Tim Hardaway

Timothy Duane "Tim" Hardaway Sr. (born September 1, 1966) is an American retired basketball player, currently serving as an assistant coach for the Detroit Pistons of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Standing at six feet (1.83 m) tall, he was best known for his crossover dribble which was dubbed the "UTEP Two-step" by television analysts. He is the father of current NBA player Tim Hardaway Jr. of the Atlanta Hawks.

Early career

Hardaway was born in Chicago, Illinois, and graduated from Carver Area High School there. Then he attended the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) and played under coach Don Haskins, a future member of the Basketball Hall of Fame. Hardaway was twice named MVP of El Paso's Sun Bowl Invitational Tournament, in 1987 and 1988, and he played on teams that went to the NCAA Tournaments in 1988 and 1989. At UTEP he won the Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award as the best college player in the nation six feet (1.83 m) tall or under.

Hardaway was selected as the 14th pick of the first round, in the 1989 NBA Draft by the Golden State Warriors.

Famous quotes by Tim Hardaway:

"I hate them with all the hate you can hate with. Can you hate more than that? If you can, I hate them more than that."
"The post-game concert series is a tremendous additional entertainment feature for Florida Pit Bulls games,"
"The post-game concert series is a tremendous additional entertainment feature for Florida Pit Bulls games, ... It's something our fans can really look forward to. They'll see great basketball and a top notch live concert all in the same night, all for the price of one. You can't beat it."
"went up 10 decimals."
"I'm happy Pat Riley is giving him a chance, that he didn't give me, to live his legacy out and play one more year. I'm waiting for that phone call just to do that."
"Our schedule is competitive and our games will be fast paced and exciting, ... We play each of our division rivals twice at home which will give the fans some familiarity with our rivals and lead to a great first season. Plus, all of our games besides Sunday games will start at 7pm - which I believe is the perfect start time for families to come out and enjoy the entire ABA entertainment experience."
"I want you to know the Pit Bulls and I WILL return next season, and the experience will NOT be what it has been for you this season."
"He's still intense. He's still wanting to win. You could tell that when he's on the court and talking and being active, making sure everybody knows what they're doing out there. He's the same old Pat to me."
"If Pat wins one as a coach, with Shaq here, it'd be great. Both of their legacies would go to another level."
"The team was right there. The chemistry was there, everybody was playing with a lot of confidence, and everybody knew what their roles were."
"I've always thought if it's not broke, why fix it?"
