Penny and Shaq: Fredo returns to Michael’s home
You’re nothing to me now. You’re not a brother, you’re not a friend.
Penny Hardaway, he of the unlimited potential in his youth, and extremely limited post-op knees, is returning to Shaq’s side. I can be a misty-eyed sentimentalist as much as the next man, and of course I remember the dominance of that young Orlando team, but what about these incredible quotes from Shaq a few years ago:
“The difference between those three is the Godfather trilogy,” O’Neal said in classic Shaq-speak. “One is Fredo, who was never ready for me to hand it over to him. One is Sonny, who will do whatever it takes to be the man, and one is Michael, who if you watch the trilogy, the Godfather hands it over to Michael. So I have no problem handing it over to Dwyane.”
It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to realize Shaq was comparing Kobe to the psychotic Sonny, and Penny with the weaker Fredo characters from that movie. There only seems to be one that O’Neal would go to the mattresses with. As for Wade, last night it was his shot that sent the Knicks to sleep with the fishes.
“I would love to see the ball in my hands, but I’m not the best player or the best shooter on this team,” O’Neal said. “I don’t mind handing it over to Michael Dwyane Corleone.”
Now, at the end of Godfather 2, you might recall a scene where Michael orders one of his killers to end Fredo’s disappointing life. He does the classy thing and tells him to wait for their mother to pass away first, but still it is one brother ordering the execution of another. Penny, do not go fishing with Dwyane Wade or one of his friends.
P.S. does that make Smush Parker the irritating Andy Garcia character from Godfather 3?
Ok, I kid I kid. Just can’t resist movie analogies. He has to make the team first. Isn’t it funny how Penny and Steve Francis were traded for each other. In part I of Myles’ Reasonable Doubt epic, he mentioned that people get turned off by guys getting paid tens of millions without earning it by “playing basketball.” Penny and Steve are not so proud members of that not-so-exclusive club. The mysterious rehab in Memphis of Penny Hardaway was pretty funny for us Knicks fans. “Yeah I’m working really hard here. I just want to play. Hey is there a $15 million check waiting for me? Do I have to keep doing this? I mean, yeah I’m working really hard on this rehab. I love the game!” Well, it’s good to see that Penny still has that fire to play. I remember listening to a Knicks pre-game show on the radio a few years before they played Cleveland, and Penny was the interview subject. Johnny Hoops asked him “Are you going to tell LeBron, hey I used to be like you?” He kind of was. Skinnier, more starch in his jersey, had a better puppet for a sidekick, but Penny was robbed of a legendary career by injury as much as anyone ever has been. The Eastern Conference is becoming the feelgood story conference.
And while we’re on the topic of feelgood stories, I want to say congratulations to SLAM’s Art Director Stephen Goggi, the king of all banners. His wedding is tomorrow. Lady readers, you missed your chance. See you tomorrow Steve-o.

I’d be willing to be by the end of training camp, that Penny doesn’t get a roster spot. It will be taken by the return of Heat legend, Sasha Danilovic.

And I hope Riley is coming back to coach this abortion, because no one else deserves this roster.

Hisham says:
lmao.. BUT to prevent confusion, wouldn’t his jersey have to read P HARDAWAY? or PHARDAWAY or Fart Away? I know his name is Anfernee, but they should totally use P as his initial

Fart Away, #10..

In other exciting news: While at work, I just balled up a piece of paper, and tried to throw it over some desks and into the paperbin. I missed it badly, as i overthrew it, and it hit the ceiling before landing on my desk. so i walked back to my desk, and as it turned out, the paper landed IN my full cup of water!!! So off the ceiling, straight into a cup of water.. i left it in there, and it will accompany me for the rest of my work day

Appologies for not being relevant, although i do remember the first basketball mag i ever picked up here in the UK had Shaq & Penny on the cover, but Heroes has now started on terrestrial TV (we’ve had 4 episodes so far). Soooo good. Heroes > hype.

They should make a new series of Lil Penny commercials where he’s all old and complaining about the braces on his knees while he sits in an ice bath and gets fed tylenol from Heat dancers.
Aug.10 at 9:08 am
Dwill says:
First of all “Hisham” I do share your excitement, that really is hard to good shot. Then I would like to say to “white hot eboy” that I do think that Penny will have a spot after training camp. He already has a spot (the one that they took from Eddy Jones) and all he has to do is last till January to keep that spot and get all the money involved in this deal.

