HUGE SET BACK: DALLAS best player has been suspended for two matches reason been that…..

Mavericks: Tim Hardaway Sr. claims that in his peak, he would defeat Tim Hardaway Jr.

Tim Hardaway Jr. and the Dallas Mavericks have had a solid performance in the first half-plus of the 2023-24 NBA season, currently holding a respectable record of 32-23, placing them seventh in the competitive Western Conference playoff standings as the All-Star weekend approaches in Indiana. Hardaway has positioned himself as a viable candidate for the Sixth Man of the Year award on a Mavericks team that excels in scoring but occasionally faces challenges defensively.

As the son of former NBA guard Tim Hardaway Sr., Hardaway Jr. has made a mark with his performance for the Mavericks. In a recent appearance on FanDuel TV’s Run It Back show, Hardaway Sr. was directly questioned by former Sixth Man of the Year NBA guard Lou Williams about who would prevail in a one-on-one matchup between him and his son.

Expressing confidence, Hardaway Sr. asserted, “Oh, I’m killing. I’m going to make him move those feet, I’m going to make him take those ankles up… come on, Lou,” according to ClutchPoints on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Known for his lethal crossovers, the elder Hardaway’s signature moves are evident in his son’s game for the Mavericks. Tim Hardaway Jr. has also stepped into the starting lineup this season due to various injuries, including those affecting stars Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.

With injuries impacting the team, the Mavericks have navigated challenges, and the hope is that the All-Star break will provide an opportunity for the team to fully recover and heal up.
