PENNY’S ALL-STAR DECISION ANGERS HEAT POINT GUARD
Having labored through the Heat’s 42 games, point guard Tim Hardaway criticized Orlando Magic point guard Penny Hardaway’s decision to turn his part-time schedule into a starting berth in the NBA All-Star Game.
The Heat’s Hardaway expressed disappointment and displeasure before Wednesday night’s game against the New York Knicks at Miami Arena when informed that the Magic guard had decided to appear in the All-Star Game despite being idle since Dec. 10 knee surgery.
“He wants to play in the All-Star Game more than he wants to play for his team, I think,” the Heat point guard said. “If not for the All-Star Game, he wouldn’t be playing for another two weeks.”
The Magic’s Hardaway has announced an ambitious return schedule that includes his first practice with the team Friday and participation in Saturday’s home game against Phoenix, which would give him three games in a week with Orlando before the All-Star Game on Feb. 8 in New York.
The Orlando guard was voted an All-Star starter in fan balloting. Considering he has appeared in only 13 games, it was widely thought he would skip the All-Star Game and continue his rehabilitation. The Heat’s Hardaway then was expected to be named the replacement starter by Indiana coach Larry Bird, who will guide the Eastern Conference.
“I think it’s not right,” the Heat’s Hardaway said when informed of the change of heart by his namesake. “I’d make it a minimum of 25 games before you start in the All-Star Game.”
While the Heat point guard was named an All-Star reserve in voting by conference coaches, teammate Alonzo Mourning was overlooked, even though he will have played in 24 games by the All-Star break.
Coach Pat Riley said conference coaches had the right to overlook Mourning, who missed the first 22 games following knee surgery.
“He’s missed half the season, so I think it should be fair,” Riley said. “Let’s pick who’s had the best first half of the season.”
Yet with Penny Hardaway in, Tim Hardaway wasn’t as willing to accept Mourning’s omission.
“It’s terrible,” Tim Hardaway said. “I think he should be there.”
Kings Director of Player Personnel Jerry Reynolds credited Penny Hardaway’s All-Star berth to commercials such as the “Little Penny” puppet campaign.
“Basically, players are voted on how many commercials [they make),” he said. “People that vote for these things don’t have a clue about basketball. They don’t know who the players are, in my mind. They know who’s on commercials. People know who Penny is. If ‘Little Penny’ were on the ballot, he’d have probably started.”
Celebs fill stands
Among those on hand Wednesday night were actors Michael Caine, Matt Dillon, Chris Elliott and Sly Stallone, actress Jennifer Lopez, singer Bobby Brown and filmmaker Spike Lee, who met with the Heat earlier in the day to discuss a commercial he will produce for the team. . . . Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy visited Tuesday for about an hour with brother and Heat assistant Stan Van Gundy. . . .
With so much made of Wednesday night’s meeting of rivals, Riley said the focus in the Eastern Conference should be on the Bulls and Pacers. “The rest of us, five or six or seven teams, are right on the brink and could go either way.” . . .
Reports from New York have the Knicks involved as a potential third party to a trade of Raptors point guard Damon Stoudamire to the Trail Blazers. Should Stoudamire go to Portland in a deal that involves Kenny Anderson, Anderson could wind up in New York for point guard Chris Childs and swingman Chris Mills.
