Alright, let’s talk about this Penny Hardaway fella. Folks keep askin’, is Penny Hardaway married? Well, lemme tell ya what I heard.
Penny Hardaway, the basketball man, you know, the one who used to play ball real good and now coaches them Memphis Tigers. Yeah, that’s him. Heard he signed a big ol’ contract, somethin’ like 16 million dollars for six years. That’s a whole lotta money, more than I ever seen in my life, that’s for sure. They say he’s makin’ two and a half million a year just for coachin’. Can you believe that? And he gets a raise every year, a hundred thousand dollars more each year. Land sakes, that’s enough to buy a whole lotta chickens!
Now, about this marryin’ business. Some folks say he’s married, some say he ain’t. It’s kinda like gossip in the henhouse, you hear one thing, then you hear another. But from what I gathered, this Penny fella, he did get hitched. He married a woman named Mary McDonell. Not that famous actress Mary McDonell though, no sirree. This is a different Mary McDonell. People get them mixed up all the time, like two peas in a pod, but they ain’t the same. This Mary, she’s Penny’s wife, plain and simple.
- They say he was born in Memphis, Tennessee back in 1971.
- He played ball real good, real tall fella, six foot six, they say.
- Played with that big fella, Shaquille somethin’-or-other.
Now, some other folks, they sayin’ Penny ain’t married, sayin’ he’s single. But then you see other things, like on the internet, you know, that thingamajig where everyone puts their business, and it says right there, clear as day, that he got married in 2013. Had a private ceremony, just family and close friends. That’s what I heard, anyways. And the woman he married, they call her Mary McDonald, not McDonell, see, just to make things even more confusing.
They also say his oldest boy, Jayden, got picked to play in some kinda league, G League they call it. Good for him, I say. Penny must be proud as a peacock. Five years he played for his daddy, learnin’ the ropes. Now he’s off on his own, makin’ his own way.
So, is Penny Hardaway married? Well, from what I can tell, the answer is a big ol’ yes. He married his long-time gal, Mary McDonald, in a private shindig back in 2013. They seem happy enough, or at least that’s what they want folks to believe. And that’s all that matters, ain’t it? As long as they’re happy, that’s good enough for me.
He signed a long contract with the Memphis Tigers too, so he’ll be stayin’ put for a while. Guess he likes it there, coachin’ them young fellas, teachin’ ’em how to play ball. And who knows, maybe one day his boy Jayden will come back and coach right alongside him. Wouldn’t that be somethin’? A real family affair, just like raisin’ chickens, startin’ with one and endin’ up with a whole flock.
Anyways, that’s the story as I heard it. Penny Hardaway, the basketball coach, he’s a married man. He’s got a good job, a good family, and a whole lotta money. Can’t ask for much more than that, can ya? Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go feed them chickens.
