Penny was pretty good in his day pre-injuries. Yeah he was a great shooter, but he also had a whole career to hone his game.
For those of you that don't remember, here you go:

He is like Michael Jordan.
Don't be afraid to say it.
Well all can see that he is the next Michael Jordan.
Why do people keep saying his jumper isn't that good. It looks pretty sweet to me.

He **** al over Pippen in this video. Ive seen clips of him outplay Jordan as well. A shame that his career was affected by injuries
Just wait until you're 31 like me and your sack hits the water when you drop a deuce. You really start to see things differently. (a.k.a. correctly)

Yeah, both he and Grant Hill would've been REALLY special had it not been for all their injury troubles. Grant Hill used to average LeBron-like numbers in Detroit.

Sack hits the water eh? Ha. Im surprised that you don't have the libido of a nun, seeing as you're in your 30s and all.

That's a shame, a true shame. He was amazing to watch.

I was watching the game with one eye, trying to pay attention to my kid with the other. All of a sudden I see a flash on the screen and realized it was Burks streaking in for a layup. Get these guys to play more open offensively (i.e. not the drop it into Al style) andUtah can be very good. I actually saw some good P&R attempts tonight. We don't get any of that with Jefferson.

Burks and Favors are the only allstar potentials right now on the Jazz.Burks has a longer way though and he is nowhere a Wade like player, Wade is just a animal.

Penny Hardaway before his knees disintegrated was a 6-7 point guard who could do alot of things, but really like to post up smaller guards and could go middle and dish or spin baseline and could elevate and dunk with ease. Really dont' see the similarities to Burks, but if we absolutely must compare Burks to another NBA player, at this stage in his career he reminds me of a young Derek Anderson.
Comparisons aside, the one thing Burks has you can't teach is that natural ability around the rim, where he can hang, absorb contact and still get his shot off. Has the first-step, the natural quickness and elevation, but that craftiness and body control around the rim is what could make him special imo.

I had to buy a lift kit for my toilet seat just to avoid that problem.

You see it in his rebounding and defense as well; he seems completely unfazed by the speed and physicality of the NBA. Who was the last Jazz rookie that was true of?

Fair enough. Burks' skills blow Ronnie's out of the water though. I'm not expecting anything remotely close to Wade, but it should be fun watching Burks develop.
