I have been fond of the NBA for more than ten years. From the time Jordan won the NBA championship for the first time to now, I will not miss the championship and All-Star games almost every year. However, my most admired idol is not Jordan, but It is someone who may have been forgotten by everyone - Anfernee Hardaway.

Penny&Me

——A belated spiritual gift·written before Penny came back·completed two years after Penny retired

No one can make Jordan a The supporting character in the photo may have been a different person ten years ago. Look at his calm and confident eyes, which are in sharp contrast to Jordan's caution and seriousness. What comes out of his eyes is sharpness, real sharpness! This kind of vigor even made His Majesty Jordan feel a little frightened at one stage.

In 1995, when he was 23 years old, Jordan came back for the first time. In the Eastern Conference semifinals, Anderson stole the ball from Jordan. He brought the ball to the frontcourt to assist Grant. The latter's dunk separated Jordan and his Bulls. Eliminated from the Eastern Conference Finals.

Maybe you remember him?

Maybe you have already forgotten him

But you must admit that he is the only one in the history of magic who can be described as full of aura. Genius...

Part One·Love at First Sight

It is sad for people who started to like basketball in 1994, because in this era, His Majesty Air Jordan won the first place in his career After winning three consecutive championships, he chose to retire. But the children who started to fall in love with basketball in that era were also lucky, because they could witness the rise of a genius with their own eyes.

Pence is a true genius. Perhaps from now on, he is more suitable for the term "Jealous Talent", but compared to all the players in the "post-Jordan era", no one is more worthy than him. It deserves the word "genius".

It was a game between the Orlando Magic and the Golden State Warriors. It can be regarded as the first NBA game I watched after I started to like basketball. Both teams have a player named Hardaway at the No. 1 position, one of whom is known as the "Magic who can shoot jump shots."

Full of agility is the most suitable description for him. Although he is 2.01 meters tall, he can accomplish everything that a small person on the court can accomplish. Soon, this man became the first and only idol on the basketball court.

In the summer of 1995, the Sharks and Pence teamed up to eliminate Jordan and his Bulls, who were coming back for the first time, and reunited with the Houston Rockets on the stage of the Finals. For me, it was an era of hard study. In the first game of the finals, my classmates and I escaped to his house during recess just to watch Penny's performance.

Anderson's four consecutive missed free throws became the beginning of the Magic's misfortune, but Pence was also one of the sinners of the defeat in the first game. On the Rockets' final possession, he was dazed by a fake shot from Kenny Smith, who hit a 3-pointer that sent the game into overtime.

That was not a finals for the Magic. The Magic, which reached the finals for the first time in history, were swept by the Rockets 4-0. Penny's light was not covered up. In the finals, he averaged 25+7+7+ points per game. The data proves his ability.

Pence was selected to the All-Star team in the middle of that season, and was subsequently named to the All-NBA first team. In the following season, in the first 15 games that O'Neal missed, he even averaged 10. 27.0 points, 5.8 rebounds and 6.5 assists, and led the team to a record of 13 wins and 2 losses.

Another star is born!

After Jordan, people are always looking for his successor, and Pence is the first young player to be labeled as "Jordan's successor".

In 1994, my friends and I just started to like basketball. Jordan's name was very popular, but I was attracted by this second-year rookie. His mustache, his hairstyle, and most importantly, his style of play.

In 1995, Xu Lei, who was in Class 6 of the second grade of junior high school, bought a copy of "Bo". The most popular sports magazine at the time had a special report on Penny, a photo of Penny's dribbling breakthrough and the ground. Tilt at a 45-degree angle, the muscles on the arms are sharp and angular. Later, I cut out the words from the penny and stuck them on my bedroom wall.

Part 2·The Idol Era

At that time, Penny was in full swing. He and O'Neal co-starred in a basketball film called "BLUE CHIPS" , in the last second of the climax of the game, his pass to the Sharks helped their team win.

It’s incredible that a film that I can’t find now was actually seen by me in 1996. All the details in the film are now blurred. All the memories seem to be the cooperation between Pence and O'Neal on the last alley-oop.

In the era of Jordan's first comeback in 1996, three players, including Pence, were seen as the future of the NBA. At that time, a magazine called "Basketball Illustrated" published a highlight edition of the three of them.

