:usure: This is the same Penny that Shaq comparing Fredo Corleone when breaking down the difference between the 3 guys he played with (Penny, Kobe, Wade)



:francis: yet I'm supposed to believe he thinks Penny was every bit as good Kobe :duck:
That godfather quote from Shaq never made sense because why would Shaq hand anything over to Penny when they were both young (in fact, Shaq is younger than Penny). Also of course he was gonna prop of Wade more because Shaq left both Orlando and LA on bad terms.

But seriously, all of those guys were great players but in the end, only one of them is a top 10 player.

I agree with the notion it took kobe a few years before he took off, he would of course go on to work himself into a top 10 player of all time. Can't debate that

But penny Hardaway was a special talent that really didn't need a development period. Out the gate he was a special talent. Court vision comparable to magic. Elite ball handling skills and could score inside and from mid range. Early on he was giving dudes buckets and running the Orlando magic offense at an elite level. He was a major reason him and Shaq took down Jordan went through the pacers and got to the finals so early in their years together. That dude was special.

Nah. I think if injuries didn't hamper his career he prolly woulda been up there wKobe. That really hurt his development. Plus by his 2nd year they had already made it to the finals

You can’t even compare the two. Penny played like a true pg. Not like todays pg who have a score first mentality. Penny could get buckets and had a crazy deep offensive bag but, he never played the game with a score first mentality. You can’t say one is better than the other at they peaks because there ropes were completely different.

Ya I'm old enough to have watched both of their entire careers. This comparison is a legitimate one. Penny was fukking special man.


Nick young was special but he's half retarded so we're 500 other players that didn't get the chance, got injured, were too stupid or fukked up there chance