By the way, congratulations on your shot.

lol Hisham. nice shot. I’m going off the ceiling, off the fax machine, around the water jug and into the garbage. first to miss buys the other a Big Mac… ALSO…to the Slam Staff, i’d love to see a piece with a compilation of The Big Aristotle’s best/most memorable quotes, any chances?

sam i like the analogy…here is my take..is this a good idea…sure if you like a train-wreck britney style..for me a shoe head…can you say fire-red penny foams??? and well once shaq rings penny’s neck..all will be good with him and kobe…i am cool with this!!!
Aug.10 at 9:18 am
white hot eboy says:
I think to be more relevant, Lil’ Penny would have to replace Tyra Banks quips with “That’s Beyonce, fool” since she makes her way to at least a dozen Heat games a year with HOV.
Aug.10 at 9:21 am
Ryan Jones says:
The Godfather analogies are great, but I think we’re missing a more obvious comparison: Penny is Tony Soprano. No one is completely convinvced that either one of these guys is still alive.

Since the new site was made, I GET NO WORK DONE!! it used to just be a quick read of the links, which would usually take 20 minutes, and then back to work, but now, with all these fun comments to read and all the new content.. man. i love it, but i hate it also..
Aug.10 at 9:36 am

But how can you hate on Lil’ Penny? www.clutch3.com
Aug.10 at 9:42 am
Madtice says:
I totally identify with you, Hisham. It has become a full time job keeping up to date with all the new content, plus all the comments. It’s a drag. Somebody should pay me for this. By the way, I just threw a behind-the-back no-look piece of paper through a plant, against a wall, into a waste bin. I’m willing to sign your water cup, if you want to.

Egggggggxcellent. Then the plan is working to get people to stay on our site all day long. However, it is better for you (meaning us) to keep clicking on all the various pages around the site than to keep refreshing one post for new comments. One way boosts our # of pages viewed, the other boots average time spent per day on the site, which is good in a different way. But I’m no salesman so I don’t know what the payoff will be.

I think I have all of you guys beat, in it’s beautiful simplicity. I just hit a 9 foot jumper that used that bounced off our receptionist’s ass and hit the garbage can next to her, all net. When she turned to look at me, I said, with much sincerity, “did that hit you?” Plus she wasn’t mad so that was cool. BTW, she is FINE, in a Salma Hayek type of way. I was inspired. Thanks guys.

Khalid Salaam says:
Penny was top five for a good 3 year stretch. People forget that but had he not gotten hurt he was on his way to a hof or at least close to hof career. sure playing with the best player ever (i’m no fool, are you?) helped him tremendously but his game was almost flawless. lebron is much bigger then penny was but quickness, handle, ability to get a shot off under pressure, etc was very close. neither was/is a great defender either.
Aug.10 at 11:17 am
Madtice says:
I just had the best shot ever. I started at the three point line, cut inside, gave byron russell a shove, went up, drained it and won my sixth NBA Championship. YOu had to be there to believe it.
Aug.10 at 11:18 am
Sam Rubenstein says:
the year after Shaq left, Orlando played Miami in the first round, and fell behind 0-2 when it was best of 5. Penny was banged up as always, but he went off in games 3 and 4, maybe going for 40 twice, at least the high 30’s. In game 5 he was at it again, but Tim Hardaway had one of those crazy games he would have from time to time where he’d get hot and just start nailing 25 footers with a guy in his face. And PEnny was never the same after that cause of his injuries.

Still @ work.. can’t be trying new HORSE shots for a while, because my supervisor just decided to sit down next to me L that sucks.. Eboy: I bet “Salma” put on a smiling face toward you, but in the back of her head the words SEXUAL HARRASSMENT MONEY flashed on in big ol’ neon lights.. and then she probably figured that you can’t pluck from a featherless chicken.. haha that’s a dutch saying, but it actually translates pretty well!
Aug.10 at 11:34 am
Ben Osborne says:
Eboy, I’m a little skeptical of your receptionist looking like Salma, but good for you if she does.
Aug.10 at 11:35 am
white hot eboy says:
Hisham, since I am cool with her, I’m fine on the Sexual Harrassment tip. And if by featherless chicken you mean “no money” I’m one of the posters here that have a job, a house, a couple of cars, and what not, she still wouldn’t get anything if she wanted it because I’m her boss and handle the personel matters in our office. Thanks, though.

white hot eboy says:
Uhm, Ben, I do live and work in South Florida. There are more latinas here than almost every other state. And usually attorney’s offices like to have a “nice” figurehead at their front door to bring in potential clients, so take that for what it’s worth.

