Penny Hardaway is an NBA legend, but his sons call him coach.
The former Orlando Magic player’s sons, Jayden, born in July 1999 to Nikki Ward, and Ashton, born in July 2004 to Dionne Richardson, seem to have inherited his basketball skills. The brothers played on the University of Memphis basketball team in 2024, with Penny as head coach.
On the court, Penny said he knows he has “a job to do” but also makes sure to put the role of dad first, as he told ABC24 Memphis in June 2024.