The entire book is a picture album of three people, Shaq O'Neal, Penny Hardaway and Grant Hill. The photo titled "The Strongest and Most Beautiful" of O'Neal and supermodel Cindy Crawford on the front cover is probably the most stunning photo in the album. But I like the part about Penny even more. A close-up of Penny wearing a blue jersey will stay in my mind forever.

At that time, all my friends had begun to like basketball. Dandan liked Sharks, I liked Penny, Dongdong liked Hill, Mao B liked Rodman, and Guozi liked Jordan. This book was kept by Dandan, who loved O'Neal, at his home, but unfortunately due to the move, the whereabouts of this book are now unknown.

Fortunately, I unexpectedly received two large penny posters at a street stall, and those two posters have now been put into frames and hung on the wall of my new house. .

Part Three·Crazy Obsession

Although Jordan was still the absolute top brother in the late 1990s after his first comeback, for the younger Pence, he has begun to become An idol figure promoted by the NBA league.

His Nike advertisement is defined as "a flying penny", his "1 and 1/2" dolls are popular in the United States and Japan, and his No. 1 Magic jersey tops NBA jersey sales The top three, after a game where a band-aid was applied to the brow bone after it was broken, the band-aid on the brow bone actually became the most popular decoration among NBA fans for a period of time...

In 1996, the first oil game In the Administration High School League, I participated in the competition with my friends when I was still a freshman in high school. Our team uniforms were black and white from the Orlando Magic. Before the game, I went to the barber shop and asked the barber to give me a penny haircut with a penny in the middle.

That is a hairstyle that American players call "Peanut". When I heard someone shouting "Hardaway, Hardaway..." during the game, I knew in my heart that I What you want is that effect. In that game, we ended up finishing third in the board because we fell on the free throw line. Years later, that basketball team family photo of me with a penny haircut is still the most memorable part of my memory.

Of course I am not the only one who is obsessed with pennies. The most popular comic book at the time, "Basketball Flyer", also used pennies as a model to create the most powerful player in Japanese high school basketball, Sawokita Eishi. . From 1994 to 1998, Pence was the most glorious four years. In these four years, Pence was selected to the All-Star team four times in a row and the All-NBA First Team twice.

Remember the All-Star Game in San Antonio after the Flyers came back in 1996? When Pence came on the court, the Flyers jokingly removed his pants. This was a joke, but also an honor. In the eyes of the Flyers, Pence at that time was undoubtedly the best idol in the future of the NBA.

At that time, I watched the game videos of Penny playing and imitated Penny’s playing style. Every Saturday night at 1 o'clock, at the beginning of "NBA Highlights", I can see again and again the scene of Penny in a white jersey flying in the air and dunking on Ewing.

“Just like you”, do you still remember this advertising slogan? This advertising slogan is the best interpretation of penny.

Part 4·Destined

I don’t know if the word “destined” is appropriate to use in the story between me and Penny, but now that I recall what happened at that time, I always feel that there is nothing better than this. Words are more appropriate words. Because I like Penny, I have wanted to be a player like Penny since I started playing basketball in 1994. That is, he can score and pass the ball and become the team's No. 1 position.

Dandan, who is 1.94 meters tall, is one of my best friends. Because he is obsessed with sharks, he always relies on his weight of nearly 110 kilograms (once) to dominate the basket. In the first days when we started playing basketball, we seemed to have really become the pennies and sharks of the team. Some very simple blocking coordination could cause headaches for opponents of the same age and even adults.

His English name is "shark", and he always calls sharks "his brother"; while my English name is "penny", and when he calls sharks his brother, Pence naturally became "my brother". When Dandan and I were running rampant on the local golf course, we never imagined that the changes between Penny and Shark were gradually affecting us.

The most earth-shattering news in the summer of 1996 was that the Sharks traveled west to play in Los Angeles, leaving Pence alone in Orlando. The collaboration between the two at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics was the final swan song. At that time, we all thought that O'Neal went to Orlando for money. Later, during O'Neal's rotation, I learned that the situation at that time was:

Pence, who was selected to the NBA first team for two consecutive seasons, believed that he had the ability to claim the title. As the team's boss, he should get a sky-high contract like the Sharks, but the Magic's management blindly believes that Pence is Orlando's only hope and box office guarantee.

Although Shark said many years later that the years on the court with Pence were wonderful, in 1996, after Orlando's owner rejected the Shark's contract, Orlando and Pence's bad luck also began.

