On Feb. 24, 2006 the Orlando Magic waived Anfernee (Penny) Hardaway after obtaining his contract from the New York Knicks in a trade for Steve Francis. I must say this is the worst form of disrespect a seasoned veteran could receive.

Penny has appeared in 60 playoff games averaging 20.6 points and 6.2 assists. He made four straight All-Star appearances (1995-98) and has averaged 13.8 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.8 rebounds. Named to the All-NBA First Team in 1994-95 and 1995-96, and to the All-NBA Third Team in 1996-97. Averaged 31 points against the Miami Heat in the first round of the 1997 NBA Playoffs. A member of the gold medal-winning United States Olympic Basketball Team during the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. Appeared in the 1995 NBA Finals against the Houston Rockets. Named NBA Player of the Month for November, 1995. Named MVP of the inaugural Schick Rookie Game, scoring a game-high 22 points (8-9 FG, 4-6 FT), during the 1994 NBA All-Star Weekend in Minneapolis.

In case the video above didn’t make it clear watch this one also (Mute first: Music with Cursing):

Man I love these clips of Penny SCHOOLING Jordan, Pippen, Kukoc, Kobe, Shaq, Jason Kidd and Iverson. Not to mention dunking on Robinson, Ewing, and I think one of the Davis brothers on the Pacers.. he got it the worst. {mos_sb_discuss:7}

I hate it when people stop posting on their blog and they come back and title a post "I’m Back". That’s corny, so don’t be doing that. I was thinking about doing this big come back where I get Tariq to do a guest post, well inshallah he’ll do one anyway. Since I last posted I’ve gone through some transitions. For those who don’t know.. IM ENGAGED! Alhumdulilah and am set to get married on the last weekend of July. Post comments on Wedding preperation ideas. Yes brothers this is your chance to be J-Lo, ugh I mean my wedding planner.

 Since I last posted, I officially "graduated" from YM… which means I’m over the hill (go ahead kids call me uncle). I mentioned ILF, the Islamic Learning Foundation on my blog before. I am spending almost all my weekends there. This year at the ICNA Convention since I won’t be doing anymore YM stuff, I’ll be holding down the ILF Booth in the Bazaar.

About the Blog itself.. update your RSS feeds because I’ve moved from Simple Blog to Joomla. In case you didn’t notice the site is much more robust now. If you click on any images itt’ll take you to a bigger version of the image in the gallery. There is also a lil mini-forum on the site now. At the end of each post there is a link to add comments (no user registration required). I don’t know if I’m more excited about the engagement or the new blog (ha, just kidding yaar). Also look for some cooky things to come. I’ve started designing my own Joomla templates… inshallah that means theres good things to come! I’m have to repost all the old user comments manually which means two things: The dates are going to be wrong for when the comments were made (till i fix them in the db)… the second is it will take me some time to put em all up… I also have to fix broken links to images and some other little annoying things. Another cool thing is the feed me section. Through RSS feeds I can show you content from other peoples site from my site. Thanks for all the content guys Blogspot sucks for not doing RSS, too bad the Atom to RSS parsers suck. [Edit: Problem solved: Feedburner converts blogspot atom feeds into RSS!] Click around tell me what you think of how the site looks now compared to before. Make sure to check out the Reviews and Nostalgia sections.
