Penny’s postup game was so underrated.

[@jfil5518]

When I was a kid I modeled my playing style after Penny, especially posting up. As I got older it became less effective since I'm average height 5'8" and didn't have the best legs, although I was quick. Coaches would put me at point guard but I preferred shooting guard. Now at 37 looking back it's bittersweet thinking of how badly I wanted to be in the NBA. With each passing year, that dream kept fading away. But having a dream is part of being a child and that is something that cannot be taken away.

[@cflo1386]

I don't think we've ever seen a player come out of college with a polished game. Penny could defend, post up, had consistent three point shot, perimeter shooter, take over games, hit big shots, run an offense half court-full court, and most importantly he was a great passer and team player. He did all of this right from the start as a rookie.

I uploaded a college mix of his. Type Penny Treadwell best and rare. It shows he was complete since 16

[@Hereathome7]

H Grant and that outside jumper though...

[@ChrisM07]

He was highly missed when the Magic lost that 18 point lead against the Bulls the following round, he definitely would've hit those shots everyone else was missing.

Always deadly

Karma for leaving the Bulls

Amazing player

[@jordansntimbs]

Awesome footage, thanks. One of the series that got me Into the nba. Mitchell @ ness really need to release that penny jersey

[@howardberry7064]

That why bulls swept magic in playoffs that year after being beat by magic year before in playoffs! Hardaway was still bothered by his knee and Achilles, couple other magic players not fully healthy and most of all due to that and other factor, they were not on all cylinders going into series against the bulls

[@ropete33]

Horace Grant got hurt in the Bulls series too that also didn't help.

[@ElijahHead0526]

injuries are a part of basketball.... that comes with being a team to go deep in the playoffs, despite injuries penny still balled hard vs the bulls and was pretty good in 96 and they still got dismantled

[@ChrisM07]

Grant being hurt definitely played a factor considering he provided the leadership for the team in closing games.

[@technicplay8959]

@@ChrisM07 i was surprised in the game 2 Magic couldn’t killed the game with a 3 point. Shaq offensive foul against Rodman was not an offensive but defensive flopping by Rodman. Because he was smaller to defend on Shaq, he received his elbow in his face so it is not an offensive foul. This bad whistle changed the game. I was Magic fan even I loved Jordan. This year Jordan = O’Neal, 30 pts, 14 Rebs 3 blocks, 3 assists or more…..

[@ChrisM07]

​@@technicplay8959 Tbh the Magic could've still won G2 w/o Grant if they had adjusted after Shaq got figured out in the 2nd half. Penny had almost nothing ran for him the entire 2nd half the majority of the plays were still "give it to Shaq and stand around", that's where coaching becomes important.

[@ropete33]

Penny could post up smaller PGs with his size. This shows that a lot since poor Mookie wasn't too tall :)

[@meg-k-waldren]

You've never and will never hear 1:24 of Lebron James. This is cause Lebron is average at best in the post. His game is limited to transition offense and passing. Nothing more.

Great vid thanks man
