Tim Hardaway Jr. feature

Pat Riley is talking about how when he was coaching the Heat, he told a story to motivate the team going into the playoffs while Tim Sr was there.

He then told the "burn the boats" story that UM used last year as their theme. Ironic.

Found the video on youtube for anyone who wants to watch it. Bad quality because the person taped it with a seperate camera. But at least your able to watch it.

Tim Hardway, Jr. seems to be the quintessential player/recruit for Beilein and Michigan. He is a great athlete, but somewhat under-rated by the scouts. He is talented and has a great pedigree with both his high school record/results and his father being an NBA player. He is willing to come to Michigan and contribute & learn!!! My compliments to the Hardway family for raising such a "straight-laced" individual with wonderful upside. My compliments to the coaching staff for continually pursuing and assisting Mr. Hardaway towards a decision that is right for him (which possibly could be away from M). And my compliments to Tim Hardaway, Jr. for being a humble, hardworking, courteous young man. In my clouded eyes, this could be a Lavell Blanchard type of player with much better coaching available to him and much better upside potential.

hope he has half the skills his daddy had. Sr. was awesome in his prime. I remember him being almost unstoppable when he wanted to get to the rack!!
