Penny Hardaway is currently on the list of nominees for the Naismith class of 2024. Hardaway was picked third by the GS Warriors in the 93’ draft but ultimately convinced the Magic to trade for him, so that he could play alongside Shaq. In his rookie season, Hardaway helped the Magic to their first playoff berth and 50 win season, by averaging 16 points, 6.6 assists, 5.4 boards while his 190 steals ranked 6th in the league. This jersey is photo-matched to multiple games, one of which was game 2 of the 94’ EC First Round where Penny registered 31 points, 5 boards, 7 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks at home against the Pacers. Another match is to 3/16/1994, when the Magic beat the Mavericks 100-98 at home. On the front left tail of this white mesh pinstripe, are two Champion labels. One is the ‘EXCLUSIVE’ tag with ‘BODY LENGTH +3’ and the other with wash instructions and size (46). Embroidered on the left breast is the NBA logo. Team name/logo across the front. Player number (1) below that and on the back, done in black on blue tackle twill. Player name (HARDAWAY) across the back, in blue tackle twill. Inside the back waistband of the shorts, are two Champion labels. One is the ‘EXCLUSIVE’ tag with ‘RISE +1 INSEAM +2’ and player number (1) handwritten in black marker, attributed to Hardaway. The other with wash instructions and size (38). Embroidered on the right thigh is the NBA logo. This uniform is properly tagged, presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows excellent wear. Accompanied by letters from both MeiGray and SIA Photo-Match, confirming the matches.
