BOSTON – Tim Hardaway Jr. has gone to places in his basketball career that Tim Hardaway Sr. never went to. And that makes Hardaway Sr. a proud papa.
“He played on the biggest stage in college and they lost to Louisville,” Hardaway Sr. told Mavs.com. “And he’s in the NBA Finals now.
“It’s somewhere I was trying to get to as a collegian and as a professional, and he’s doing it. It means a lot.”
Hardaway Jr. and the Michigan Wolverines lost to Louisville, 82-76, in the 2013 NCAA national championship game on college basketball’s biggest stage.
