This guys was a really good player before he went down to multiple knee surgeries.....its kinda sad. He would have went down as one of the greats of his era if his body held on. I guess you can still say he was one of the greats from his era....he just didn't last long enough.

Too bad we were generous enough to pay him like he was still a HOF player of the future, even after his injury. We were like Lloyd's of London. He cashed in his insurance chip and wore a uniform on our bench for years.

It's mindboggling that Isiah agreed to take on that contract.

reminds me a lot of D Wade

I think Penny was way more of a finesse player.....Wade is all power and explosion. Penny just had a pretty game....he was a true assasin. He just attacked. Not too much dribbling but he was just a relentless offensive player. His post game was just sick for a guy so slim. That little part where he had Pippen on him? Pippen didn't know what to expect and Pippen was a world class defender.

he was my favorite for a long time. those injuries decimated his career. what a shame. even when he came over with steph, i think he did a nice job (when used correctly by lenny).and when he was healthy, he would kill the knicks when he faced us.

He had potential to be one of the best in the history of the game.

yeah, its a shame what injuries can do to a career. Him And Grant Hill. 2 great players whose careers were cut short.