The story between Dandan and I is the same. Before the friendly match with Karamay No. 4 Middle School in the summer of 1996, Dandan said that he had some problems with a sprained finger. I didn't think much about it at the time, I just said casually: "With or without you, we can win."

We did win that game, but this sentence made us the same as penny sharks , began a long cold war. For the next six months, we didn't speak to each other. It wasn't until we graduated from junior high school, and with the help of friends at the dinner table, that we restored our relationship as before.

However, it is impossible for Penny and Shark to come together again, at least for ten years they have not joined forces again.

Part 5·Destined Ⅱ

In the first two seasons after Shark left, Pence's performance was pretty good despite having begun to be troubled by injuries. In the 5 games against the Heat in the 1996-97 season, he averaged 31 points per game. In the subsequent 1997-98 season, he only played 19 games due to injury. From that time on, the knee began to be officially called... Penny’s Nightmare.

1998 is a year worth remembering for me. When Dandan and I were making a bet that year, I easily jumped up and grabbed the basket of No. 3 Factory Middle School. In the game against the "Gaoyi Gang", the top four basketball schools in Karamay City, we easily won by more than 20 points. That year, in various friendly competitions, my friends and I almost swept the entire city of Karamay.

However, since the Authority High School League is held every two years, in that year, apart from winning the respect of our opponents, our strength was not recorded in any available information.

Just like Penny's bad luck and Magic's bad luck started with one knee, so did my bad luck.

In the winter of 1998, I accidentally damaged my meniscus while dunking on the bench. At the time I thought it was just a sprain, but when I woke up the next day I couldn't even walk. For the next two months, I had to rely on friends to take me to school. What worries me even more is that half a year later, I will also take the additional physical education test for college entrance examination students.

Three months later, I was limping and could already play on the basketball court, but except for shooting and passing, I couldn't do anything. I couldn't defend, I couldn't rebound, I couldn't even get the ball off the floor.

In May 1999, my knee injury improved. Although I lost my former explosive power and speed, with the efficacy of Fenbid, I was still able to exercise without pain in a short period of time. During the sports overtime that year, I didn't even do any running training for a day, but I got into the Physical Education College of Xinjiang Normal University because I scored enough points in basketball.

The period when I was injured was also the most sluggish season for Pence in the Magic.

Due to injuries, he only played 19 games, and then went to the Suns. In his first season with the Suns, he averaged 17 points, 5.8 rebounds and 5.3 assists. The statistics are still top-notch, but he is no longer an All-Star in the hearts of fans. In the following season, he only played 4 games due to injury. From that moment on, the "flying pennies" had completely said goodbye to everyone.

Part Six·Encountering Blue Spray

In June 1999, I said goodbye to my high school life and welcomed my college life in September. Xinjiang Normal University is one of the best schools in Xinjiang, but compared with other universities across the country, both software and hardware facilities are vastly different.

In my first year of college, because there were not enough dormitories, my new classmates and I lived in a row of small bungalows around the school. There were no TVs here, which meant it would be very difficult for me to see Penny games in college.

I can’t watch TV, and I don’t like to read newspapers, and I don’t like to use the time of skipping classes to hide in the cafeteria and watch the only TV. For a time, I was suddenly isolated from the entire NBA. But across the ocean, Pence’s story didn’t end.

At that time, Penny had finished his 6 seasons in Orlando. He joined the Suns in a sign-and-trade situation and formed the famous "backcourt" with Jason Kidd, who was in the limelight at the time. 2000". In his first season with the Suns, Pence was still the soul of the team. He averaged 16.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per game, becoming the only two people in the league at that time who could score 15+, 5+, and 5+

College life is very simple and boring. Besides basketball, it’s just basketball. Children in the physical education department don’t seem to have many hobbies. During a chat, my roommate asked me who my favorite NBA star was? I said pennies. The roommate only replied with a simple sentence, "That's a talented player."

Although Pence had begun to suffer from injuries in 1999, his strength still existed, and his jerseys were still selling in the NBA. Top ten, and his sneakers have reached the fourth generation.

It was a warm-up match between classes. We had a rebounding match with the 99-level Uighur class. Due to our strength, we quickly gained a big lead. (The Uighurs are very accomplished in football and volleyball.) The big brother of the Uighurs couldn't help but come on. He is our senior student from the class of 1996 and the point guard of the school team.

