		There is absolutely nothing that Hardaway brings to this team except cap relief - and even that is not really worth mentioning his name and the Orlando Magic in the same breath.

	Penny article - Arizona Sports Fans Network
		Hardaway admits he struggled with the decision — one he calls his own — to take a back seat to Marbury, Shawn Marion and now Amare Stoudemire in the Suns’ offense, especially when Hardaway felt healthy for the first time since 1997, when his chronic knee problems began.
		At the core of Hardaway's drive was a desire to prove his critics wrong — those who said he wouldn't play hurt and those who said he should retire or give back the balance of the $86 million contract he signed with Phoenix before the 1999-2000 season.
		Hardaway, who has averaged 14 points and 8.5 rebounds in two playoff games against San Antonio, is even trying to impart some wisdom on the guy who will soon take his job: guard Joe Johnson.

		Penny, though, is comfortably off to the side, lying supremely across a couple of chairs, over by a table covered at every inch with a Styrofoam buffet of KFC.
		With all the male bonding swirling thickly around him, Penny watches the exchanges like something on TV, his eyes eagerly jumping from speaker to speaker--amused but not the least bit interested in getting into the thick of it.

		Penny Hardaway resembles the closest thing to Magic Johnson, the way he passed the ball, scored, defended, and made people look stupid!!
		Penny had 19 assists against Boston (4/13/1995) in a career high game, not even Jordan could do that.
		His most memarable commercial has to be with his own mini mi (Lil' Penny), played by actor commedian Chris Rock, and the lovely Tyra Banks, endorsing his shoe.
