Episode 139: Penny Hardaway with Kelly Dwyer

Jim is joined by Kelly Dwyer, pioneer of the NBA blogosphere, to break down the hall of fame candidacy of former point guard Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway. First, Jim and Kelly cover Penny's MVP-caliber season in 1996 (he ended up finishing 3rd behind Michael Jordan and David Robinson that year) when he carried the Orlando Magic after Shaquille O'Neal went down with an injury (7:22). Next, they compare Penny to Tim Hardaway and David Thompson, and discuss Penny's underrated college career at Memphis (35:36). Finally, they break down just how significant Penny making two All-NBA 1st Teams really is, before making a final call on whether or not Marbury deserves to be inducted into the HOF (55:54).
