Penny Hardaway remembers the good times
Anfernee Hardaway seemed to come and go in a flash.
He burst onto the team and helped push the Magic to greatness the moment he stepped in. His rookie year was the first Playoff trip for the Magic.

Nostalgia, Catharsis & Fun Rule at Dwight's All-Star Game
I imagine Anfernee Hardaway was nervous before taking the court at Dwight Howard's Celebrity Game on Sunday night at UCF Arena. Hardaway, after all, had a bitter break up with the franchise and has tended to stay away from the City Beautiful since then. His injuries took away the athleticism that had made him famous in the mid-1990s and helped spawn the first run into...
