He's got a highlight from college where he goes coast to coast without dribbling.
-
It was a bad period in the history of treating knee injuries unfortunately. Not just in basketball.
-
He’s one of the early microfracture surgery victims. To my knowledge, they don’t do that surgery, at the least same way nearly as much in the general population. I can’t think of the last time I have heard of an athlete getting microfracture surgery.
-
Gotta use time frames bud. Definitely a lot of 90s players that would be top stars of the league with the amount of knowledge, training, diet, etc that today’s players have.
-
Shaq and Penny was kind of over before it really started, such a shame we never got to see how it panned out.
-
I think its 1. Old heads tell me they see a lesser Sabonis from Jokic. Imagine that guy on the late 80s early 90s blazers squads and I think it changes the entire narrative on Drexler and Jordan.
-
Orlando really got fucked in the late 90s - early 2000s with injuries to generational talents in Penny and then Grant Hill. T-Mac and Grant Hill would have been like Tatum and Brown but better.
-
Shaq met Penny while filming the movie Blue Chips. He asked the Magic to draft him over Webber. The Magic ended up drafting Weber but trading him for the next pick which they used on Penny. Preinjury the magic were co sidereal the future of the NBA
-
Another victim of the terrible trend of microfracture surgery in the 90s. One of the stupider approaches to knee injuries of all time.
-
Shaq entered his prime at 21. He wasn't at his pure peak as he was at 27, but go ahead and check out VORP, WS, PER and any other advanced metrics. He was already MVP caliber at 21. Shit, he came in 2nd in MVP voting at 22.
-
Penny had an unanimous approval rating from everyone in the 90s. I don’t recall any penny haters.
-
Him and Jabari Parker remind me of each other. Penny was more polished with point guard skills but their individual offense was insanely similar.
-
You can see bits and pieces of his game in TMac / Kobe / Kyrie / SGA, and the big guard passing savant influence from Magic. Amazing player
-
Penny is what made me a basketball fan as a kid. Always wanted to emulate his style even though I had more of a Shaq body type (less 1' of height).
-
I'll be honest I'm an NBA casual and wasn't around for this era. This guy looks like Magic Johnson in these clips but with a step back lol. Very impressed.
-
His spin stepback move is probably one of the sickest moves I’ve ever seen in the game. It looks impressive