I played against him during the time he was on the court, and on one of my drives I couldn't help but be attracted to his sneakers. It was the legendary "blue spray", the earliest one-time molding technology, and the best-looking signature sneaker when Pence was playing for the Magic.

A brief hesitation resulted in a steal and a fast break. This was a fast break that I did not return to defend. Watching Aizizi (school team guard) layup and the "blue spray" on his feet, I couldn't help but think that it has been a year since I saw Penny play in at least a year.

Part Seven·Meet Pence Again

I couldn’t see Pence’s games, and I didn’t even know about Pence. I just knew that after transferring to the Suns, Pence had a hard time. Happy, not just with his knee, but with his status in the team. From the winter vacation of 2001, after a year and a half, I saw a complete penny game again.

Although the Suns' latest jerseys don't fit as well as the Magic's jerseys, Pence is still the team's best player in every aspect of the game. That year, the Suns sent Kidd away in exchange for Marbury. Pence and Marbury didn't work well together.

Due to injuries, Pence's data has dropped to averages of 12+, 4+, and 4+ per game. During the game, it was obvious that Pence was no longer the core of the team. In many attacks, Pence did not even have a chance to touch the ball. In the few situations where he has the ball, Pence can still send out beautiful assists, but his athletic ability has dropped drastically, and what's even worse is his confidence.

Throughout college, I only watched two Penny games, one was this live broadcast on CCTV, and the other was the CCTV replay of the 1995 Eastern Conference Finals between the Magic and the Pacers. Seeing Penny play again a year and a half later, I felt more sadness than excitement rather than excitement. It's hard to imagine that the "quasi-role" player on that team on the TV screen was the genius of that year.

When players such as Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady, Carter, and Iverson are called the new generation idols of the NBA, and players such as O'Neal, Garnett, and Duncan are called the backbone of the NBA, Pence, a former star in the league, A genius who was one of the five best players, seems to be slowly being forgotten.

From the initial core to an average starter, in the end in order to train the young Joe Johnson, Pence was even directly reduced to a substitute. There has been less and less news about Pence. Judging from the statistics, injuries have caused his career to begin to decline.

During college, O'Neal and his Lakers completed three consecutive championships, while Pence and his Suns did not enter the playoffs for two consecutive years. The only gain was the use of draft picks in 2003. Stoudemire Jr.

Part 8·Who do you like?

In the summer of 2005, I had been a basketball reporter for two years. That summer, I learned for the first time from American players about their love for Penny. evaluate. It was a Sino-US basketball competition. The Chinese National Youth Team led by Zhou Pengdelhei, the Beijing Shougang Youth Team led by Bai Di and Merdan, an American star team composed of NCAA motley crew, and another team from Korla Local teams.

After waiting for the U.S. team at the airport, I briefly became friends with an American player who looked exactly like Beckham. On the train from Urumqi to Korla, we communicated in the carriage.

"Who is your favorite player?" I asked.

"Duncan, my teammates all say that I look a bit like Duncan (I don't see that he looks like Duncan). I hope to become a player like him." This guy named Zach American players said. In fact, his height is only 1.94, and his position is not center.

"Who is your favorite star?" he asked.

"Same name as mine, Penny hardaway!" I blurted out.

"He's a genius!" Zach said.

"Yes, but now he's not playing well," I always feel a little sad when talking about Pence's current situation.

"You are wrong," Zach said seriously. "He is still playing very well, but his body is not in good shape. The injury allowed him to reach a higher level."

This is a problem I have never thought about. Even though he was suffering from injuries, Pence still played very well, but in the minds of the coach and teammates, those knees can no longer be regarded as belonging to the team. Core and assist points.

When Pence went to the New York Knicks in the 2003-04 season, he averaged only 9.7 points per game as a supporting role in the team's offense during the regular season, but in the playoffs his data rose to 16.5 points per game. Becoming the player with the biggest difference in statistics between the regular season and the playoffs that season.

That year, I lived in Wangjialiang, Urumqi. I got up at 7 o'clock in the morning and went to an Internet cafe to watch the NBA playoffs live broadcast on ESPN. That was the last time I watched Pence live. In the fourth playoff game against the New Jersey Nets, Pence scored 19 points, but the team still lost.

Averaging 16.5 points per game in the playoffs and 20.4 points per game throughout his playoff career. Perhaps this data can truly show the value of penny.

