MIAMI — It took a while, but former Miami Heat point guard Tim Hardaway will finally get his Hall of Fame moment.
Hardaway will be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as member of the 2022 class, a source confirmed to the Miami Herald. The full 2022 Hall of Fame class is set to be announced on Saturday at the NCAA Men’s Final Four.
Hardaway, 55, had to wait longer than many expected to be voted in despite being named a finalist on past ballots, in part because of anti-gay comments he made on Dan Le Batard’s Miami radio show more than a decade ago. Hardaway has since become a gay rights activist and expressed remorse for his comments.
