LeBron James has been in a nostalgic mood lately, like the rest of us who love basketball, since all we have to look back at highlights of the past and memories of our favorite players from over the years. But when NBA players are doing the looking back, we tend to learn some interesting things that we often don’t hear in another form. Even though NBA players are as bored as they’ve ever been, that has often led to some stories or anecdotes that we didn’t know before. One of them came last night from LeBron James on his Instagram story, where he shared that Penny Hardaway is his 2nd favorite player of all-time.
“MY GOD!!! MY 2ND FAVORITE PLAYER OF ALL-TIME MAN! LITERALLY COULD WATCH HIM PLAY EVERY NIGHT!!” James wrote on his Instagram story on Thursday night, sharing a post that featured highlights of Hardaway from his days at Memphis before jumping to the NBA and being drafted by the Orlando Magic.
Hardaway, now the head coach at Memphis, is also featured in an UNINTERRUPTED-produced show for ESPN+ that follows his team.
