8. Tim Hardaway (PG) — No. 14 pick in 1989 NBA Draft

Career stats (with the Warriors): 422 GP, 20.5 PPG, 3.8 RPG, 9.6 APG, 2.0 STL, 0.2 BLK, 3.3 TOV, 45.8 FG%, 35.3 3P%, 76.8 FT%

Up next on our countdown, it’s the “T” portion of Run TMC, Tim Hardaway.

The man known as the UTEP Two-Step, Hardaway had one of the most vicious crossovers in NBA history. Don’t believe me? Here’s proof:

Over his five-plus seasons with the Warriors, the athletic floor general made three All-Star teams, one All-NBA Second Team and one All-NBA Third Team. A torn ACL and subsequent ugliness with team management led to his eventual trade to the Miami Heat in 1996, but regardless, Hardaway was one of the best Golden State players ever.

To this day, he ranks No. 4 in threes made (602), No. 4 in steals (821) and No. 2 in assists (3,926) in the Bay Area franchise’s history.

Among his various career accolades, however, Hardaway still hasn’t received a Hall of Fame invite, which is surprising considering how many other (lesser) names have made it in over him. Nonetheless, odds are that it’s just a matter of time before he joins Richmond and the third member of Run TMC (who’s coming up on our list) in the revered resting place for NBA careers.
