being a much better scorer with more go to moves and better shooting ability. Magic's advantage as a passer can't make up for Penny's advantage over him athletically and as a scorer.

No

Penny was great player, but he his injuries started when he was 26 years old. Not very young. He didn't make the jump after his sophomore year anyway.

Watch prime Penny against the Bulls in 96. It's times where he looked like he couldn't dribble the ball against that defense. He was never a great shooter. He was talented and could do alot at the position because of his height and athleticism but everyone i named above is a better basketball player at the point guard position than Penny.

I thought you had tape on prime Oscar.

I am willing to put Oscar ahead of him if I find footage on him in his prime like I did on Wilt Chamberlain. But as of now I can't. No disrespect to the OGs but it is what it is. If I haven't seen you play, its hard for me to rate you higher than guys I've seen play regardless of what your accomplishments might be.

Penny, T-Mac, and Grant Hill are the greatest talents in NBA history to have their careers cut short by injuries. In terms of talent they are all in the Top 20 all-time.

If Penny never gets hurt, he's the GOAT PG. He had more talent than Magic.

Damn that’s a beautiful highlight reel. I love Penny’s game. The perfect combo of raw athleticism and high IQ. Some of those passes were ridiculous. That one pass towards the end where he snatches the rebound and before even coming down, he throws a no look pass to Shaq. That ish is ridiculous.

Exactly.

He was gonna be the GOAT pg if not for the injuries. Sublime basketball genius with incredible physical gifts.

Stop mentioning Iverson. He was a SG despite being 6'0". Just like Magic was a PG despite being 6'9".
