- Tim Hardaway Jr. (The Dallas Mavericks ) tells a touching story about his dad, Tim Hardaway Sr., apologizing for trying to coach him too hard.

I think its good his father apologized sometimes as a father you want to push your kids to be the best without realizing you can overwork them mentally and physically
And, because of all the tough love Jr. is where he is at the moment. But key factor is not to over-push it and keep it fun.
It’s such a real conversation. A father knows how brutal and vicious and unforgiving the real world is and you can push your kid too hard but if you go to easy on him you know the real world can eat him alive. I’d rather get tough love coming up so when the real world hit you it can be better handled. It’s kids who have thrived off of tough love and some who have dived into drugs and rebellion. There are no guarantees in life unfortunately but I embrace that.
Same with parents with tennis. Serena Williams father was really tough on her. So was agassi's old man
I’m doing this to my son now. He’s really young. I think I’m putting too much pressure on him. I just don’t know any better because my parents did it to me. And now I have a lot of mental issues bc of it that I don’t want my son to have.
@@ceeb107 facts, well said
This dude's always been an underrated role player. He can be a valuable 6th man for a contender. Dude's a bucket.
He would be a sixth man of the year candidate if he was coming off the bench the whole season
He really is a bucket idc what anyone says
He would start for the Lakers for instance
bucket got jumped over
he playe so big today hoooowiiiii im loving the mavs
As a dad with a son, that was very touching, made me wonder what I might need to apologise for, and do it.
I had to just tha Other day to my 7 yr old son!
@@coldbilly7916 Lovely, I think younglings should be treated like adults in some situations. We training them for adulthood anyways. We just baby them so much they end up messed up and not ready for life til like 35.
That’s heavy man. I think I might need to do the same. No kids but a lil brother
@@BigJyYari in all honesty nobody is ready for life, especially nowadays. Good luck finding a career you think you enjoy but then going and hating it every day and then wondering why you work to keep yourself alive when you never asked to be alive
@@joeyjackson5075 tf u got going on bro, negative asl🤣
Its so easy to like Tim Hardaway Jr. He shows flashes of greatness sometimes and I can see how his pops would try to make him the best he could be. It's a really tough thing for a parent to let go, especially when you have that expertise. Props to dad too!
Yeah, he is one of my favorite players because of his personality and his game
These millennials too soft sometimes too though! Finding balance is hard I realize as well, but good comment.
Hardaway's a true baller. The Maves would be his team if Luka didn't come along. He going to need 25 to 30 to help Luka to beat the Clippers.
Tim Hardaway should be in the Basketball Hall of Fame.
We all know why he is not !
Too bad he hates gay people
@@hippobreath3703 everyone is allowed to have their own perspective on things
@@hippobreath3703 “Too bad he hates gay people” has nothing to do with his ability to play the game of basketball at the highest level which is the only thing that should matter.
Nah
Tim Hardaway Jr is his own man. He is a great player going into his own legacy and a key player for the Mavs.
Who was led there by his father
Bro he is his father dummy. When u have a son there u reincarnated.
@@leanmeanmenace1744 damn son sorry to break it to but no they are not. Have you seen dwaynes kids
@@vinnydeville4675 bruh dwane wade failed as a father. Hes an anomaly.
@@leanmeanmenace1744 😭😭
look at tim hardaway jr man, so insparational
So inspirational man , look at thj
and now dude's a freak of a shot maker, those words prolly unleashed smtg in him
Gotta be tough to be the son of an NBA player, and a great one at that. Hardaway Sr. was too nice on the court. This dude can hoop and I’m glad he’s successful.
With a mean crossover
A real man and a good father should be able to put pride and ego aside to do whats right. Especially if its family or close friends.
Hard when you see the Superman your son can be💯 It’s hard when your vision for your son and his vision for himself aren’t the same
@@michaelbonhomme1560 of course but there's somethings you can't force. Allow a child to make their own decisions/mistakes. That experience will only guide them towards finding constructively postive wisdom from their parents especially if they have been supportive and consistent in their advising towards the kid.
