Grant Hill(Air Aparrent to Michael Jordan), Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway, or Shawn Kemp (Reign Man), I liked all 3 of these guys, I was a teenager and to see them play back in the days was exciting to watch! Whose everybody's favorite out of these three?

Penny Hardaway played with more emotion than Grant Hill and could get the crowd into the game, giving his team an advantage. All three were great players (Grant Hill was NEVER the "air" apparent to MJ) with a lot of talent and a lot of heart, but Penny was the most exciting. Reign Man was fun to watch but was only a power forward. Penny and Grant could both play guard or small forward, could both slash to the bucket or pull up for three. Grant had a better understanding of the fundamentals of the game, and will make a great coach someday.

I'd give a slight, slight edge to Penny Hardaway... Grant Hill was by far the most fundamentally sound player of the three. Penny could be spectacular at times, Grant was basically perfect. Penny was a good all around player as well.
I never particularly liked Kemp. Yeah, he could dunk, but so could everybody else.
I've never been all that impressed with dunking anyway...when I was in high school, we had games on the playground where we wouldn't let anyone play who couldn't dunk... dunking was never that big a deal to me.. the people who are most impressed with dunking are the people who've never been able to do it.. but of course, that's no doubt true of a lot of things.
I thought that Kemp's fundamentals and footwork were atrocious. He basically got by on sheer brute force in high school, and because he was 6'10 or 6'11, there was no doubt that someone in the NBA would sign him. He certainly might have benefited as a player by going to college, but maybe he needed the dough. He was never all that good.
I'd never have walked across the street to see Kemp play basketball.

Grant Hill when he was healthy...I didn't watch games then but I've seen a few on ESPN classic and saw some highlights of back then.

I love to watch Grant Hill, currently we are waiting to see if he is going to retire. It has been a while since he has been able to really play
