Miami Heat to retire Tim Hardaway's #10

Story

The Miami Heat will retire former guard Tim Hardaway’s No. 10 jersey in a ceremony Oct. 28, immediately prior to the season-opener against the New York Knicks.

It will be the second jersey retired in Heat history: Alonzo Mourning’s No. 33 went to the rafters last season.


I thought it was a little crass when he campaigned for it last year but along with Zo he was one of the main players on the first Heat squads to do anything of significance including the Conference Finals appearance in 1997. He was easily one of their most noteworthy players in their first decade of existence so I think it's appropriate.

It was always going to happen. The Heat probably just wanted the John Amaechi gay comments to go away. Agree that his whinging was not needed.
