Penny's two for two. Not from the field; instead, it's two All Star Games.
Hardaway is well on his way to becoming a fixture at these events, with the dazzling combination of scoring (18 points in '96) and dishing (11 assists in '95).

1996 MIAMI HEAT

With SHAQUILLE O'NEAL gone to the Western Conference as a Laker; look for some terrific matchups between Shaq, arguably the game's top offensive center, and 'Zo, certainly among the NBA's most active defensive pivots.

SHAQUILLE O'NEAL

Year & Club
1993-1996 ORLANDO

Few rookies get a chance to play in an NBA All Star Game; very few get to start.
Shaq was the first rookie starter in the NBA's mid-season classic since Michael Jordan in 1985.
Infact, at 20 years old he was the youngest participant ever in the game's history.
