The question about one of the Orlando Magic's brightest former stars always lingered: "Where is Penny Hardaway?" An answer — albeit, surprising — finally came. Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway was in Memphis, working out in a gym and calling into The Bottom Line Sports show, an Internet radio program he co-hosts, announcing he wanted a chance to try out for the Miami Heat after their acquisition of All-Stars LeBron James and Chris Bosh. "I can understand where Michael Jordan was coming from coming out of retirement a couple times, I can understand where Brett Favre is right now," Hardaway said on the show. "When you still have something in the tank it's really hard to let it go." Miami was the last team Hardaway played for, in 2007, but Orlando will always be home to his best days of professional basketball.

He should consider being on their coaching staff. If he wanted to prove that he still had what it takes to play he should've considered playing overseas or even in the D-League to polish his game and get exposure. Unfortunately my last memory of him was being in a Knicks uniform and doing absolutely nothing on that squad. He needs to get real (go for coaching staff position) or understand there's no deal (not suiting up on a roster).
