  • If you ain't a 90's kid you won't understand how special this episode is
  • Loved Penny and Shaq together. It was truly MAGIC. Hardaway was low-key chill. Loved the Lil' Penny commercials. Genius!
  • Arguably Penny has the best signature shoes 👟 of all time 💯
  • @kdro850
    watching Penny as a child he was definitely one of my favorite players to watch
  • And those Shaq and Penny pinstripe jerseys was the best NBA jerseys ever all colors …
  • Penny still my favorite player ever. I lived in Orlando during those days. They had the town lit up! Sad to see how ego's played into their breakup. Shaq was dominant, but Penny was a phenom and was more marketable. He became the crowd favorite and Diesel couldn't handle that. Will always hold that 95 team as one of the best starting 5's ever, and definitely THEE most entertaining team I ever watched play. It blows my mind Penny's not in the HOF. At his peak, every pundit was already talking about his potential to be the GOAT. He would have surpassed Magic as the greatest PG ever if he didn't get hurt. Wear Pennies, GET DIMES!!!
  • @DFW817
    This is real grown men shit and how you let someone you appreciate & respect them. Great wisdom on reflecting on past mistakes and growing from them. That opening dialogue was dropping a ton of free game.
  • I’m having PTSD all over again thinking about “what if”. I am a HUGE Penny Hardaway fan. I would have love to seen the Magic and Sonics matchup in the 96 Finals. Unfortunately, free throws a year before cost a legacy😫
  • I cried when these team got broken up, I was 18 yrs old that time and this team was my life, never supported a team this deep in my life..
  • @chrismayo5097
    Native Orlando’n here, those were great,unforgettable times for Magic fans. Great interview! Thank you Shaq and Penny!
  • Penny will Be in the Hall of Fame one day. His Game was Elite, his sneakers catalog was Dope & he had a Tremendous impact on the Culture. I can see him coaching in the League also. Penny & Shaq would have won 3 rings together if the team stayed in tact & kept getting better. The Bulls Dynasty crumbled & Orlando could have took the mantle.
  • @DFW817
    Kids these days don’t understand how Penny was a DOG!! Dude was a legit baller out of the gate.
  • @TheBiggz808
    Anytime Shaq talks about a party story in Orlando, D Scott was always rocking with him. They must been the Batman & Robin of partying. 😂😂😂
