At the beginning, first hope
In this nonsensical festival
People won't be making any excessive jokes
And then
Is there some credibility in talking about what happened in the NBA today?
After all, the other side of the ocean had just announced the end of March
And on the last day of March
This year's Hall of Fame inductees are basically settled
Three former NBA players are listed:
Ginobili, the famous coach George Carr
and Tim Hardaway
Compared with the past 10 years, there is still a strong sense of existence
Demon Knife and Carl
Tim Hardaway's name
Presumably only in game discussions
After all, this old comrade born in 1966 is already 55 years old
It's been 20 years since I retired
Although Hardaway has been named to the best team several times
and has been selected as an All-Star five times
But he was still forgotten for many years
Even in his own son Little Hadaway
After entering the league
People still put Little Hadaway at one point
Think of it as the son of Penny Hadaway:
Yes, that's the real thing
Although you can be on the profile of Little Hardaway
See it clearly
“Tim Hardaway Jr”
But there are still many people who misidentify it
So much so that Little Hadaway needed to tweet clarification himself:
But fortunately, the looks of the two are relatively similar
And there are also some similarities in technical characteristics:
At least in blacksmithing...
Hardaway Jr. once made 0-of-12 in a single game
And the NBA's single game 0 hits the most shots is his father
The old Hardaway, who used to be 0-of-17 in a single game
As a descendant of Tim Hardaway
Pence Hardaway, who only entered the league in 1993
He was hand-picked by Jordan as one of his successors
In the career of the duo
The two did not have much intersection
Because when they changed teams at their peak
Just went to the opposite partition
One from east to west and one from west to east
But most of the time
The name of Penny Hardaway is much louder
For a long time
People assume that the name Hardaway belongs to Penny Hardaway
Even in this era of developed networks
There are still people who rightfully ignore Tim Hardaway:
But compared to the jealous talent, Anfenni, who quickly fell due to injury
Tim Hadaway's peak length is obviously longer
For one played 14 seasons
A player with 17.7 points and 8.2 assists per game
Tim didn't seem to get the respect he deserved
He was chosen by the Warriors
In the late 80s and early 90s
With Richmond and Mullin
Made up that era
The Warriors' history is still a strong lineup worth mentioning
He averaged more than 20 points and 10 assists per game in two seasons
Paul, now known as the god of point guards
It was also broken at the beginning of this year
Maintained by Tim Hardaway
20 points, 10 assists and 0 turnovers
So many years have passed
He's still on the all-time assists list
Maintained the top twenty position
After he crossed east to Miami
He still averaged nearly 20 points and 10 assists per game
His combination with Mo Ning also shocked the four sides for a time
Despite a 14-year career
Tim Hadaway failed to get into the O'Brien Cup
But its team has always had a certain competitiveness
And the discussion at the data level aside
Tim Hadaway pioneered the crotch dribbling
It is to set the tone for all the fancy moves of cash
Simple and neat movements plus a quick first step
Become a weapon for him to kill the basket and shake off opponents
Magic Johnson describes it this way
"When you face him
After hearing two snapping sounds
You should realize you're already behind him."
And such a person who can talk about contributing to basketball
Why did it take so many years to get into the Hall of Fame?
This is probably because of 2007
Hardaway, who has been retiring for more than 3 years
Made some inappropriate remarks against homosexuals
At one point, he was blacklisted by the NBA
But then he realized his mistake
And in later years
Actively engage in and support the gay movement
After today
Hopefully people will take the name Tim Hardaway
Remember more firmly
After all, in the Hall of Fame file
He was indeed ahead of Penny Hardaway
But who is greater?
That's the question
There is probably never an answer
