Penny for your thoughts after hearing this news?
A dream scenario for some Orlando Magic fans became much more realistic on Sunday after Shams Charania of The Athletic reported that Penny Hardaway has not only interviewed for the Magic’s head coaching job, but is a “serious candidate.”
Hardaway’s name came up immediately following the departure of Steve Clifford earlier this month, but it seemed more nostalgic pipe dream than realistic possibility.
Hardaway just signed a five-year extension to remain head coach at the University of Memphis, his alma mater where he is worshipped.
