Penny Hardaway has made a name for himself as a coach of the Memphis Tigers. But the former NBA All-Star also wants to coach in the NBA. “I definitely want to coach in the NBA,” Hardaway said on The Draymond Green Show. “I get my juices flowing when I sit in the arena. I get my juices flowing because I feel like I can help a lot of young guys because I know the game. I played the game and they still respect my brand and who I am.”

Penny Hardaway, who was on the Magic both years, explained on the 'Out The Mud' podcast what the difference between Jordan in 1995 and 1996 was. "We ain't gonna discredit that MJ wasn't at the top of his game, because how could you come from baseball and be at the top of your game? But MJ on the floor is MJ, right?" "In the beginning, MJ was like, 'We've been winning championships ever since the last few years that I played. I'm gonna come back and win the chip.' And he didn't. We beat him. That gave him extra motivation. Then he had the whole summer." "95' MJ was good. 96' MJ was ridiculous. He came back with a vengeance. Put the cape back on—the Superman, whatever you want to say—and he put the team on his back, and they went 72-10 and won the championship... You knew it was a difference because he had a whole summer to think about what had happened."

Vernon Maxwell on Anfernee Hardaway: Penny was a problem, one of the first 6-9, 6-8 point guards we have ever seen. He was a problem. When they put LiL Penny out there they kind of f*cked him up. He should have left Little Penny in the damn background. He got bought in all that, you get caught up some times, you get caught up in that sh*t instead of doing your job. But yeah Penny was a problem.
