some of those videos are making me realise i dont know shyt about what happened to some of my old fav players like Spreewell, Tim Hardaway, Garnett. i know he's still playing but i stopped paying attention in about 99/2000 so i missed a lot of careers.

You could put a prime Penny Hardaway in today's NBA and he might be the MVP of the league. He was that good before the injuries hit. He was HOF bound before he started getting hurt

:whoa:

what was so crazy about penny was that he moved like he was 5'11. there was no way god would allow him to just spit in the face of the laws of physics like that forever. most athletic big man of all time. i heard he was still tearing up rec leagues etc from like...i want to say 09... as far as now hes probably just chilling playing a lot of golf

He was 6'7:comeon:

And even if you consider that a "Big Man", pause, he wouldnt even be in the top 10 of most athletic big men within the past 20 years.



Penny was great before injuries, yes, but why are yall over hyping him in here?:mindblown:

i'm not disputing it, but let's not act as if Penny ever REALLY got the chance to play in his prime....healthy that is



I agree.Penny at the top of his game>>>>>>Gary Payton at the top of his



Penny was more entertaining, to.Gary Payton had a rugged offensive game and a ugly ass knuckle ball J.


Payton had some good years offensively from 1999-2002 when Paul Westphal took his run and gun offense to Seattle, but the Sonics were mediocre during those years.I think they only made the Playoffs one time and lost during that time.Losing to the Jazz in the 1st round.

But yeah, Payton had to score more because they didn't have anybody else.


Look at Paytons career averages....16 PPG and 6.7 assist in 35 mpg



Look at a dude like Kevin Johnson's stats from that same era 17 ppg and 9 assist in 34 mpg....not only that, he gave you 1.5 spg over his career, right there with Payton's 1.8.....how's Gary Payton continuously rated as a better player than even Kevin Johnson? let alone, Penny?



Neither one of them dudes had the natural talents or the magnetism of a YOUNG Penny.Penny had a certain charisma to his game that made you look at him and say "That's the dude I wanna pattern my game after".He was smooth out there.I watched all 3 of these dudes play.Strictly basing it on the eyeball test, when healthy, Penny was better than GP and KJ.On top of that, he never got the chance to reach his prime like those dudes.

But even in his budding stage, he was better than GP or KJ ever was.Like I said, he should've went down as a top 15-20 player of all time
