Happy Birthday to Memphis Native and NBA veteran Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway. The retired American professional basketball player turns 43 today.
Penny was recently inducted into he National High School Hall of Fame.
The former Treadwell High School basketball star was the ninth person and first-ever athlete from the state of Tennessee to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
“We are extremely happy for Penny and his family,” stated Bernard Childress, Executive Director of TSSAA. “He is one of the best athletes in Tennessee high school history, and we are honored to have him represent our state as the first athlete inducted into the National High School Hall of Fame. However, more than what he did on the court throughout his high school, college, and professional career, Mr. Hardaway is an outstanding leader in his community and continues to give back to that community through his leadership and numerous charitable endeavors. This is a very proud moment for Memphis, the State of Tennessee, and TSSAA, but most of all, it’s a proud moment for the Hardaway family. “
Penny definitely makes Memphis proud. Enjoy! Happy B-Day!