Khalid - I know Penny’s getting a little long in the tooth, but I didn’t realize that he played with Wilt.
Aug.10 at 11:49 am
jbn74sb says:
eboy - I have no doubt that the receptionist may look like Salma. There are 20,000 college girls here in Santa Barbara, and my applicant pool for receptionists could pass for an audition for America’s Next Top Slut.
Aug.10 at 11:51 am
Hisham says:
the fact that you’re her boss doesn’t change the fact that she could sue you.. hubris is not a good quality! i’m just kidding though.. wish i had salma’s as employees that i can use as a prop to bounce a ball of paper off her ass and into the trashcan, and get back a smile for just having done that and then tell her: that was funny wasn’t it? now get back to work..
Aug.10 at 11:58 am
Cheryl says:
Sexist pigs…
Aug.10 at 11:59 am
white hot eboy says:
Hisham, in reality, when I threw the ball I had no intention of hitting her, it just kind of found it’s way there. Probably sublimanal manipulation on my part, I guess. And I know her personally on the outside of the office (she’s babysitted my son a few times)so we are truly cool. And Bodie, I can only imagine what that audition room would look like. Unreal.
Aug.10 at 12:10 pm
Ben Osborne says:
Eboy, awesome point about the enviable number of Latinas in South FLA. I guess my disbelief stemmed from the fact that I am a huge Salma fan and find it hard to believe she has many clones, regardless of where you are. But I will stop arguing and just be happy for you.
Aug.10 at 12:13 pm

sorry, Cheryl. (Serious) sexism is just as bad a racism, so being called that ISN’T FUN! i just hope you typed that comment with a smile on your face, because you should know that all jokes aside we’re all very civilised young men.. although in some cases, i’m not so sure about the young part

Young Chris #3 says:
For real though, lmao… Penny used to be a beast. That was my favorite player growing up, him and Shaq equally shared that spot actually, and against the Heat it was 40+ in games 3 and 4, and I think he had at least 30 in games 2 and 5 as well. Dude also had a good year his first year in Phoenix (him and J-Kidd had almost identical numbers), and as always, he stepped up in the playoffs (especially in the series against the Lakers). Unfortunately, his second year in PHX he got hurt bad and never recovered from it really… though with Steph, Matrix, and Amare he had a solid season (was among the league leaders in points the first month or two of the season as well). I don’t expect him to do much, but I’m hoping his jumper is intact because I can’t see the Heat really expecting much more than that out of him (although he is good on the block and has always been a smart/amazing passer, posting up, out of bounds, or on the perimeter).

Cheryl, Ryan’s “gimmick” is Farmer, people from the “country” are sometimes called farmers. Hence, by calling him a predator, Ryan “the countrified lion” Jones, I tried to make him out to be a “country” lion. Like “Big Country” Reeves. I couldn’t think of another way to describe it unless I used an offensive comment, so I went with it.

Are you guys getting paid per comment??? Damn, I don’t know what it is about Ryan, but the interest of his first column since whenever is at such a level that the comments turn into the first prototype of a SlamOnline forum. Speaking of which… isn’t that a good idea, Ben? So far, I came up with the SlamStore and the SlamForum… I’m on a role this week. I’m out like Penny Hardaway, so expect me back in about a year or three…

Aug.10 at 4:20 pm

Off course, I was completely thrown off by the comments on Ryan’s new column and forget this was in a Rubenstein column. That’s how far this comment section has taken a turn for the worst. By the way, Hicham, does your boes take applications? I’m looking for a new job and I like one where you can check Slamonline all day. We’d all better rate our jobs in 1 to 5 stars according to how Slamonline-friendly our job is. Slamonline-employees are excluded automatically. By the way, SlamJobmarket… that one I just threw in for three, Ben

Well, Madtice, I’m currently working on a dissertation, so my “job” is extremely Slam-friendly. Unfortunately, there’s a flip-side: When I hand in a mishmash study of Deadwood/Penny Hardaway/Scarlett Johanssen/Optimus Prime/Steve Francis next month I’ll probably get shot blindfolded by a firing squad. But until then, bring on the countrified lions and office waterball, baby!
Aug.10 at 6:52 pm

If there’s anything we, the United Group of Commenters of Slamonline, can help you with your dissertation, we’ll be very willing to cooparete. Off course, I can only speak for myself. What is it about?

Tariq says:
It’s about the relationship between Joseph Conrad and Fyodor Dostoevsky, which sounded interesting before I had to read non-stop about those two. Now I just want to read some Garfield or MAD or…I don’t know, Judy Blume even. Anything that doesn’t have to do with character doubling, autocracy and confession.

I really wish Penny never got hurt. Just imagine what the Heat could do with a penny in his prime! Penny would play point and wade at the two. They would truly be the BIG THREE IN THE EAST. I just hope Penny can still get a little air to raise up for a jump shot. I just don’t know why Miami wants to get rid of eboy though. They need to give him at least another year at the point to see what can happen. play wit it.

Customer service (answering phonecalls & e-mails)… Extremely SLAM-unfriendly in such a way that if i get caught doing this, it’s my ass… Fortunately, the people at my job aren’t very bright. If I keep it up at this rate though, you might catch me commenting from my home PC sooner than I had hoped for…

STOP HATIN ON PENNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! why do so many people hate on penny, he only had a couple of healthy seasons and still remains on everybody’s mind, no player apart from maybe g.hill has played such little time healthily and been so well remembered. In the time he was healthy, Penny was easily top 5 of all time. And thats the truth.
