10:38 AM ET 11.21 | Anfernee Hardaway is caught in the middle and wants to get out. He should be completing a brilliant NBA career but bad knees robbed him of that opportunity. He sits courtside at FedEx Forum in Memphis Nov. 13, a local icon, watching former teammate Shaquille O'Neal dunk and bull his way to 14 first-half points for the Celtics against the overwhelmed Grizzlies. And he wonders, "Why couldn't I have finished my career in grace?" Hardaway wants a chance to do that. At 39, he still feels he can contribute to a winning team. He believes he has enough skills left to come off the bench for spurts and enough experience to serve as a leader. "It's not about money," he said. "I saved my money, have all the money that I want. God has blessed me with that. It's really just the love of the game."

Penny as a player? Child please, he's done. He may have a shot as an assistant coach.

He was the best player in the NBA in 1994 and 1995...
... I still believe Shaq leaving Orlando was the beginning of Penny's demise.
Shouldered too much weight on that Magic team was O'Neal departed and his body eventually broke down under that burden.
Shaq leaving for L.A. affecting two franchises and two players tremendously.
