ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) The Orlando Magic have inducted Penny Hardaway into the franchise's Hall of Fame.
Hardaway, a game-changing point guard at 6-foot-7, becomes just the fifth player in franchise history to be inducted into the team's Hall of Fame. He was enshrined during a pregame ceremony Friday and will be honored during a special halftime presentation during Orlando's game against the Milwaukee Bucks at Amway Center.
Acquired by the Magic during the 1993 NBA Draft, Hardaway spent six seasons in Orlando where he averaged 19 points, 6.3 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.95 steals per game. Hardaway and center Shaquille O'Neal guided the Magic to the NBA Finals in 1995 where they lost to the Houston Rockets.
Hardaway remains third on the team's all-time steals list (718) and fourth in assists (2,343).
