For stretches over the last two-plus seasons, Tim Hardaway Jr. has truly played like the prized possession from the Dallas Mavericks’ January 2019 trade with the New York Knicks. Though it’s been said time and again, it begs repeating just how impressive the sharpshooter has been since arriving in Dallas.
Of course, too understand that is to accept the cold stretches and the limitations to his game. But anyone who claims to have predicted this sort of play — and that MFFLs everywhere would be celebrating a $75-million THJ contract extension in our lord’s year 2021 — is also claiming they are Nostradamus.
