Interview Penny (Part 2)

[@zeeb4332]

Favorite player of all time no matter what

[@LlLnig]

Penny we fans still love you. You were one of the most exciting players to watch in the 90's. You still dominated during the Jordan era, amongst great players: Jordan, Pippen, Ewing, Hill etcc...

[@21Hova21]

Penny you always be one of my all-time favorites athletes

[@beepeace9581]

It’s now 2024 AND WE ARE STILL DIEHARD FANS OF PENNY HARDAWAY🔥 He is Elite and IS A KILLER 🐐! Legendary

[@Catabrothers]

Penny has nothing to prove. There is no doubt in my mind he would have been better than Kobe or Lebron, "if" he was healthy. Penny was the only player I've seen go toe to toe with Jordan when Jordan was in his prime. Not only was he great athleticly, but he was a very smart basketballer.

[@EricGarcia4life]

He's blessed with the 2nd most successful shoeline after Jordan. He can get his championship as a coach. He has great coaching skills

[@dumisatonyjohnson8145]

Eric Garcia The Penny Nike shoe was outselling the Retro Air Jordan’s at one point in the mid-to-late 1990s!!

[@MoneyOverFame]

Penny was a great player and was one of the greatest guards to play. He deserves much more respect...

[@theo449]

im about to cry damn i hope he comes back nba isnt the same without penny

[@8countsports]

Penny was the Man but thoughs injuries got him, but every1 that saw him in his prime kno the deal, He was one of the best in his prime

[@Blackenedification]

Incredible basketball IQ, athletism and skills wasted by injuries, I still remember that crazy all star game lineup, probably the best ever, with Hardaway, Jordan, Pippen, G Hill and Shaq, that was just sick!

[@slugga29]

So glad I was able to watch so many elite players battle back in the 90s... man those were the days.

[@aiv14]

o wow.. penny is one of my fav. players of all time. for john thompson to say something like that.. dam.. that hurt even me..

[@theroseinthegarden2744]

Woah what Thompson said really made me lose respect ... Penny's reaction was very realistic tho wtf that was messed up .

[@coachcarter8238]

The Rose in the garden But he was right.

[@Kavothizzlafduxbfd]

It's fucked up but he wasnt wrong

[@1stLady2RnBsingerJOE]

Okay people NEEDS to understand that injuries are beyond ones control. So for people to look down on him or others because of that I think that's bullshit. Give this man back his 2nd chance. He's fighting hard to come back and a team should see that. I hate this for him. I like his courage and strength. That's bullshit when people give up on you when you know deep inside that YOU ARE BETTER THAN THAT!! I pray that he returns. -The Best to you Penny :)

[@jskyl14]

Theres so much thats depressing about this interview. Heres a guy who was in his mid 30s at the time of the interview, who could have been one of the greatest guards of all time but injuries stopped him. And yet he truly believes he can still play in the NBA efficiently. Thats sad...because he was such an explosive player and you could just tell how much he loves the game of basketball.

[@Monicadominguez2393]

the thing that kept penny in the league as long as he did was his basketball IQ. he was one of the smartest players ive ever seen but his body just gave out.

[@imdacutest]

It made me feel sad wathcing this interview :( especially when he told penny that his career is over..huhhuhuhuhuhu...Penny is my all time favourtie player ever.

[@kodiewade2861]

My favorite ball player of all time no matter what

[@DK505x]

I can't believe John Thompson said that, that had to hurt, god i hate how Penny never got a ring and lost his career to injuries

[@Adrianyj]

Penny inspired me... Is so sad to see the injuries is bothering him... It is life, ppl just need to get over it and be strong again...

[@huacas]

PENNY the best....#1 player

[@lulabelle82]

it even hurt me hearing that. Imagine how hard it must have been for penny today.

[@xmuscularghandix]

"i think you career's over" "no, it's not coach."

[@kchoodsta]

Penny was one of the smartest players ive ever seen

[@USAhealthInsReform]

He’ll get his championships with Memphis. Go Tigers!

[@lil_james1584]

Its okay, Hes always gonna have money as long as he lives. and his career was not that bad despite the injuries. But he'll probably be back in the league. Don't give up on him yet!

[@theroseinthegarden2744]

Miami should have gave Penny another chance at working harder he would have made a great role player for a championship ..

