for sure Kobe was MJ’s successor…but I think Pennys scoring would have increased without Shaq on the team…then again when he went to Phoenix it actually decreased if I remember correctly

he wasn’t a great defender though you’re right

he was a pass first guy bro

the year shaq left he was still healthy and averaged 20 ppg

his career high is 42 points

mj and kobe had entire months averaging that lol

well shaq needed a kobe level co-star and while penny was great, he was no kobe

penny hardaway was pissed when shaq left for the paper 
and a teenager outa philly would become the greatest laker
back to back to back yea there's a new goat in town
bill walton said throw it down big man throw it down

Penny never had that Jordan and Kobe level jumper. 

He could shoot, dribble, drive, dunk on an almost Kobe and Jordan level.  He actually was a better passer than Kobe and Jordan as a point guard that was nearly 6'9" is like Magic Johnson.  But the one big thing that set Jordan and Kobe apart from everyone else was that they had that jumper they could pretty much go to and get a decent shot off on any and every possession.  That Jordan jumper never gets talked about enough. 

Other aspects like Jordan and Kobe being great finishers, you had guys like Scottie and Penny that were also great finishers—and even Ron Harper and Kukoc a really good finisher.  That's another aspect that doesn't get talked about enough when people talk about those great Bulls teams was how they made it look so easy finishing around the basket—that if they gained the slightest advantage over the defense they cashed in nearly every time.

Kobe had the best range of all those shooters too...he not only was a successor to MJ but an improved version
