People Often Forget How Good Penny Hardaway Really Was....

[Jerz-2]

A quick, slashing 6'7" dude with a good jumper and good hops/explosiveness who also played good defense...at one point he absolutely ruled the league. He used to shyt on elite teams and scrub teams:



(and Scottie Pippen is that nikka, but....Penny gave Scottie that WORK at the 1:56 mark. )

If only he'd put more weight on his frame earlier in his career, mebbe his knees wouldn't have been on status so soon: after the '96 season, he didn't have another season where he played at least 80 games until the '01-'02 season.

Penny was that dude, though:

More weight would have been better for his knees?

Penny was able to dunk off of one elbow.
