Tim Hardaway won’t be sitting by his phone in the next couple of days, waiting on the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame to let him know his stellar career will be rewarded with a trip to Springfield, Massachusetts.
That honor will likely belong to the late Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett, among others this go-round, as the class of 2020 will be announced Saturday afternoon.
Some may double-take when they realize Hardaway isn’t in, as one of the league’s most decorated and feared players during the ’90s, but he isn’t and doesn’t feel like his time will ever come.