*As a kid, Tim Hardaway SR was my favorite player, especially when he was on Golden State with Chris Webber*
This Story hits Home for my fam, My belated Husband was not a NBA player he played overseas and was a freak of nature athlete and loved Basketball. Our Son at the time was 13 on his AAU team needed a coach since there were drama with the original Coach, So my Husband jumped in so the team could finish off the season. My Husband was 34 and had a major stroke on the basketball court in the 3rd overtime of our son game. I hated Basketball for very long time but our 14 yr daughter today is the one who brought me back to gym so I can support her. I still have to go to that same gym time to time but I do sit on that side where my best friend life ended. R.I.P forever until we see each other again Ralph Martin JR. Aka Big Roach🙏🏽🌹
Sons intrinsically want to make their Dads proud. Dads want to be proud of their sons . Sons will work hard in doing so. Dads just have to acknowledge their sons' efforts and all will be well
he sounds so much like his dad...at some point i wasn't sure whether he's just trying to imitate tim senior, but it's just him i think
Well of course he's gonna pick up some tendencies from senior i don't really know why he'd try to imitate him
He doesn't have to imitate, that's his father they share genes, DNA, ect.
@@gutentag2235 well, it's the part where he explains what (and how) his dad had told him and i wasn't sure
I grew up playing with these guys Big Tim & JR- they have always seemed to not look alike but sound and act soooo similar it’s crazy. Love you guys!! 🔥💯
Are you crazy? Have you heard of genetics?
Hardaway is such a nice guy! I mean like legendary clean cut All American good dude. I’m sure Sr. is just as proud of him as a man as he is as a player. This is the kind of guy your Mom wished you’d spent more time with in high school.
That's dope- we said things under our breath that we didn't mean or meant to say. It was in the moment
That was beautiful! I’m trying to help my son become a better goalkeeper... Thank you for sharing your moments... thank you for coaching me to be a better dad!
I'm so glad the Dallas mavericks have a star ⭐️ like THJ he's a great piece around Luka and KP !!!
Not an easy thing to balance for sure. When to push for excellent and when to pull'em in for a hug.
Beautiful story
You'd be surprised what a father saying good job to a son would do for the life of his son.
So true
JJ is so chill, I hope whenever he does retire he continues the podcast or goes to tv. I’m sure he has a lot more stories about Duke and just the NBA that people wanna hear
That's wonderful bro.... keep up the commitment to FATHERHOOD!! Great job listening Hardaway Sr. .... your dad was a absolute MONSTER ON THE COURT.....
As a dad with two boys, I felt this whole heartedly. Glad he apologized.
Played against him a lot in highschool, you could see this exact story show in his game and emotions. Proud of him
As a dad I can appreciate these guys opinion on this. The grey area between coaching and dad is easy to blurr. Just nice to know I not the only one who's been there with there son. As much as I want my son to be a outstanding player, I want him too know I love and care about him and or relationship a 1000% more! 💯💯💯
I hope I had a dad like that. Will push, encourage, and cheer for you to reach your dreams no matter what.
Right he coached tf outta him while he was young to develop those skills then guided him into adulthood as he became a man great parent
Awww. What a wholesome conversation 🥺🥺🥺
Beautiful father son story
My son has talent and I had calm myself down. I just encourage him . I stopped critiquing everything. He had me running routes in the park. Yo, my whole body was hurt for next two days. He is having fun more confident than ever right now.
I’m keep it all the way hunnit I love tough dads. It’s possible to be too tough but having a tough dad build a certain type of toughness in you that you can’t get nowhere else and it prepares you for life. Not only that but you realize how much of a bullsh-er you are when you get older, not to mention that toughness hones in on your skills and sharpens your craft and it also makes you hold yourself accountable and teaches you how to self-correct. Most people in life don’t know how to self-correct.
His grandfather was a playground legend, his father was a great NBA player... To be where he is I'm impressed... He's a solid NBA player who does his job well. 💯💯💯
Wish I had a dad that guided and pushed me
I want my parents to push me as well, just not TOO much.