Part 9·Hero***Love

Blogs suddenly became popular in 2006. It was during the World Cup that year that I also opened a blog called "Backboards" Pennies on top”. On the blog, I occasionally publish some articles that I have published in newspapers, and sometimes I improvise and write a few competition reviews. Soon, a message caught my attention.

His ID is penny guo, (later I found out that his name is Guo Lei). He left a message on my blog, "So your name is Penny too. It seems we are destined to be together. I also like basketball and we have the opportunity to play together."

Soon, he and I posted a message on my blog After chatting, this guy is 1.82 meters tall and weighs about 100 kilograms. He plays inside. Although they simply communicate through blog messages, they can also form a certain level of knowledge on all opinions on the game.

In September 2006, I made up my mind to leave the newspaper office where I had worked for three years to work in Beijing. This was a difficult decision, and I finally made up my mind. He left me a message and wrote:

I had the same idea after I met you, but I didn’t expect you to set an example for me.

"Chuang" is a song by Mayday with good lyrics.

I support you. If you have anything to talk about, I would like to meet and chat with you if I have the opportunity.

On September 12, 2006, I arrived in Beijing. Soon Guo Lei became my friend on MSN. Not long after arriving in Beijing, we had our first experience of playing together. It was a Saturday, and I went to Beijing Construction Engineering to find some fruit to play with. Then Guo Lei sent a text message asking me to go play basketball in Chaoyang Park. Because we were bored, Guozi and I decided to go to Chaoyang Park to meet this friend.

The final result was that because Guozi and I didn’t understand the route, we took nearly 2 hours by car and spent 25 yuan on a taxi to arrive at Chaoyang Park. As a result, since I haven't practiced for a long time, I played for 30 minutes and then took a rest.

I met Guo Lei for the first time that day. He is a very forthright Beijing boy who plays basketball extremely fiercely due to his physical condition. Meeting him was probably my only gain that day. In addition, we spent nearly 4 hours on the road back and forth that day, and only played 30 minutes in Chaoyang Park. This experience was passed down as a "good story" by Guozi.

Guo Lei’s family lives in the Capital Sports Institute, not far from the house I rent, so we have more opportunities to meet. Now, I have been in Beijing for nearly three years. We have the opportunity to play together once a week. On the court that our unit rents four times a week (the location is at the Capital Sports Academy in his home), as long as he is there, we can play together. Basically invincible, you must know how important it is to be a giant under the basket in amateur competitions.

Guo Lei is the first friend I met when I came to Beijing. From blog to reality, it is a bit incredible, but I have to thank one name - penny.

Part 10·Jersey No. 1

When I was a sophomore in high school, on an ordinary night, I was playing ball at the court in front of my house. There was a young man from the technical school wearing a blue Penny jersey, and I thought it would be great if I could have this jersey.

After work, I have been looking for penny jerseys. Even when I was in Urumqi, I dragged my friends in Beijing to look for a penny jersey. It would be after 2004, and it would be really difficult to get a penny jersey. But after arriving in Beijing, by chance a penny jersey fell from the sky.

One morning I was at work, and as I walked past the media development department, I saw a black Magic jersey hanging on an empty seat. When I found out that the name on his back was not Tracy McGrady but Hardaway, I had only one idea to get him. (Of course it’s not stealing or robbing, it’s buying it).

As a result, I was never able to contact the owner of this jersey. It was only later that I discovered that the badge on the person’s seat was not his. By chance, I found out that the owner of the jersey had a good relationship with my colleague DTT, and then I got the jersey through DTT.

Obviously the owner of the jersey didn’t care about the black penny jersey. When he gave it to DTT, he told us that he bought it when he was in high school and spent 298 yuan on it. At that time, I had an idea in my mind: I would definitely make money this time.

This jersey now hangs on the wall of my house. Although it is only an offset fan version, it is definitely a treasure for Penny fans. You know, it's hard to get your hands on original Penny jerseys these days, even if you have the money.

In 2008, TB began to sell worsted penny jerseys, and I bought a blue Magic No. 1 for 149. In 2009, the Suns penny retro worsted jersey appeared on TB again, and I was ready to pick up another one. Although it is a precise imitation, it is still worth remembering.

Part 11: The Penny Curse

Playing with O'Neal again in 2007 did not revive Pence. After playing 16 games with the Heat, the 36-year-old In the end, he was abandoned by the team. Although in these 16 games, he started in 8 games. Averaged 20.3 minutes per game, 3.8 points, 2.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.2 steals.

