Shaq 40pts & Penny Hardaway 38pts vs. Spree 40pts & Tim Hardaway 15pts/22asts (1994)

Wow! I don't even know where to begin. This easily was one of the most entertaining NBA games I've ever seen, the boxscore with those 4 statlines seems to be out of this world. There is no word to describe what Shaquille O'Neal does to the Warriors frontline in this game. 40 points (15/20 FG), 18 rebounds, I think there are about 8 dunks and he single-handedly gets every Warriors big in foul trouble. Penny Hardaway is sort of playing the point guard position for the Magic as he did during his first years in the league. He dishes out some beautiful passes to get 13 assists and also scores 38 points (16/24 FG).
Timmy Hardaway goes for a career-high of 22 assists. I wouldn't call some of them as actual assists, yet this is the NBA. He also scores 15 points, although his shot selection was off during this game. Latrell Sprewell's performance is brilliant as well. He rests only for a single minute and scores 40 points. Spree also had some nice assists (6), so I had to include them also.
Now, if you're an NBA fan you cannot dislike this. What you have here are four of those performances in the same game, okay. There's also Hubie Brown getting excited and an entertaining ending with an overtime. December 16, 1994.

[@MrKayNGee]

To those who never got to see Penny Hardaway play back in the day they truly missed out. Too bad injuries derailed his career but he was the total package.

40 points, 18 rebounds for shaq 38 points, 13 assists for penny People just dont know how great shaq and penny were. Even more amazing both were still very young.

Just an outstanding example of mid-90s NBA - a free, wide-open game with tons of talented players. I'm so glad I grew up watching this style of pro basketball.

He was on course to be the next MJ and maybe even greater but like you said injuries derailed his career which enabled Kobe and Lebrons of the world to take that torch instead.

[@maniacmasturbator2411]

Super Vegito supposedly the magic players hated on Seikaly because the women thought he was hot lol

[@seenyour31]

I agree, Penny was a beast back then, and my favorite player. I remember him dropping 39 on the Bulls during the 95' season, with Pippen guarding him for most of that game, this was before MJ returned later that season. The following year (Jordan's 1st year back post retirement) with Shaq out injured Penny outplayed and outscored Jordan head to head I think like 36 or 38 to Jordan's 28, which prompted Stephen A. Smith to write a article in the Philly sports page saying Penny had surpassed Jordan

[@seenyour31]

Of course that was premature as Jordan went on to re-establish himself as the game's premier player, and the Bulls went on the spank Penny and Orlando in their other match-ups that season and swept them in the ECF. However Penny imo was the only player during that time with the skill level who would have been able to match up with Jordan, and would have been an All-time great player if not for injury.

[@Mario-re2qp]

That was a veteran Bulls (coached by the best - Phil Jackson) one of the deepest teams ever, against one of the youngest (coached by Brian nobody) with no depth past the 5 starters. Jordan was still in his prime in his 10th season and by that time he had improved his shooting, adding that fadeaway shot. Penny hadn't even reached his prime, only his third season, with a recent knee injury that never healed nor was treated properly to rush him back quick (mistake that cost his career), so he was not at full speed athletically for that 96 playoff series, where Horace Grant only played the first game. So with Ho. Grant out and Penny not 100% that was an easy win for the Bulls. The Magic matched up well with the Bulls starters but here were shorthanded, had a very inferior bench plus a coach who had no resume to be coaching in the NBA. If it were the other way around, I find it hard to believe the Bulls would beat Orlando without Rodman plus a Jordan with a recovering knee injury

[@hydralisk89a]

They are sorta similar but disagree that Wade was better. Penny was a much better shooter and passer, while Wade is the slightly better slasher (we are talking about Penny in his prime). Overall scoring ability I think was a wash. Penny's post-game was also better. Both are/ were pretty clutch but Penny might have a slight edge in that too.

[@JEFFMAN90]

Man that warriors team was stacked Tim Hardaway Chris mullin, Latrell Sprewell, Chris Webber

[@jayelbee1111]

Yeah, and they originally drafted Penny Hardaway and traded for Chris Webber. Imagine Penny playing with Mullin and Sprewell. The Warriors were stacked but they had so many injuries.

[@B5_Beast304]

And if Webber wasn't a little bitch that couldn't deal with Don Nelson that team could have been set for years!

[@dcc1980]

I remember this game. This Warriors team should have been so much better with the talent they had. Sprewell and Tim Hardaway were fighting over who should be focal point of the offence. Googs and Seikaly would force there way out through trades. So much talent yet so little achieved. Ironically all players mentioned would have better success elsewhere.

[@razkable]

@northvalleynews to much coaching not enough free roam shooting playing talent take over playing style play through stars not bench players and no one likes to work on half court offense anymore its all about half court defense and fastbreak offense every team trust me too much managing minutes now adays too much onlu playing players who play good in practice the coaches dont see the players who play betetr in game then practiceand now those players dont get a chance while scrubs do

[@razkable]

cause they hit open shots in practice and follow a system:( bs i hate that coaching style fuck this nba i love pre 2000 basketball except d wade he plays like a monster tim duncan for obvious reasons shaq cuz well he's shaq and kg cuz the league needs great all around players who used to be able to pass and shoot like a shooting guard

[@carlwallace1129]

Penny was the total package with his balance of IQ and hops before injuries. He had the lethal in & out hesitation ,crossover moves very good in the post great outside shot, extrodinary passer and above the rim finisher in his prime.

[@ramhlunachhangte4689]

Good old days

[@pennyccwai]

Penny was a very good passer back then

[@hydralisk89a]

Wade only averaged more assists than Hardaway a couple yrs and Wade dominated the ball more. Wade is/ was the better slasher but not by much. Penny didn't have a 50% FG% from only relying on his shot. Also, in 90's bball, you didn't have handchecking or touch fouls so prevalent now and which used to be Wade's bread and butter. I

[@razkable]

wades a much better slasher and clutcher passing is a wash except wade gets more assists playing with less so he gets the edge defens eits dwade penny wasnt bad but dwades a 2 steal 1.1 block career guy and is 6'4 post game is a wash

[@bertotaker]

@LamarMatic Owens was traded for Seikaly so he was supposed to start along with Webber and Run TLC

[@razkable]

@pennyccwai well duh he always was with the magic and with shaq when he had to play point especially....also late he became more of a scorer ands shot more cause he had to he became the best player and scorer the team neede him to score

[@razkable]

wow just wow best game ever ive seen live shaq penny in prime vs sprewell when he wasnt crazy and tim hardaway man ......okay also 22 assist are you crazy when 3 guys go for 38 + you get 22 assits crazy

[@hydralisk89a]

I have never seen a guy get bailed out when driving wildly into the defense as much as Wade used to. Postgame, Penny was better. Wade has a decent turnaround and jump hook. Penny had more options in the post and was more effective.

[@MrKayNGee]

Webber played only one year at G-State before getting traded to Washington. Billy Owens (another player I loved when he played for the Warriors) was also traded that year.

[@saturndual32]

OMG!, Lamar, you have outdone yourself with this upload! Man, Penny was such a special player, that Shaq was destroying opponents as usual. From tthe Warriors, that guy with number 15 caught my eye, pretty explosive player it seems...And of course there is Timmy, Seikaly, Gugliotta, Ho Grant, etc. Lots of talent.
