Meet Penny Hardaway, a former four-time NBA All-Star Champion and current head coach for the Memphis Tigers. He had his initial career sightings in football, but his overprotective grandmother and guardian didn’t let him.

That said, let’s quickly run through Penny Hardaway’s net worth.

Who is Penny Hardaway?

To better know the athlete, we must first debunk the notion of his name. Penny isn’t his real name but rather a nickname from his grandmother’s failed attempt to call him ‘Pretty.’ Suffice to say; his real name is Anfernee Deon Hardaway. Penny lives, breathes and talks Memphis from his birth to his collegiate basketball career.

Nonetheless, there was an incident of a robbery which saw his foot shot that almost ended his career.  Moreover, he was slacking academically that saw him sit out most games. In spite of all these challenges, he emerged with an education major and a first-round NBA draft to the Orlando Magic in 1993.

He played both as the shooting guard and point guard alongside Shaquille O’Neal from 1993 to 1999. He got traded to the Phoenix Suns where he played for half a decade before getting another deal at the  New York Knicks. The athlete was traded back to the Orlando Magic in 2006 before and lastly to Miami Heat in 2007 where he parted ways with his pro-NBA career.
