As free agent guard Tim Hardaway Jr. heads to the Miami Heat, he brings 3-point shooting prowess to a revamped team built around Giannis Antetokounmpo.
One thing he won’t have is the No. 10, a jersey number he has worn in college and for portions of his NBA career.
The reason: His father, Tim Hardaway Sr., said he isn’t letting his retired number come back into circulation for the Heat.
“My legacy is my legacy, and he’s doing it his way. Even though he likes to wear 10, he loves to wear 10, but that is not coming down from the rafters,” Tim Hardaway Sr. told WQAM radio in Miami on Wednesday.
