We’ve been waiting on this one for a while! This week we got a Memphis legend as Anfernee Deon Hardaway — the one and only Penny — joins Q and D on Knuckleheads. The guys look back on Penny’s upbringing in Memphis, his dominating at Memphis State, and what it was like to get drafted to the Magic to play with Shaq. The four-time All-Star touches on the Magic’s run in the ’90s, going up against MJ, and what it was like when Shaq left for the Lakers. Penny was one of them ones back in the ’90s! Tune in !
