Since you brought up Penny Hardaway, Akeem had Ralph Sampson during the Rockets' 1985-86 run to the Finals. The Twin Towers. Sampson averaged a double-double that year.
What about Clyde Drexler in 1994-95? Drexler took a team to the Finals in Portland.

And the 93-94 team was essentially the same squad that lost the the Sonic the previous year and then won a Jordanless season in one of the more underwhelming years in league history. No 60 game winners and a real lack of punch throughout the league.
I won't asterisk it or anything, but I think it's hard to give any extra credit for it either.
