God has given generously of his unparalleled talent, but the peak moment in his life stingy took his knees, and even his future. However, Hardaway has never given up hope, for his efforts and determination to continue to support him.
one: her grandmother next to a beautiful boy
July 18, 1972, Memphis, Tennessee, an ordinary small hospital, birth of a baby boy. His mother, Fae had intended to give this little guy named Anthony, but the doctors are listening to become a strange combination of circumstances of the Anthony Anfernee, then Anfernee Deon Hardaway came to this world. Hardaway's family, like most African American families, in the middle and lower classes of society, life quite difficult. he was very young, my father left home Eddie Golden, His mother is also the time he was only 6 years old in California alone to pursue their singer dream, only to come back each summer to visit his son, so young Hardaway and his grandmother, Louise can only be in a poor Memphis A single room in a difficult area depend on each other .9 years old, Hardaway got his most precious gift ever, it is a old steel folding bed, but this is the first time he has one of their own bed.
Although life is extremely difficult, but Louise was the only great love that their grandchildren, often proudly called him Pretty, but the old man a southern accent, it sounds very much like Penny, Penny then this name to the neighborhood to spread. life poor, does not mean indulgence of life, Louise has never relaxed the discipline of Penny: whether to go to school or holiday, had to keep early hours; no matter how much homework, watching TV had to be completed ; not allowed to assault; allowed night out; Every Saturday we go to church; and when Penny Treadwell admitted after high school, Louise went to her grandmother grandson's school and even became a chef, every day, stay with Penny sitting under study learn school bus. In this discipline, the young Penny did not complain about their children the same age as freedom. But now recall everything for their grandmother, Penny mind only gratitude. love the people! In a long day of high, like many African American children, he also realized that only professional sports can be completely rid itself of poverty. for themselves, and to love their grandmother, Penny picked up the basketball, onto the pitch - - the ghetto the only place away from drugs and violence. hard life Penny created a persistent character, he never stopped training hard on the court, coupled with his extraordinary talent, and soon the name to become Penny a small piece of the loudest on the court. But an occasional accidents are almost ruined his basketball career, hooligans brawl in a local incident, happened to be from there through the Penny pistol shot in the leg by shrapnel, Penny thought his basketball career would end here but the good news last only a false alarm, and immediately after discharge lively Penny returned to the basketball court.
II: Memphis, Tennessee, not New York, Chicago and other cities like debauchery, where people living in Memphis created a gritty character, but also created a Memphis basketball tough style of play. Louise grandmother often tells Penny: and must not rely on others. the alma mater high school scoring record of 3039 points, but also to honor his left one. averaged 36.6 points, 10.1 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 3.3 steals and 2.8 blocks, born!
put on the basketball court because a lot of effort, Penny's academic performance plummeted. high school, he took the test four times before reluctantly try to enter the Memphis State (now renamed the University of Memphis .) study based on the poor, powerless to meet the standard exam, the school denied his first year playing for the right of school team. often recall that incident, Penny always said: of got slapped! Best New Artist and received the Division Two Player of the Year awards, was also chosen to join the USA Basketball Team USA Basketball Development, as a in worship from the TV superstar: Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, of course, Michael Jordan, making him the first time aware of the distance between themselves and NBA is not far away. and in the first two games, the development of even the boys team also defeated the strength of the super surprise , but he did make an impression on me! : rebounds, 6.4 assists, 2.5 steals and 1.3 blocks in the all-around performance, scoring 729 points to become a school single-season scoring record of history, so that Penny could not help these achievements from his future plans. He remember the grandmother teachings, to decide their own future, so he opted for the NBA draft in 93 years, and wish I could be the Orlando Magic selected.
III: Orlando NO.1
1993 on Draft The General Assembly is the NBA draft history, one of the most dramatic Fu (later only in 2001 can be compared with the NBA Draft), missed the playoffs last season, 11 teams, the score was only the best Magic 1 / 66 chance to be able to get The Magic Penny was selected in the development of team-mate Shaquille O'Neal .80 s, Kareem Abdul-jabbar and achievements of the Los Angeles Lakers Magic Johnson's party dominance, Penny also wish I could write a new and O'Neal for Orlando legend.
Penny Magic requires active contact phone tryout, and gave the team a life-size portraits, but the response he received was a Magic team will pick in the first round pick from Michigan State's star forward Chris Webber. Penny was from Memphis, how can match two consecutive years to help the team into the NCAA finals Webber it? Orlando fans are looking forward to O'Neal and Webber both large sub-super potent combination. But at the time holds the No. 3 pick in the Golden State Warriors, is strongly of the desired Webber, so they and the Orlando Magic on draft day to complete the transaction, Webber and Penny swap the hat. Orlando The fans are extremely unhappy, deal was announced just been published, they issued a stir in the cry: brilliant!
and signed the contract after the Orlando Magic, Penny did not like the other young millionaires are disclosed as gold and silver for himself, buying a car. The first thing he did for his grandmother bought in Memphis 4 acres of land for a share of the house to express their care for the grace of my grandmother for many years appreciated. After filming the first Penny is also pressing for food advertising and starred with his grandmother! in his childhood under the influence of hard, Penny actively involved in various charitable activities, like his grandmother warned him that, in their own way to help the people who need help.
Four: Standing the to join the Orlando Magic lineup has been further improved .93-94 season, the Magic to 50 wins 32 into the playoffs with negative results for the first time. O'Neal shine this season, not only in the regular season destroyed two rebounds, was also named that year's NBA 3rd team.

Although the competition in the Best New Artist Penny narrowly lost to Webber, but the rookie game MVP trophy is a comfort to many. In the playoffs, the lack of experience, the Magic 0-3 lost to them out of the playoffs last quarter of the Pacers, but for Penny, this is undoubtedly a success on stage.

Of course, Skiles Penny in 2001 and again later, but the sun is where the coach Penny's identity, which is something. not only So, coach Brain Hill also used a long limousine hired from Miami of God pitcher Brian Shaw, as Penny on the bench. and Penny sneak in this holiday, with O'Neal and his teammates took part in the movie Chips -95 season and became the nightmare of all opponents, they almost unbeaten home, won 41 games, 39 games.

But Jordan and his Bulls is the protagonist of this season, they unprecedented 72 wins and 10 losses into the playoffs, even if the Magic could not stop Jordan revenge steps. Although Penny in the playoffs averaging 28.3 points, 6.0 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.7 steals, but still could not avoid the Magic Bulls in the Eastern finals by sweeping out the fate of 4-0. reported the revenge of the Bulls team's morale high, the finals in the next 4-2 easy to get the Payton and Kemp led Seattle, successful ascent.
