The duo of Shaq and Penny started off in the movie Blue Chips with Butch McCray and Neon Boudeaux. While on set for the movie, Shaq was mesmerized by Hardaway and wanted the Magic to draft Hardaway in the 1993 NBA Draft. The Magic ended up drafting Chris Webber, but he was traded to the Golden State for Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway.
With Shaq and Penny as the cornerstones of the Orlando Magic, it created instant success. Both players were barely over 20 years of age, but they played mature well beyond their years. The two of them never won a NBA title, but they left many memorable moments on the hardwood. Check out the video below.
