I just had to come in here and say a lot of you make great points. Penny is my favorite player of all time, even over the GOAT MJ. A lot of you guys makegreat points that he only really had two great years, etc. However, i think what a lot of us Penny fans saw was he had those two great years at the very startof his career and IF, yes here goes another IF, but if he was healthy, he'd be a legend no doubt for the simple fact that he was a beast already at THATearly in his career. My boy had it all, could score with the best of them, had THE best court vision, imo, had great bball iq, and was a pretty soliddefender.
I also think the whole, "it was the shoes that got him the love" is BS. I mean the shoes was fresh but for me, being a Penny fan, i was gonna getWHATEVER shoe he had at the time, even if they were butt ugly, just cause they were PENNY'S kicks. So for me, and i'm sure a lot of other Penny fans,it was Penny that made the shoe popular, not the other way around.
Another thing, TMac is my 2nd fav. player of all time and i think the comparisons to him and Penny are not very accurate. Tmac is more a scorer while Pennywas more a playmaker.
At the end of the day, both of my fav. players are cursed
EDIT: Hold up, had to quote this:

imo T-Mac & Penny weren't as similar as some of yall are saying...Penny was a much quicker guy, while T-Mac played a somewhat slower pace.
I think D-Wade's game kinda reminds me of Penny

Penny was way smoother and naturally talented than Wade

That stepback where he jumps like backwards is just crazy.
I loved hisstyle- was mad smooth, but jerky at the same time.

6'7 point guard
triple double threat every game
playoff performer leading team to finals in 2nd season
him and Grant Hill were the best youngsters in the game in that era, maybe J. Kidd too

Penny was the second coming of Jordan when he was drafted. He brought youth, excitment, and even more marketing to the NBA. He was awesome to watch, hewas the first Kobe. Unfortunately, injuries brought him down, and he never could come back from that..

No way. Penny was basically a taller Dwayne Wade and was a straight playmaker. Went to the Finals with Shaq and I think if he never got injured would have gonedown as one of the best to ever do it. Dude was like the 2nd coming of Magic and helped pave the way for the tall player who could handle the rock and createfor his team too.

Penny gave Jordan problems that were Dumars-esque during the mid 90s. I disagree with his statement simply because I'm biased since I grew upin Chicago. But his opinion definitely is a valid one.

Man I thought this Penny d-riding was done for a moment but it came back. Is it ever gonna stop? Sure he was one of the top players in 90s era for a couple ofyears, but better than Jordan? C'mon...

and back in the day, I hated Jordan , I was also one of those that prefer Penny
just like now you have Kobe haters
, there were Jordan haters also(especially in ny)
, you can't deny that fact
so I was excited when my "childhood idol" got traded to NY, even tho he wasn't the same old penny from orlando

I met alot of NBA stars (Kobe, Lebron, Melo, Wade, CP......) and the only person I wanted to take a picture with out of all of those people was Penny.
