Man this brings back so many good memories, i remember this like if it was yesterday, Hardaway was so damn good that I forget at times until I see vids like this that remind me...

Oh and btw I thought we had terrible bandwagon fans that all started cheering for the heat the summer of 2010?

Looks like that place is packed and ROCKING

I can't WAIT for october 30 !

And also I think those are the throwback Uni's the heat will be wearing this year

Timmy had skeels. I remember that game. The man was beautiful when he went bananas like that. So strange the idea that Heat fans are some new creature that stumbled out of the Big 3's shadow. We've had different, yet high quality phases in our brief, brilliant history. The Timmy/Zo era was incredible. Too bad Dr. Jack wasn't the audio for that clip. His shiny bald head and magnificent voice are narrator to my thoughts every time I see Heat clips from that era.

Love Tim Hardaway, he was the reason I became a Heat fan following him over from Golden State in that trade.

All those knicks series were painful but the best rivalry ever

I loved Hardaway, and he and mourning are two of my favorite players all time, but uttering the phrase Hardaway kills the knicks just doesn't sound right to me with how those playoff series went.

I was 12 at the time, and remember jumping up and down in my living room, that was such an awesome moment.

Of course the clip cut out the last part, where Timmy took 1 more that wound up an airball, missing horribly :lol:

I was at that game, back when I had season tickets. That playoff run was so much fun. That was the first time I felt like a Heat player made a MAJOR MAJOR wave in a game that counted on a National stage. I remember chanting "Go Home Knicks" "Go Home Knicks" as the buzzer sounded....

Boy was that fun...............

This is the loudest that I've heard our crowd cheers. Our current crowd is one of the worst if not the worse crowd when it comes to cheering.

The first time I saw Tim play was 1989 at the Pro-Am, which was right before his rookie season and right before my freshman year of high school. He was killin this dude named Tony McCoy for talkin ish before they played! The highlight of the night for me was when Tim stood at halfcourt waiting for dude to bring the ball up in his defensive stance. Tim strips dude clean and goes in for a nasty lean in dunk!!! The crowd went crazy!!! Tim had 24 pts at halftime and said he would calm down, 'but dude just needs to close his mouth!' He ended the game with 48!!! I was sold... He was my favorite player to rep the Chi before #3 came along. He was the major reason why I loved the Heat solely after the MJ era was ended early! But I liked the Heat way before then....just more so as a secondary team before 99.

Tickets prices bro... that's all I gotta say. btw, the crowds for game 7 of the Celtics series and game 5 of the Thunder series were pretty loud.

quickness, handles, basketball IQ, shot, strength, passing, fearlessness to take it to the basket Timmy was a beast. One of the best players in Heat history I never forgot how good he was thanks for the video.

Check out the defense in that video. This is what I want the Heat to get back to instead of the gimmicky over rotating D we play now that leaves our bigs out of rebounding and blocking position. This D was perfect and they only switched and helped when needed. This is when we were at our best defensively. Imaging Mourning having to guard the 3pt line? That wouldnt work.

Odd. The place is rocking.. But everyone tells us Heat fans just got there in July of 2010 lol.

On a serious note.. What of the greatest games as a fan I've ever seem. I hated the Knicks and coming back from down 1-3 was amazing. Yes, games 6 and 7 some key players were missing but doesn't take away from anything. To go into game 6 at MSG and win then have Timmy go nuts in game 7.. The image of Zo jumping around like crazy, will always stay with me.

That end of the 3rd is just like what happened game 5 of the Finals for us this year.


OT but can anyone find game 6 footage of when Zo hit that 3 to basically ice the game? Awful shot but thank god he made it lol! I'll never forget him basically cursing out the garden and flexing after!

Rio may have Timmy's confidence, but not his game. Ever.

Not even hope will get him to that level. He would have to completely reinvent his career and get talent he never had.
