Anyone know who made the Lil Penny puppet?

[practicecactus]

To jog people's memories, or for those too young to remember, Lil Penny was a little puppet version of Basketball player Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway who starred along side him for a series of Nike ads, and it was a little rod puppet, voiced by Chris Rock.
Can't find anything on who made it and would love to know more about it, if anyone can help.
