Tim Hardaway Sr. has simple reason for refusing to let son use retired Heat number
Tim Hardaway Jr. is following in his dad’s footsteps on the Heat — but he won’t be wearing his father’s old number. The younger Hardaway agreed to a one-year, $6.5 million deal to join the franchise where his father starred for six seasons from 1996-2001. And while Hardaway Jr. will look to emulate his dad’s sharpshooting in South Beach, the Hall of Famer wants to maintain his “legacy” and keep his No. 10 uniform retired. Hardaway Jr., seen guarding the Knicks’ OG Anunoby, wore No. 10 last year for the Nuggets Jason Skenes/ NY Post “My legacy is my legacy. Even though he likes to wear No. 10, that is not coming down from the rafters,” Hardaway Sr. told WQAM radio in Miami. “That is tough to do. And when it’s up there, you want [it] to stay up there, and you don’t want nobody to touch it. “
