For what Tim Hardaway said about gay people, it was pretty shocking even in 2007. It would understandably blackball him from the HOF. But he’s actually made real strides toward the LGBT community since even though he didn’t have to. So part of me thinks he is still being blackballed

However...

Another part of me also thinks he was overrated and wasn’t really that good of a player anyway. :confusedshrug:

Refresher of his original quote


"You know, I hate gay people, so I let it be known," Hardaway told Dan Le Batard on Miami radio in 2007. "I don't like gay people and I don't like to be around gay people. I am homophobic. I don't like it. It shouldn't be in the world or in the United States."

I get it, man, but you just don’t straight out say that shit :oldlol:

Good, we need to protect guys like AirTupac and ElementallyMorale from gay boy scrutiny its 2019 now

Its okay to be gay boys, ignore Hardaway

Hall of Fame means nothing.

It will perish.

It will ultimately be Allah who judges His creation.

Even if, who cares? Wasting away your live obeying the rules of a deity.

[305Baller]

its all the same monotheistic god entity. a bearded man in sandals that is a psychological father figure.

or an alien AI built to turn animals into conscious slaves for the upcoming galactic war

whatever. yay god.

[Xiao Yao You]

doesn't deserve the HOF regardless

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

KJs a better PG from his own era that hasnt made hall yet

[scuzzy]

athletes need to emulate the Richard Jefferson model and just embrace the gayness without ever coming out

[RoseCity07]

He reminds me of the type to beat his kids for thinking gay thoughts. His son always seems angry during games too. Dad was hard on him.

tim hardaway contributed as much as mitch richmond, if not more.

if they let mitch richmond in, then hardaway's bid isn't so far-fetched.

it is the anti-gay stuff keeping him out
