penny has got to have one of the smoothest, most fluid spin moves i have ever seen.

[@ButtZilla]

That's his trademark 😃

[@carlwallace1129]

Absolutely. His spin moves were equally as vintage as his midpost game and his outside shot.

[@chickhearn4ever779]

MJ so respectful at the end during the interview. He had great sportsmanship in wins and in losses unlike some people we know.

[@ButtZilla]

Like someone who would walk off the court before the game was even over? 😂😂😂😂

[@nikkolas821]

Penny was the man but damn Jordan did not miss Incredible to watch

[@MB-ju4wd]

MJ wanted the challenge. Was picking up Penny full court lol it was personal

[@ButtZilla]

lol, check description for why he did that ;)

[@MB-ju4wd]

@@ButtZilla I just peeped lol got cooked the previous game

[@markanthonycgranados]

Penny is the only player I have seen who can match up so well vs MJ in his prime.

[@n.jigmelhendup5495]

This is not MJ ‘s prime

[@zackanderson2114]

This is not prime jordan

[@JCMIA83]

Wow! I remember watching this game. It was on a Sunday, on NBC. I was in the 7th grade.

[@nikkolas821]

Bro you have a hellava memory! I was the same age lol

[@AK-fu1ge]

This game was on tbs. The game you’re referring to on nbc happened in February of that same season

[@demitriuswilliams4729]

Even the commentators was awesome back then💪🏽💯👍🏽

[@jamesmorris8192]

Mike most definitely respected penny

[@ButtZilla]

They are buds

[@GeromeFairley-du9mb]

Damn, the nostalgia!

[@Yaya11998]

Mike was HOUNDING PENNY!

[@ButtZilla]

Go find out why in description. 😉

[@Iamdasouth]

@Yaya11998, Mj hounding him but Penny still had a great game he's the only player I've ever seen to give Mj problems in matchups but Mj is the G.o.a.t Penny was on his way but injuries derailed his career

[@Lalambz]

thank you for these! love seeing mj on Defense!

[@nattyp7801]

ONLY PLAYER IN NBA HISTORY to post 2000 pts,500 assists,500 rebounds and 100 steals in 4 consecutive seasons…..PLZ STOP DE MADNESS……

[@tech-no-logictech9743]

Even in hindsight it was very surprising that the Bulls lost that first meeting vs the Magic in 95/96 and MJ performing the way he did after what happened in the playoffs the season before. But in typical MJ fashion he got his revenge. And then some!

[@chrisrach3]

Penny was damn good. Injuries kept him from the hall of fame. He had a ton of moves. Mike had all the moves though and was just smoother than everyone. No hitches in any of his movements.

[@awakethemaster]

Excellent players. Good matchup. An experience to play against the best.

[@adrianhernandez1058]

Penny giving jordan the business but of course mj came out on top.. redemption on what happened a month prior

[@Yaya11998]

Penny finished 5/12 for 19 points Jordan had 38 rebounds n was HOUNDING HIM

[@nelsoncollins4223]

The two best ever.

[@josevidal1976]

Mj.vs Penny whaaat??? Mj is Legends over

[@Charles.psalms1]

Penny was a threat

[@Rambo20244]

[@marianocorera]

His Majesty

[@Jaylen7248]

Where was shaq

[@ButtZilla]

Shaq was injured. thumb injury.

[@SmilingDolphins-ye4zm]

How did Penny and Jordan have a face off when Pippin had to deal with the dude

[@praxedesfelixbeltran1582]

Partidazos ,¿ahora donde esta la n.b.a.?

[@samuelcrisostomo1534]

People are stupids , actual players are not locking defending as jordan used To almost the whole game.is not even close

[@elicarson1040]

Once MJ, incorporated that post up, he became un-un stoppable.

[@bullykilla1073]

Penny wasn't getting the same calls as Mike, m.j fouled him a few times this game

[@LOL-ro9ef]

excuses dude

[@menschmenschson7504]

Excuses Jordan locked his ass up

[@marlowstanfield6815]

Where's Shaq?

[@ButtZilla]

injury

[@Beast_Mode_Jones]

No-one acknowledged him

[@koichiLove.]

Penny hardaway is not even close Compare to Mj Sorry to say that and he look tense while Mj is having a fun playing lol..

[@ButtZilla]

That's not what MJ said during 96 ASG interview, in fact it was quite the opposite

[@samuellee2108]

@@ButtZilla right MJ looked tense and worried..

[@nbagoats4819]

Penny was weak. He was getting destroyed and even faked an injury. If you look closely at the replay his LEFT foot slightly tripped on Jordan's foot but yet Penny got confused and grabbed the right foot as if it was hurt. His right foot was nowhere near MJ's feet.

[@bam2one]

A Theory 2 Consider 🤔🤔😂😂

[@gibsonfranchise]

Penny was that dude a nightmare for jordan and who ever else wanted at that time
