since the ORLANDO MAGIC advanced to the NBA FINALS (which they already did in 1994 with SHAQ in the lineup against HOUSTON ROCKETS which swept them to 4-0),ill be paying tribute to a phenomenal player that helped the MAGIC advanced to the 1994 NBA FINALS and also one of SHAQ's on court partner PENNY HARDAWAY...and yes he is a phenom.
ANFERNEE "PENNY" HARDAWAY
Anfernee Deon "Penny" Hardaway, the 6 foot 7 notorious point guard in the NBA...and probably one of the greatest point guards that played in the NBA. Too bad nawala na lang siya ng parang bula dahil na rin sa mga injuries nagpalipat lipat siya ng team naging MIAMI HEAT, NEW YORK KNICKS and PHOENIX Suns, but Penny is mostly known for his playing stint with the ORLANDO MAGIC and one of the key players that helped Orlando reached the 1994 NBA FINALS, too bad talo sila HOUSTON ROCKETS in 4 games in a sweep 4-0, still Penny proved himself to be one of the greatest NBA PLAYERS.
Few Info about Penny: Originally he was the 3rd pick of GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS in the 1993 NBA DRAFT but was traded later to CHRIS WEBBER by the ORLANDO MAGIC along with 3 players. In his stint in the NBA, Penny is a 4-time All-star, 3-time All-NBA Selection, 1994 All-Rookie First Team, 1994 Rookie Game MVP and Runner Up to Chris Webber in Rookie of the Year Award. He was known for his notorious passing skills with the height of 6'7 similar to MAGIC JOHNSON who is 6'9, which in the NBA they were considered to be the biggest point guards ever to play in the NBA.
Penny is also known to be one of the famous athletes of NIKE wherein the AIR PENNY SIGNATURE SHOES is one of the best selling signature sneaker line of NIKE, other than the JORDAN Series.
In celebration of the AIR PENNY signature series NIKE has come up with the idea and fused all the silhouettes of AIR PENNY Shoes and the FOAMPOSITE (which is also Penny's Exclusive Shoe but not a part of the series) and created the "NIKE 1/2 CENT"
