After sitting out all but four games last season because of knee surgery--the fourth knee surgery of his career--Penny Hardaway has returned to the Suns and is playing like he never missed a beat. TSN's Sean Deveney talks with Hardaway about the Suns, his knee and his image problem.

TSN: How is the knee holding up? How have you been feeling to this point?

PH: I am feeling great. It's like every normal basketball game now--I am a little sore when it is over, all over my body. But the next day I recover.

TSN: What was last season like for you, not being able to play?

PH: It was tough, real tough.

TSN: What's the toughest part?

PH: The mental part, I would say. You're wondering if you are going to get well for one thing, wondering if you are ever going to play again. And you are getting all this bad press for being out. I was sick of it. It was really tough. It was discouraging.
