“Well, Lester Quiñones,” Hardaway responded to ESPN about which player caught his attention the most. “He played for me for three years and he is proud of his game. He is playing exceptionally well.

Quiñones was the best player of the day scoring 30 points with 6 long-distance shots in the victory of the Dominican National Team against the University of Memphis. Hardaway was also surprised about the reaction that the Dominican public had when he was introduced before the start of the game, unaware that he was so appreciated by the Caribbean people.
“I wasn’t expecting it,” ‘Penny’ told ESPN Digital. “But I appreciate it very much. I am very grateful for it. It was a great welcome.”
‘Penny’ also referred to the elements of her team that, although they put up a fight, were not at the expected level and justified it with the lack of official practices, taking into account that it was only a blank game, expressing her pride with her men.
Hardaway also referred to the inconveniences they had to go through with traffic in the city of Santo Domingo, since the journey took more than two hours, and about waiting inside the Olympic Center to access the Palacio de los Deportes.
