@FastbreakHoops5 Penny was more skilled than everyone playing today. By far.

@FastbreakHoops5 wish he never got hurt 💔

@FastbreakHoops5 Michael Jordan only wore one other players shoes. Air Penny 1’s ( Nike Air Flight 1) #Respect @Iam1Cent

@FastbreakHoops5 People forget — or aren’t old enough to know — how good he was: If it wasn’t for injuries, he would’ve been a top 20 player of all time.

@FastbreakHoops5 He Was Soooooo GOOD!!! A shame we didn't get to see Penny's full potential!!!

@FastbreakHoops5 You got 7 footers doing this now lol

@FastbreakHoops5 @Jacobtheclipper according to KD, players have evolved, they're more skilled in every way. Weve never seen plays like we see today in our lives. Feast your eyes on the most evolved and skillful player, whose mastery of the game is truly unparalleled.

@FastbreakHoops5 How many times you gonna mention Penny? The fact you keep using Penny as an example is a proof of how limited the number of talented players back then.

@FastbreakHoops5 For every Penny there were 20 Blue Edwards and 10 Scottie Brooks at the time. The gap between role players now and role players then in regards to athleticism, skill, and talent is the Grand Canyon.

@FastbreakHoops5 And Shaq couldn’t win with him. Speaks volumes about Kobe.

@FastbreakHoops5 The early 00’s NBA literally had at least 20 “Anthony Edwards” in the league 😂

@FastbreakHoops5 Hardaway was a better version of Anthony Edwards than Anthony Edwards

@FastbreakHoops5 0 ball knowledge @Jacobtheclipper strikes again 🤣💀

@FastbreakHoops5 There were more lumbering types back then but players like Kevin Johnson would be lethal in todays game.

@FastbreakHoops5 Skills in the NBA are down dramatically compared to the 80’s & 90’s. Athleticism is up from the 80’s & 90’s. Hence the reason for all the rules changes, style of play etc. Give me skills and team basketball over athleticism and hero basketball 24/7/365.

@FastbreakHoops5 Penny averaging a triple double and best in the league today

@FastbreakHoops5 It's too bad Shaq didn't stay in Orlando and that Penny started getting hurt... Had those two things not happened the history of the NBA would be different

@FastbreakHoops5 Can you imagine being the Sixers, having experienced 3 straight years of Manute Bol giving you 2p-3.5r-2.5b in 15 mins, and deciding you wanted that again instead of Penny Hardaway and drafting Shawn Bradley 2nd overall.

Penny and Grant Hill were the future we couldn’t have, good thing there was Kobe and Duncan in the decade after. Curry alone wasn’t enough to stem the tide against weak minded bitches like Bron and KD, they are why the league and product is trash since Kobe retired. Not a hot take.

@FastbreakHoops5 2nd fav player ever. If the fucking Orlando Sentinel never had a poll asking if Shaq was worth the money (forgot the dollar amount), and most people voted “no”. Shaq left, and Penny had to carry us and inevitably got hurt

@FastbreakHoops5 And the video didn’t even show his fade away jumper, which is still one of the most beautiful moves I’ve ever seen. No one can do it like he did

@FastbreakHoops5 I loved Penny but he shot 31.8% from 3 for his career. 🤷♂️

@FastbreakHoops5 The through the leg while he was on the floor pass and the behind the back pass was cold. But let the 25 and under crowd tell it they swear they see this every night. Straight lies all I see is carrying and traveling by Giannis and multiple other stars, and multiple 3pt attempts

@FastbreakHoops5 Penny II’s led me to stardom in 7th grade

@FastbreakHoops5 Why does he look exactly like soulja boy in this picture? 🤣

@FastbreakHoops5 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️Post when his head is at the rim. This is so weak it’s a Tuesday night Charlotte Hornets vs Wizards game. That might have been impressive in the 90s but today

@FastbreakHoops5 Don't forget Allen Iverson!

@FastbreakHoops5 Rod Strickland too

@FastbreakHoops5 Even lil penny would destroy 3/4 the league today!

@FastbreakHoops5 All that stuff about no skills back then--just young heads talkin' smack.

@FastbreakHoops5 One of the best ball player ever!!!

@FastbreakHoops5 At some point it's just going to have to be generally accepted that Anthony Edwards is a spectacular athlete who just isn't that bright.

@FastbreakHoops5 Drafted in 1993💯

@FastbreakHoops5 Players oozed skill back then, they played within themselves because they understood playing winning basketball requires discipline. But they actually learned their skill through playing basketball all the time, not stupid trainer drills.

@FastbreakHoops5 Yeah and he swept prime MJ. But nobody likes talking about that.

@FastbreakHoops5 Penny was unstoppable and smooth, McGrady and Carter were freaks, Webber had all the tools… and so on.

@FastbreakHoops5 One of my favorite players in the 90s! Him and Grant Hill were my biggest what if (no injuries).
