Wow, watching these highlights is just wow. I never got
to see this guy play but man could he ball. These highlights are nasty.
TimBug was a great, great player. In fact, and if IIRC, during his first 3/4 years in the league noone had ever have a better ppg/apg ratio than Oscar Robertson himself.
Off course it helped playing for Don "forget about defense!" Nelson.
Run TMC Warriors were always one of my favourite teams to watch. Once upon a year i get the tape of their debacle of the Spurs in the playoffs on my old VHS player and marvel...
Btw, stop it with the crossover thingy. Yeah, TimBug mastered it. But he was taking lessons from Isiah all the way...
Tim Hardaway will always be credited for making the crossover a popular hardcourt move, but Allen Iverson will always be remembered as the inovator of it..
I was serious... as the other poster said (which I should've mentioined too), Tim Hardaway basically did the same crossover over and over again, but AI did more than that, some of his repertoire include:
-backstep crossovers (the one on Lue in the finals)
-behind the back crossovers (the one on Nash in All-star game)
-spin move crossovers (forgot the name of the person he did that on)

uhmm. NO. Not only is that horribly untrue, but how can someone innovate something that already became popular before he was in the NBA? If you said Timmy was the innovator and AI made it popular, at least it makes some chronological sense. But it's still wrong. Timmy had the best crossover ever. Run TMC baby.
Yep. He was a bold and streaky shooter. I remember him going 0-17 from the floor in one game. Still, he was a championship-level point guard. If only they the Warriors had been able to put their great perimeter trio on the floor with good big men.
I thought it was 0-13?

If you were to offer me 44 million dollars right now, I would offer to give you a ring made out of 3 of my fingers, part of my penis, and any other body part you would like. JO wants to win? Great. If I'd make a penis ring for 44 million dollars, JO would stay in Indy and lose for it as well.
Quote of the Week
*Prolific Scorers Favorite Players*
Dwight Howard - Mike Miller - Jason Williams - Udonnis Haslem - Tracy McGrady - Carmelo Anthony - Darrell Armstrong - Carlos Boozer - Chauncey Billups - Josh Howard - Sam Cassell - Andre Iguodala - Antawn Jamison - Al Jefferson - Alonzo Mourning
Sorry to bump an old thread, but right now I feel like a a school girl who just saw Justin Timberlake. I just talked to Tim Hardaway and I'm all excited because he was my favorite all-time players behind Scottie Pippen. He was on the cell phone, so I didn't get to hold a conversation with him, but I did say, "Hey, your Tim Hardaway!" and responds with a smile and extends his hand.
Living here in Norfolk, VA I occasionally get to see the local athletes like Iverson, Joe Smith and Mourning when they are here, which is great, but when you get to see a player you grew up patterning your game after its exciting.

I really liked Tim Hardaway when I was a kid, since he was on the local team. He was among the most fun players to watch and had a great smile.

Yes, that's the one knock on Hardaway. He had excellent penetration and passing skills, was an aggressive if undersized defender, and his famous crossover was a killer move . . . but, he did have a tendency to jack up too many bad shots. When on, he was as good as anyone in the league, when not, he could shoot you out of a game. That's what kept him a hair behind competitors such as Mark Price and Kevin Johnson. Still, that's fast company to move in . . . today he would be one of the top 5 PG's in the league, behind Nash, Billups, and Kidd but depending on your team makeup, competitive with Arenas, Paul, Baron Davis, etc.