Here are all the stats from Penny’s final season, plus that one game that turned back the clock.

On that night in New Jersey, Penny made all 6 of his field goal attempts, including 4 three-pointers. He scored the second-highest 16 points on the team in the game, helping the Heat defeat the Nets. That night, he was surrounded by reporters' microphones and recorders. He had not been treated like this in at least five years.

On December 13, 2006, Pence was purged by the Heat, and his NBA career ended completely that night. Since then, there has been less and less news about Pence. Except for the NCAA finals at the University of Memphis where he appeared as a guest, Pence was completely forgotten.

Many people say that Penny is a curse, whether you believe it or not, or it really is a curse. The two most beloved players in the league combined to play less than 40 games in the entire 2008-09 season. The Wizards' Arenas is even more miserable, having only played 15 games in each of the last two seasons, while the Rockets' Tracy McGrady exited the season early to prepare for summer surgery.

Arenas once disclosed on his blog that his favorite player is Penny, and Penny's style of play is what he admires the most. And Tracy McGrady's choice of No. 1 jersey with the Magic says it all. Without injuries, both players would have been All-Stars, but now injuries seem to have cast a shadow over their careers.

There is actually another player who likes Penny. There is a video on Youtube of "Little Emperor" James being interviewed by ESPN. In that interview, he said that he liked Penny's playing style. Fortunately, the little emperor is not a human being, so the penny curse has no effect on him at all.

I have a friend who works in a basketball agency. He once told me that he hopes to move Penny to play in the CBA league in the 2009-10 season. The reason is simple, Pence doesn't care about money, he just wants to play ball. But the reality is cruel. How much help can the 38-year-old Pence provide to the CBA team? There is no problem with his skills and experience, but his physical fitness and confrontation make it difficult for him to take advantage of younger foreign players.

In this life, there may be no chance to see Penny play again.

Part 12·Life goes on

The penny era has long passed, but life still goes on, and this former genius can only remain in the depths of memory. In 2009, Nike launched a replica version of AIR PENNY II, which is a classic in the penny sneaker series.

In the 1997 All-Star Game, Penny wore AIR PENNY II. That was Pence's third All-Star Game, the peak of Pence. In that All-Star Game, Pence became the starter and scored 19 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists in 24 minutes of playing time.

There was an insert in "Contemporary Sports" that year, in which Jordan and Pence stood side by side. The caption is very meaningful: "Penny: Pick took his place; Jordan: Too early, too early"

At that time, Penny was wearing AIR PENNY Ⅱ on her feet. 12 years later, the popular AIR PENNY Ⅱ was revived. Now, before these shoes were launched in Beijing, my friend bought a pair for me in Shanghai. After two actual matches, AIR PENNY Ⅱ was not very suitable for me, so I finally decided to keep it as a collection together with the black Penny jersey.

In 2009, I gained more than just penny sneakers. Before going home for the Spring Festival, I went to a friend’s place to take a video test of two penny games. One of them was O'Neal's first game back in Orlando after joining the Lakers. In that game, Pence scored 25 points and 13 assists, but the limelight was completely stolen by the young Kobe.

In January, I saw a resource on eMule, a DVD collection of all NBA All-Star Games. It took me three days to download all the four All-Star Games that Penny participated in from 1994 to 1997.

In February, the NBA All-Star Game was held in Phoenix. The Heat's No. 3 Wade suffered a bruise on his cheek bone in a previous game and had to wear a colorful band-aid. CCTV commentator Yu Jia said, “I don’t know if you still remember that here 15 years ago, in that All-Star Game, there was a person with a colorful band-aid on his eyebrow bone, and that person was Penny Hardaway.

"

In 2009, Penny also appeared on the cover of the American sneaker magazine "SOLE" to promote his new sneakers "penny 1/2". This is the latest news and pictures about Penny in 2009, From the game between the Magic and the Warriors in 1994 to this photo of Pence's sneakers in 2009, Pence has returned from genius to ordinary, but life will go on.

When will the next Pence be? To appear?

Maybe we don’t need the next penny at all. Being able to see the only penny in the world means that we are already very lucky. (Quoted from netizen gsongi: We don’t need to expect the next penny, we can see this. The only penny in the world means we are lucky )
