NBA icon and head coach of the University of Memphis Tigers, Penny Hardaway has become on for the most unique and respected voices in the game.
On the The Two Cents Podcast, Penny is joined by players, coaches and personalities from across the basketball landscape, bringing their unique perspectives together to give us the most compelling and informative hoops discussions on the game. From the AAU, to the NCAA, the NBA, international competitions, and beyond, they’re breaking down the game — the one on the court to the one played off it — to bring us inside the game, connecting generations through experience, insight and legacy.
When it comes to basketball life stories, Buzz Peterson has an all-time great one. From Asheville, North Carolina, Buzz came up as state player of the year, and was recruited by Dean Smith to the University of North Carolina in 1981. His teammate and roommate was, Michael Jordan, and before MJ was MJ, he and Buzz created a lifelong friendship. They won the national title at UNC, and that propelled Buzz to a life in coaching and player development.
He was the head coach at Tennessee, Tulsa, Appalachian State and UNC Wilmington. Living and working in the game, Buzz has established a strong reputation in recognizing talent. And now, he’s back with MJ, working with the Hornets as the assistant general manager. As Penny sees it, that loyalty and respect is evident in what’s building in Charlotte’s culture. While they have assembled a dynamic group of young, athletic and skilled players, it is that foundation that will make things succeed for the Hornets. Penny knows first hand, as important as talent is, identity matters just as much in creating a winner.
