So, the other day, I was watching some college basketball highlights, University of Memphis specifically, and it got me thinking about Penny Hardaway. Great player back in the day, now coaching. It just popped into my head – is Penny Hardaway married? You know how sometimes these random questions just appear.
My first move, like always, was just to grab my phone. I opened up a browser and typed in something simple, probably just “penny hardaway wife” or “is penny hardaway married”. Straight to the point.
Got a bunch of results back, naturally. Some sports articles, some older stuff about his playing career, and yeah, some hits that looked like they might answer the question. I skipped past the obviously junky sites, the ones full of pop-ups, you know the type.
Digging a Little
I started clicking on a few links that seemed more legit. Saw mentions of past relationships, which sometimes clouds the picture. You see an old article mentioning someone, and you’re not sure if that’s current. So, I specifically looked for dates on the articles or mentions of his current status.
Found a few pieces mentioning a wedding. It took a bit of reading through a couple of different sources, just clicking around, to piece it together consistently. I saw the name Nikki Carlton, sometimes Nikki Jackson, pop up associated with him more recently. It seems like she’s the one.
I checked a couple more spots just to see if the story held up. Looked for maybe some photos or recent event mentions. Seemed consistent enough for me. It wasn’t like digging for state secrets, just satisfying a bit of curiosity that came up while watching sports.
It’s funny how you can go down these little rabbit holes. Started with watching a game, ended up doing a quick dive into the coach’s personal life. Anyway, seemed like I got my answer. He is married. Took a few minutes of searching and clicking, but figured it out.
