Refreshing to see that the NBA has barred Hardaway from making any future league-related appearances.

2. He's allowed to. It's his right to hate whomever he wants.

And everyone else is allowed to call him an ass for it.

4. i agree. at least you know where he stands.

hes not smiling in your face and stabbing you in the back which is what we see more often.

and now anyone who is offended can go to another carwash instead of the 'tim hardaway presents' carwash and detailing. i dont think it will really be good for his business. we have a lot of gay people in miami with disposable income and nice cars and I bet some of them were his clientele.

5. yes, at least he's honest and tells you what he really thinks.

3. "Come out of the closet Tom."

6. Some people hate black people.

"Some poeple" as in skinheads, nazis and klansmen. Mr. Hardaway's incendiary bigotry aligns him with the very people who would rather see him dead or in chains.

7. Latent Homosexual?

Conventional psychological beliefs say that people who are really, really homophobic like ol' Tim seems to be are very likely to have latent homosexual tendencies themselves. He was a terrific point guard though!