[@wislard]

penny the best...# 1

[@marcomancilla4797]

Its sad to see penny & Grant hills career got like how it did becouse of injurys

[@cuttyb87]

Penny was the man, but injuries and people talked about his heart. I liked Penny and all he was the man, I dont think he would of been better than Kobe now, but I am sad he didnt win anything

[@hsvsv8]

@Domini478 Jordan himself said before the 96 Bulls-Magic Conference Finals series that the best way to beat Orlando was to shut down Penny. Because Shaq could only hurt you in the paint, Penny could hurt you as soon as the ball was in his hands. I still remember his buzzer beater from half court with 2 defenders on him. Swish!!!

[@infect1985]

my fav player penny deserved a championship ring.also reggie and charles derserved a championship ring

[@MoneyOverFame]

Penny would've been in the hall of fame if he played a full career.

[@iyamom4]

If he was able to he would have. He tried hard and that is all that matters.

[@Kakarot_3000]

Damn I wish he didn't get bit by the injury bug

[@ThePrecedent]

Say what you want but Penny was the truth his first 3 years in the league. Even Michael Jordan said during the olympic dream team practices that Penny was the best player on the floor. If he hadnt been injured hed be an all time great. No doubt about it. Its really sad to see him on the video washed up but it is what it is. No one can tell me Penny wasnt cold during his stint w Orlando.

[@kmckoy13]

LOL @ :52 "I think your career is over" he brutally said it

[@79ENT]

after shaq is when his injuries began though!!! So we'll never really know if he coulda balled without Shaq

[@James8107]

You do realize Penny Hardaway is now 6 years older than when this video first uploaded right? Penny's career is over and was over years ago when this video first aired in late 05', early 06'. He was a great player...probably a future HOF player if his injuries didn't keep him away from the game. But he wouldn't be able to do the things he did 17 years ago...time can never be defeated..and that's for ANYONE...even Michael Jordan.

[@OJGillom]

Pennynotwashedup, we need more people like you! To be loyal. ME and YOU are one of a kind! And i think Penny will be back. Hopefully ( crosses fingers! ) No matter what though, i still will always like Penny!

[@hsvsv8]

Also agree that the Magic were the better team in the 95 Finals. Nick Anderson bricked 4 straight three-throws & he only need 1 of them & the Magic win Game 1 & the entire series changes shape from there. Orlando couldn't overcome it though & Anderson was a headcase for the next 3 games.

[@akaurfear]

@davecata Jordan said the only person who could carry his torch was penny

[@charlesberry3288]

akaurfear yep you are right

[@TheMadeMan89]

i wouldn't say top 5 ever but top five pg ever isn't that ridiculous of a statement. if penny had never gotten hurt he would have def become a better shooter over the years just like jason kidd. his vision was phenomenal. he couldn't do it alone he needed another star i.e. shaq. kobe can't even do it alone nor lebron, so when ppl say "o well he didn't do shit after shaq left" that doesn't legitimize anything b/c after shaq left penny drew the double teams i.e. stats dropped

[@Anfmethodjor]

@loso24 The greatest and coldest interview moment.Brutal honesty, yet respectful.

[@Icebergslim91]

Penny is the man but that Houston team was faaaaar better and more experienced, we talking about Hakeen Olajuwon here arguable one of the greatest centers to ever play the position.

[@cinnabar546]

Chris Page was experience that beat them. honestly Rudy T and brian hill arent good coaches so it wasnt a coaching issue. If shaq stayed till '99 at least they could have taken at least a ring and challenged the 98 bulls. Penny wouldn't have been injured cause he'd have less usage rate than he had when shaq left.

[@mr.towler4780]

Man, spurs should have signed him. We take a bunch of old players and make a dominant team, lol. And he would have shot 40% from 3.

[@imdacutest]

It made me feel sad watching this interview :(

[@b3antownboi]

D.Rose got hit too let's hope he comes back healthy

[@ChicagoBulls23453]

sorry bro it was the beginning of the end of my goat

[@mayi757]

lol at that stupidity "hardaway was not efficient enough? What? Penny hardaway in his 2nd season would be the best player in the NBA TODAY

[@berneysalomon]

"career is over"?!!! HELL NO!!!

[@USAhealthInsReform]

RIP John Thompson

[@garychldress74]

John Thompson was piece of crap for saying that to Penny.

[@melvinhhcp3615]

No. I think you misunderstood. He was just being direct. All of the elders in his generation talk like that. They don't BS. Could he have phrased it in a nicer way? Maybe. But that wouldn't be honest.

[@loso24]

''I think your career's over'' John thompson your cold haha

[@Forw1072]

why john thompson talkin bout him like that?

