Penny career was hot from like 1993-1996 and then it was a wrap. Dude went to the Finals and got bodied by Kenny the Jet Smith.
Yet Timmy had two great runs with run TMC (Around 1990-1994), and with the Heat (From around 1996-1999)
Where is Penny's "NBA Live" cover???
fukk Tim Hardaway

I can't compare them
Can you compare Allen Iverson and Magic Johnson?

penny's prime was short-lived as hell. whereas tim was nice for a much longer time. he's definitely better. people get caught up in the penny shaq hype of the early 90's, but penny's reign on the top was shorter than leprechauns. he was 
for a lot of his career with the suns and heat. and even his latter years with the magic.

Penny's reign may have been shorter, but I think overall, he was a tougher match up/ more effective player than Tim Hardaway.If it wasn't for injuries, we wouldn't even be having this conversation right now.Penny was by far the better prospect.
It's like comparing Biggie(Penny) to Guru(Tim)
Guru is dope and had a longer run, but BIG was wayyyyy more prolific during his time.
I normally ride for Tim Hardaway, but like I said, if they were both able to stay injury free, and max out their potential, it would be Penny>>>>>Tim
and it wouldn't even be close IMO.Tim was never a 1st tier/ franchise player type prospect....I'd put him more on that Chauncey Billups/ Sam Cassell level in terms of historical context.He had some good assist numbers during the DMC days, but Iverson could've averaged 10 apg playing on those teams.
He got a lot of residual assist, but he never was a "pure" pg IMO.
He was super fun to watch, though.He's underrated when it comes to entertainment value.Those rainbow 3's he used to launch when he caught fire
can't go off of what if's, so i'm going with Tim Hardaway. my fav Heat player too
Penny was the better player and talent, but Tim had the btter career.
Penny really never had a prime
95 and 96 were his best years and he was only 22-23 years old.
Then he had the 40 point games in the playoffs in 97, but after that, he's been hurt, changed position, and changed teams and was never the same.

@MooseMouthMthafuga why dd you compare Tim Hardaway to Guru 
Tim Hardaway had one of the greatest starts to an NBA career ever. Guru was just an ok rapper.

Tim was healthier for more years no doubt. And I'll also say as a Penny Stan, Tim used to give Penny fits when Penny tried guarding him..but I think Penny in his short healthy period was a better player.
We were robbed of some classic battles in their few years in Florida together. 96-97 and 98-99 had some good games between the Heat and the Magic.

Just how I feel intuitively.
Putting the NBA in juxtaposition with the rap game and ranking players by gut feeling/ where they stand in historical context.
In the grand scheme of things, I think Tim would rank similar to how Guru would rank in rap......Maybe top 100 of all time.
Whereas I felt Penny, barring injury, had the potential to be a top 20 player of all time.