@@Arav087 let them push you, y’all will make up once your an adult lol
That's an awesome story. This actually hit me hard because I've experienced the other end of it. I tried to reconcile with him but it became worse. Until now, we're not on good terms. I hope the dads out there will be more of a parent rather than a dictator and please have a good relationship with your kids. Enjoy having a great time with your family because life can be hard at times but it could be better if everyone is helping each other out even in their own little way. Appreciate them while they are alive and well.
If only parents gave a damn
Big props to his dad. Me and my dad have had a strange relationships because of some things he did that I found unforgivable but I felt like I treated him far too harshly for it. I ended up slowly building back our relationship and eventually apologizing to his face, man was it hard to let go of my entire ego and just say the truth about what I was doing and how it was wrong. It felt great after though, felt like I just let go of 100lbs that I've been lugging around for years.
We need Dad's 💪💯
I feel this.. my dad, probably like many sports dads, was very hard for me to the point where I played baseball not to win the game, but avoid my dad yelling at me. It was hard to tell him that he wasn't helping and baseball was no longer fun for me. I just wished I had the courage like these two to tell my dad the same thing. One of the biggest regrets I have as a young adult trying to get his BA.
good dad for realizing his mistakes and fixing them
It’s hard to separate the natural fire that an athlete has in them. You teach them, and it’s hard if you feel like they’re not listening or they’re not picking it up. You feel like it should be easy for them. I still struggle to build, break, build with my son sometimes....it’s hard.
What a great family
This is such good perspective. Those on the outside tend to always see the pros of having an all star father-figure, but never the downside
Love this. Thanks JJ
That "thanks dad, I appreciate ya" at the end made my eyes water lol
Just talking about AAU 11U and the parent’s athletic background speaks volumes about what separates Average, Good, Great, and Superstar Players💯
Great story reminds me of my pops and I
Real talk...good dudes
Love this. 🙌🏼🙌🏼
The Hardaways are literally two of my top guards of all time …
People don’t realize how much work it takes from parents to get kids to this level. If you don’t have a good support system you’re not making it. My son is getting a lot better at basketball and football right now and its because we’re in the yard almost every day drilling things that went wrong in the game. It’s exhausting for me. Thinking about parents doing this for 18 years is crazy to me. Hats off to lavar ball.
Great story from you guys. Hope Tim catches this story. I was with my uncle visiting from florida i ran into Tim at UM basketball facilty back when he just signed for Atlanta. Signed my michigan hat even though my dumbass had a syracuse hoodie on, he made a joke about it and was cool af. I then took that hat and went to the lions training camp met nate burleson while he was with nfl network he signed the hat. Met ziggy ansah and darius slay after practice they signed the hat as well. That legendary Michigan hat started with you Tim so thanks again for that memory. 👌
I'd bet my life Tim Jr is fine with how his dad pushed him. Kids destined for greatness have a way of being forged like steel. Finding that balance is key. Parent 1st. Coach 2nd.
His pops was my favorite player and he’s my second favorite player of all time next to Magic!!
Keep it going 🖤
I wish Tim was my dad the real warrior 100 ave and D st east Oakland 💯
Need this man in miami
Love that game with him and waiters 🔥
This guy had a jumper with potential man I don’t think he ever reached a comfort zone within his game
You must didn’t watch the last game😂
THJ is becoming an amazing player
Who?????
It will all pay off in the offseason when he signs that max deal well done young bull keep up the good work
I remember those summer grinds back from 2008-2012, I was getting up minimum 500 shots a day since there was courts in the apartments I lived in at the time, I'm still a walking bucket and havent even played in like a year
Gotta be tough to have a dad that's an all time great. Not enough to make it to the highest level of basketball and still not measure up. Junior is a helluva player by his own right...
Good interview JJ.
