Absolutely hilarious! Atleast he's honest I guess...
Ohh and by the way, he has apologized, so I guess everything's O.K. now.
From AP story:
Former Miami Heat guard Tim Hardaway said on a radio show Wednesday afternoon that he would not want a gay player on his team.
"You know, I hate gay people, so I let it be known," Hardaway said. "I don't like gay people and I don't like to be around gay people. I am homophobic. I don't like it. It shouldn't be in the world or in the United States."
Hardaway was a guest of Miami Herald columnist Dan Le Betard on the Miami radio show Sports Talk 790 and was asked how he would deal with a gay teammate. When asked if he would accept an active player's coming out, such as that of retired NBA center John Amaechi, Hardaway replied: "First of all, I wouldn't want him on my team.
"And second of all, if he was on my team, I would, you know, really distance myself from him because, uh, I don't think that's right. And you know I don't think he should be in the locker room while we're in the locker room. I wouldn't even be a part of that."
Hardaway later apologized for the remarks during a telephone interview with Fox affiliate WSVN in Miami.
"Yes, I regret it. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said I hate gay people or anything like that," he said. "That was my mistake."
Hardaway, who was in Las Vegas Tuesday at a pre-All Star Game NBA Cares outreach event, was both a coach and player for the ABA's Florida Pit Bulls in 2006.
Hardaway played for five NBA teams from 1990-2003 and was a five-time All-Star. He finished with averages of 17.7 points and 8.2 assists.

So now he doesn't hate gay people or is he just apologizing for being ballsy and saying he hates gay people out loud for all the world to hear?
Because it's okay to hate gay people. It's just not okay to say that you hate gay people.
Saying that you hate anybody is so gay. Especially gay people."I'm here to see Pearl Jam."- Bono

I'm assuming he apologized for saying he hates gay people.

Tim Hardaway might be gay, because the haters are usually the ones trying to hide something they are ashamed of..0

No, that's what gay people say to someone who accuses them of being gay, to cover the fact that they're gay."Sarcasm: intellect on the offensive"

or maybe he's worried if a gay guy was on his team that he might like it and get caught taking the bait.ThumbingMyWay32 wrote:No, that's what gay people say to someone who accuses them of being gay, to cover the fact that they're gay.0 -
My personal theory is that Tim Hardaway just wants something hard coming his way. This is just a cover, the first step on a long road to becoming a flaming homo.0

I'm guessing he is full of self-loathing because he has funny feelings in the showers with the guys."I'll use the magic word - let's just shut the fuck up, please." EV, 04/13/080 -
Andybody who called his special move the "UTEP two-step" sounds gay to me.0

What an idiot.
And I've never understood the whole fear of a gay man looking at you. For a straight man, it's no different than any woman that you aren't attracted to admiring you. Perhaps the people who are uncomfortable about that are the ones that aren't real sure of their own sexual identity.The only people we should try to get even with...
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.0 -
I wonder how many times Hardaway had to ask somebody else to pick up his soap when he dropped it in the shower.
Or how many times he wondered why the new power forward was staring at his schlong for more than the one second rule in the dressing room.
I find the people who are not fully into themselves seem to be the people who worry about others the most. ie: being gayYou've changed your place in this world!0 -
What an idiot!

my world is shattered to say the least
I have, for a number of years, looked to Tim Hardaway for leadership in all aspects of life.hate was just a legend0 -
he is a thug as most NBA players tend to be and irelevant so he needs all the publicity he can get sad asshole.........jesus greets me looks just like me ....0

I heard about this this morning and I thought "at least he's being honest". I don't agree with him but just because he's famous doesn't mean he has to be tolerant of or like homosexuality. It does make it hard for him to say anything about racism though.0
