Tim Hardaway’s 10 games with the Pacers

Tim Hardaway is a five-time All-Star and had an undeniable impact on the NBA throughout his 15 years in the league. Though he’s not in the Hall of Fame, it’s speculated that the reason for that is more to do with some of his off-court words than his on-court play.

Over his career, Hardaway averaged 17.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 8.2 assists per game shooting 43.1 percent from the field and 35.5 percent from beyond the arc.

Hardaway would start his career where he was most well-known — with the Golden State Warriors. Paired with Chris Mullin and Mitch Richmond he was one-third of the trio known as Run TMC which foreshadowed the fast-paced run-and-gun offense many teams run today.

Hardaway was traded partway through his career to the Miami Heat where he would carve out a consistent legacy in the early stages of the franchise’s existence paired with Alonzo Mourning.

His value plummeted quickly on the tail-end of his career. In 2001 Hardaway was traded to Dallas where he played 54 games and started two, and then he was traded to Denver where he played and started in 14 games.

Hardaway did not find a basketball home at the start of the following season, but signed with the Indiana Pacers partway through the 2003 season and appeared in just 10 games. His first game with the team would be his peak, but he also appeared in four of the team’s six postseason games that season.

Those games in Indiana would be his final games as an NBA player.
