Tim Hardaway Sr. with the Heat
The original Tim Hardaway spent six seasons with the Heat, starting all 367 games he played there.
He averaged 17.3 points and 7.8 assists per game with Miami, a brilliantly effective player there.
Hardaway had also been a star for the Golden State Warriors, and now he's in the Hall of Fame.
Is Tim Hardaway Jr. good?
The younger Hardaway is 34 years old now, in the twilight of his career.
He's coming off a season averaging 13.5 points per game for the Nuggets.
Most importantly, he shot 40.7% from 3-point range.
That'll be his role in Miami -- space the floor for Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo.
His dad will likely enjoy seeing his son in that uniform, too.
