In a recent episode of “The OGs” podcast, Udonis Haslem and Mike Miller were joined by fellow former Miami Heat player Tim Hardaway Sr. to delve into anecdotes about Pat Riley’s unique character, critique the current Miami Heat’s tendency to pass up shots, and ponder the possibility of seeing Tim Hardway Jr. donning a Miami jersey soon.
Miller directed a question to Tim Hardaway Sr., seeking his assessment of the current Heat team. Hardaway didn’t mince words, offering a candid evaluation.
“They pass up too many shots. Terry Rozier, you got to let him go. He’s the only one who can really break somebody down and make it work.”
From the podcast discussion, it’s evident that Hardaway keeps a close eye on NBA action. For Miami Heat enthusiasts, his observation about the team’s pressing need for good health rings true, a challenge that has plagued them throughout the season, evident in their staggering count of 29 different starting lineups.
Another point of agreement with Hardaway lies in the observation that the Heat often exhibit a propensity to pass up scoring opportunities, occasionally resorting to a “your-turn-my-turn” style of play. The consensus is clear: Miami must seize favorable shots when they present themselves.
Amidst fan inquiries on the OGs Show, speculation arose regarding the potential future of Hardaway Jr., presently showcasing his skills with the Dallas Mavericks, possibly joining in to the Miami fold.
“I’ve been trying to get him in a Heat jersey. And he will not be wearing my number if he gets on the Heat team. Do you understand me? See how I walk now. It hurts when I walk, so my jersey is up.”
Hardaway Jr.’s sharpshooting prowess aligns well with Miami’s gameplay style, making his addition to the roster a compelling prospect. The narrative of a father and son both representing the same franchise adds an intriguing layer to the storyline, promising a fitting narrative for all parties involved.