Sounds like thj came from a really loving family. It really takes a village
As a dad that had scholarship opportunities in 3 different sports, pro opportunities in 2 and competed for my country in yet another...it is so damn hard to watch my 6’5” son who is more athletic than I ever was just not put in the work...he would rather play video games and smoke weed but gets pissed cause old broken dad can still beat him in 1 v 1 🏀
I feel ya. You would be forgiven for snatching the video controls out of his hands and the dube from his mouth and "nudge" him outdoors for some fresh air and sunshine. Your kids will come around later to be VERY appreciative of carefully targeted moments of "tough love" (to be distinguished from abuse). The unpopular parental intervention is very often the most loving one. Gotta have the long game in mind.
You prolly coach him too hard so he doesn't even want to play sports anymore. Maybe you should put yourself in his shoes and smoke weed and play video games with him then you guys can find an even balance of the 3
@@JvvdCvvy what kind of advice is this 🤣
@@JvvdCvvy I’ve never pushed him, only offered to train him if he wants it.
Mr Anonymous1113 advice from someone without a child. Lol at smoke with your son to relate 🤦♂️
R.i.p ms Mckinney
I went to Palmetto middle and high with Tim
THJ NY misses U!!!!
You think so?...I dont think we do. But we appreciated his ability and time. Just another casulty of the triangle era.
I wouldn’t say miss he always played better on other teams
Nah he’s good where’s he’s at. He’s better off with Dallas
Handsome lad
i love seeing my favorite teams players on my favorite podcast #MFFL
All parents like that
Takes a man to apologise. My father never could
and the results are evident... a refined player
The hard coaching paid off though because now he's playing his best basketball this season
This is what having a father can do for you.
Tim Jr has a MUCH nicer shot than his Dad did but Dad's crossover dropped defenders. Great story and how it made them closer.
Yeah man his crossover was ridiculous
He been a bucket fr he reminds me of Jordan Clarkson (as in being underrated)
I guess JJ is planning to be a future sports analyst after his basketball career on NBA
Heat
I’m a Laker but Tim Hardaway Sr. has always been my 3rd favorite player behind only Kobe and Dominique.
Charlottesville Virginia!
Bruh be grateful......... He pushed you and believe in you..... He didn't have to but
he sound just like his dad
Man... and I thought it was just my dad lol. Now I know it’s just a dad “thing” as they’re just trying to bring the best out of you. I think lol
JJ why are yo not playing???
Tim loved the way you are playing
He’s coming back 2nd round if they make it
I remember when he first joined the mavs and I thought he was just in the league because of his name. I was glad I was wrong and it was definitely because of his game. #mav4lyfe
JJ Reddick representing Cave Spring.
It's a damn shame his father is not in the Basketball Hall Of Fame yet.
He’s been nice..Him and Trey Burke was a hell of a backcourt at Michigan
I was expecting new contents regarding all the playoff games on the 1st day, and another reaction for the games on the 2nd day. And today is the 3rd day already. Also, what is your opinion regarding Clippers who kight have intentionally gave up their last two games to evade playing against the Lakers?
Honestly if I had a son and I’m rich I’d be hard on em to an extent because it builds character also heart a lot of these suburb players don’t have that n it hinders them when they get to that big level where everybody is as good but not to the point he hates being around me
I went through the exact same thing. Mine was physical abuse as well and I didn't make it to the NBA. I probably would've at least went to college tho.
THJ is lit right now.
When your dad wants you to be a better killer than he was on the court… Take notes gentlemen. I just wish Junior adopted Seniors crossover😢
lets go! beat the clippers!
Tim is gonna go to another team next season. He deserves to be paid!!!
most of 90's player always build that way they're so competitive
That made him into an nba player tho
his dad helped turn him into a great player
Dads are funny

Soft look where hard work got him
Black children don't cuss at or around our parents. Big no no
damn I must be black
@@frankievincent248 ✊🏿
Children should never cuss around their parents, no matter what the race is. Heck, no matter how old you are, you should never cursed in front of your parents (if you were brought up well.)
@@adingdingdiiing6740 but I meant Black children tho
@@frankwil21 haha, yeah I got you. I've seen a whole lot of videos of spoiled kids playing videogames cursing their parents. Ridiculous.
They gave Porzingis his role he is easily the 2nd best scorer on that team. They would be much better if he was used as the 2nd option to luka 🎤🎯💯