[@g323g]

i pray penny will come back penny fans u with me?lets pray!

[@joekiddlouischama]

... well, he could have balled (he still did at times, in his first year in Orlando after Shaq left, before his first Microfracture surgery, and in his first year in Phoenix to some extent), but the question is what it would have meant. I don't think that he would have been a guy who really elevated an entire offense because Hardaway wasn't efficient enough as a playmaker (assists-to-turnover ratio of slightly under 2.00:1.00) or a scorer (he never shot .475 from the field after Shaq).

[@vagvll]

what a great team orlando was back in 93 same they didnt win a title.

[@DBCOOPER888]

@davecata Jordan's "prime" was actually in the late 80s, before he won a championship.

[@punkrawkgangsta]

Aqui Penny tuve una conversacion con John Thompson, y Thompson dice que Penny no puede jugar basketball. Barkley, Reggie y Kenny dice que es un cosa muy triste que Penny es un viejo para tener exito hoy dia (2005).

[@azee1v1]

He was signed by the Heat in 07 for like 16 games then cut

[@saksmarcus]

And #1 is a cursed number. Look what happened to tmac after him!

[@hsvsv8]

@Domini478 I was over the 95 Finals as soon as the buzzer sounded to signal the end of Game 4. To suggest I'm hung up on it when all I am trying to demonstrate is that the best team doesn't always win & how big a part momentum plays in any sport (in particular a 7 game series where 4 wins are needed). You're just struggling with the concept, simple as that.

[@hsvsv8]

@Domini478 True. But they dominated as a result of Orlando's self capitulation.

[@stefa00]

what happened to penny ? did he injure .

[@PorterMagic]

NICK THE BRICK!!!

[@J.Smoove4215]

i wish he could have won one ring b 4 he was done he was 2 damn good not 2 win

[@jplaya2023]

penny 6-6 shooting and won the game for the heat

[@iyamom4]

This is the first time I have EVER liked Charles's comment. Except what that guy that talked bad about MY dude! I dont even care enough about him to put his name here I can just say insert hater here______.

Prove him wrong. Who give a f who that guy is and spit on penny and his motivation.

[@saksmarcus]

Man all u guys talking about how good the magic were are crazy. They got swept, and shaq couldn't do anything with the dream. Clyde was cold too. Clutch city!!!!

[@charlesberry4452]

You are dumb dude you are totally wrong

[@jesuslovesyou4795]

Give life to Jesus lord Christ amen

[@ugie8851]

what the hell happen at 3:20 my ear was shocked!

[@androekaputra]

please visit jakarta penny hahaha

[@JannDough]

you might be a little late there man.

[@danimalman3]

This video is so old.

[@Vintage27]

@davecata real fuckin talk!!!!

[@Shad0wWolf]

Truth as in BUST, yea you right

[@joekiddlouischama]

Highest IQ since Bird and Magic? Top five ever? I'll tell you what, the hype that Hardaway received in his few years in the league led legions of people to become delusional about him. He was a very good player, but he never averaged more than 7.2 assists in a season, he was far from a great shooter (he never shot .475 from the field without Shaquille O'Neal), and his teams' offense was always mediocre or bad after Shaq left.

[@deboisblanc]

If player misses the shot, there is no assist. Penny was top ten player in the league until about third year in PHX

[@slim4242]

@loso24 yea that was a low blow right there lmao....

[@db32585]

Charles said the best player he ever played with was Andrew Toney...damn, I wonder what Toney is doing these days...

[@hsvsv8]

@Domini478 That's where ur wrong. They couldn't shut down Shaq. As for the Finals, I'll say it again because you clearly lack the intelligence to grasp the concept of momentum. 1 foul shot & it's 1-0 Orlando & their confidence goes up & the momentum swings in their favour. Game 2 the crowd gets more into it knowing that a win will see the side travel with a 2-0 lead & regardless of results, will be back in Orlando for another game. The loss killed their confidence. Hence the sweep.

[@Paniro123]

I think your career is over. *stink face*

[@monfist]

Are you writing aidwtd's 'book'? :) What the hell is your problem? Does it hurt you that Penny was a great player? :D Then relax: his career is fucked up by a plenty of injuries. So be happy with the fact that you'll never see him ever again in the NBA and go watch LeBron videos instead of pick at anybody who liked him.

[@Chrischi7777]

@davecata get outta here

[@Shad0wWolf]

#1 as #1 bust of all time maybe
