He was the star in a budding Orlando system with up and coming big man Shaquille O'neal. He stood very tall for a point guard, 6'8", but didn't lack any skills, very athletic also. I don't recall him being so aggressive on defense, he was tall, but he was slim so he couldn't body up on anyone. Because of his humble demeanor, he was adored by media and fans. He was rather softspoken, so the media tried to urge him to be more outspoken. Since they couldn't get him to come out of his shell, they created his alter ego: Lil Penny; a brash and sarcastic 1:16 replica of the real thing. This was a hit amongst fans, they loved the contradictory collaboration.
After repeated injuries he didn't perform as well on the court, his fame diminished. He soon became one of the 'Lost' Legends of the League.
first dont call me son cause probably i'm older than you...how is penny overrated? he was one of the best players when i was healthy in theleague, and was one of the future players of the league.. yeah his shoes are cool but they have nothing to do with the fact that he was still a great player..you alk about grant hill, yet no one talks about him, i didnt even say anything bad about him, so why are you bringing him in this conversation? i never saidhe belongs in the hall of fame, but you can say all you want but he is not overrated. because when he was healthy the delivered. so what it his all nbaappearances is as far as it goes? it still means that back then he was the best point guard, so how overrated are you when you're the best pg for 2straight years? there were other pg's GP, JKidd, but still he was the best pgOriginally Posted by PrinSe3
HAHAHAHAH... man reading comprehension is sorry on NT.
What "fact" did i say that was incorrect. No please tell me ill wait. I even pointed out he was injured. how old are you?
Listen son. Accomplishments have nothing to do with the fact that an individual would be considered "overrated" in their respective sport. Its the public perception of penny that bothers me. On places like NT.... peeps hold him in such high stature you would think that hes a sho-in hall of famer. Yet guys like G-Hill who is a better player overall get no love. Penny's (the kicks) did a lot for the guys legacy.
His back to back 40 point games against miami have nothing to do with it SON. Ive seen both videos. Great performance, but that doesnt change my opinion of him. Hes an all-star caliber player, had a very unique skill set, the first, like mentioned before to have vision and handle with that height. He had a swagger about him. Hell he should be looked back as a an allstar level player but with the praise hes given on NT a newcomer would think he built the hall of fame. legacy-wise hes overrated. Theres 10 god damn penny threads a month . From videos to appreciations or w.e
Its ridiculous to selectively pick stats of a players. His career high average is 21 a game, he did drop 7 dimes, YAH SORRY I FORGOT HIS 4 ALLSTAR APPEARANCES. GO DO YOUR HOMEWORK SEE WHO ELSE HAS 4. He did have back to back all-nba's which is pretty much it as far as accomplishments go. To bad he got hurt.
like i said G HILL> penny... and G hill is a what if guy too
Penny supporters are all about what if's, what if he didnt get hurt, what if shaq didnt leave. $*!* WHAT IF'S. its about reality.

Did I forget to mention that what they call defensive teams now wouldn't stand and compare to defensive teams in the mid to late 90s. Common, sure Penny was part of the Nike hype. But dude was one of the best in that era. If it wasn't for dumb Magic surgeons who screwed up Grant Hill's career too. Dude would have ended up being a HoFer probably.Originally Posted by rickybadman
SMH. I sorry but when penny was healthy dude was a straight up beast, injuries killed his career. Dude had great handle, post up game, long range shot, crazy first step and could Jump out of the gym. Pippen could not even slow him down, and only GP was a better one on one defender that Pippen at the time. Penny's game was beautiful to look at it was not just off balanced threes, a few crazy dunks and tons of traveling.Originally Posted by Clutchshooter

"When he was healthy".
"because when he was healthy he delivered"
"he was the best for 2 years".
Im lookin at things holistically. Hell andre miller even had one ridiculous season. Injuries are a part of the game, and they affect your legacy thats why i bring up the Hill reference. It sucks but thats life. Thats why Jordan and Kobe and so far Lebron are blessed. Theyve been healthy
If Len bias didnt die he could have been great
If Griffey didnt get hurt he would be the best of all time
If's get you nowhere homie. Thats why when i look at penny i see a great player for two years, but nothing to get overworked about. Half of NT has to change their tampons when they hear the guys name

My question is, why does NT hate T-mac so much and absolutely love Penny? Again, I don't know much about Penny at all.
