Penny Hardaway (1999-2004) vs. Pat Garrity (1999-2008)
Pat Garrity retired as an end-of-the-bench NBA role player, rarely making the active roster unless someone ahead of him in the rotation got injured. And, to be frank, he has not been NBA-relevant in years. However, he finishes his career having played in 513 career games for the Orlando Magic, the second-highest total in franchise history. That's why there's a lot of Pat content here in the wake of his retirement: dude's earned it, 14th man or not.
The Magic acquired Garrity, a rookie, from the Phoenix Suns in exchange for Penny Hardaway, who became disgruntled in Orlando. Without comment, I present to you this table, which shows the players' totals with the franchises to which they were traded.
![]() Hardaway | vs. | ![]() Garrity |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Team | ![]() |
| 236 | Games | 513 |
| 2924 | Points | 3800 |
| 1071 | Rebounds | 1382 |
| 986 | Assists | 425 |
| 316 | Steals | 238 |
| 105 | Blocks | 101 |
| .444 | FG% | .413 |
| .326 | 3FG% | .398 |
| .799 | FT% | .817 |
| 0 | Dunks On Sam Dalembert | 1 |
The only non-lottery picks from Garrity's draft class who still have NBA contracts are Rafer Alston, Maceo Baston, Ryan Bowen, Greg Buckner, Ricky Davis, Al Harrington, Jerome James, Rashard Lewis (!), Tyronn Lue, Sean Marks, Cuttino Mobley, Nazr Mohammed, Rasho Nesterovic, and Brian Skinner.

Anyone remember when Penny wanted $230 million?

The year after Shaq left...
Penny wanted 10 years/$230 mil. ARod nor Garnett had signed their deals yet, so what he was looking for was absolutely ridiculous given the times.

Good thing Rich DeVos isn’t insane, then. And good thing the current CBA sets limits on contract amounts…
Remember Penny’s $180 shoes? Those were awesome.
