Tim Hardaway (38pts/7asts/5stls/6threes) vs. Knicks (Game 7, 1997) 

I'm sitting here cheering like this is live lol. Damn Tim Hardaway was a beast.

it's sad people don't know how good Tim was, he would kill in LA Summer league avg 55 points, he will be in hall of fame, also Kevin Johnson too

The kids will never know how special Timmy Hardaway was. Man had the meanest crossover.

tim was a true beast the scary thing was tim was past his prime don't get me wrong he was still one of the best pg's and a top 15-20 player in the league but he clearly was as good after his acl tear. pre injury tim hardaway was all-time great he was 22-10 a night

Back to back, step-back 3 pts. That is basketball @ it's finest. Absolutely amazing.

When Heat fans were real.

Bro those jerseys are fire🔥🔥🔥

Not everyone will agree with this, understandably, but I personally would really like to see this HEAT team as a throwback in 2k.

This dude being able to stop and go in another direction at blazing speed was unreal. Unfortunately that led to a lot of injuries also. One of the most athletic point guards to play. That speed was necessary in that era of basketball for guys like him and AI to compete at a small size.

I've watch this video 6 times this week. Gives me chills, my favorite PG of all time.

This is why I like the way they played back in the day because the games were slower pace and guys like this would take over a game and still get players involved at the same time. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.

steph curry is the only player that has a remote chance of pulling this off. what makes what tim did even more amazing is that he id this aganist one of the best defense in the league and pretty much every shot he took was contested. Amazing

I remember watching tim play I even went to his jersey retirement in 2009

Tim Hardaway in today's world with todays medicine my god!

Tim is so awesome he is one of the point gods!

God that Heat team had some 3-pointer skills! Hardaway, Lenard, Majerle, Mashburn...And Mourning at the center! That Heat team was way more a TEAM that the current one build around those three superstars. Needless to say Tim Hardaway is probably my all time favourite PG and all time favourite player right AFTER Air Jordan.

This is classic Tim Hardaway, this guy was so tough. LamarMatic, i kinda disagree with your comment: "I reckon that nobody in today's NBA has the balls to attempt the sequence that starts at 4:30. '07 Kobe could be the last guy who could take and make those shots. Some of the threes he made for that 18-point third quarter are just unbelievable." Its just that i never saw Kobe doing something like that in the playoffs, on a game 7, againts the type of tough and rough defense this Knicks team played, let alone with the bad blood between this 2 squads. Againts non defensive teams, or in the regular season?, well yes, i have seen Kobe do it in those situations. But what Timmy did here with the stakes so high...thats just insane. Keep the awesome uploads coming Lamar, thanks!

Caught a brief glimpse of Buck Williams. Such a valuable member of the Knicks frontcourt, even in his 16th season. And yet, he has got to be one of the greatest power forwards of all time (if not THE greatest) to never make it to Springfield.

3:49 lol @ the 2 fans behind Alonzo Mourning!! 😃😃

4:59 one of his signature moves he use on the 3 point shot as well as the 2 point jump shots. Tim Bug was so underrated!!

Man Tim Hardaway was the real deal! 🔥

he hits big shots , him and van exel ....

An underrated player and the only Miami Heat team that I like.

One of my all time favourites...Probably my favourite point guard from the 90s! NBA 2K16 brought me here today! I finally managed to get '91 Tim Hardaway into myteam today with only 12k! Now my back court is perfect!

One of the best crossover everrrrrr.... and that was his best game, only compared to his game against the lakers 1991's playoff (Run T-M-C)... Timmy was in Venezuela (I think) in 2004 giving a clinic with someone else. I hope to see him here again.

My all-time favorite player; modelled my game after his!

Everybody forgets how good hardaway and mourning were

Damn if only Tim knees could have held up

Tim was on FIRE this game

Classic Heat film I love it

I enjoyed watching this game.

Zo had 3pt range?! 🤤

Great vid, I absolutely love your stuff. I agree, Steph is such a pure shooter & he got the talent to pull off Hardaway did. Btw have you made a vid of Baron Davis (golden state) vs the #1 seeded Mavericks (I believe it was 2007)? That was one of the most electrifying performances I've ever seen. He could not miss, not even a fade a way three going out of bounds...

I watched this game live and then went outside and played basketball.

Crossover!!!! I studied this man for hours back in the day.

The heat with Hardaway and Mourning were something special

Hardaway was a beast #underrated

i dont think ive ever heard a miami crowd that loud

Irving's game looks so similar in many aspects. Crafty and solid all around at position

I miss the NBC theme music @ 5:13 someone needs to bring that back

Tim Hardaway dribble style shoot , one of the coelst guys

He was a better point guard than Nash.

Yea, when Timmy was on, had that bop in his step and his elbows clicking, he was a problem for real...

Making nba history ! Let’s go HEAT! 🇺🇸 ❤️ 🇨🇺 🦩 🏀 🔥 🏆 305

Threeeeeeeeee! Damn heat PA announcer was always awesome.

The Knicks chose to sign Chris Childs over Tim Hardaway!!!! LMAO!!!!

Tim used Childs like a wet tissue. Damn

Peak of the Heat teams of the 90’s. Easily Timmy’s best game as a Heat player. The fans were super hyped to kick the Knicks out of the playoffs. Great childhood memories.

hell yeah!!!

Every basket sounds so explosive lol they got a loud ass mic by the rim?

This'a way that'a way everyway HARDAWAY

"Thanks NBA for suspending Ewing and LJ for Game 6 so I can have a big Game 7" -Tim Hardaway

Tim hardaway the boss

Straight squad

As a Bulls fan that was an amazing performance by Hardaway but we taught them a lesson in the Conference Finals and the Bulls defense shut down Mourning, Hardaway, and Mashburn.

What some ppl are overlooking about this series is, this is series where they had the brawl after PJ Brown flipped Charlie Ward. Several Knicks players were suspended for the last couple games which probably gave Miami an advantage. Not to take away from Hardaway's performance, but I think those suspensions put them in a good position to advance in this series..

He da 1 established Heat culture along w Zo!! Cuz even though it's MIA nobody wanted ta come there as a star no matter da beaches

Anyone know who the little boy is at 5:07. I don't think the age lines up for Tim Hardaway jr, but it got me wondering who it is. Zo's affection seems to indicate he's more than just a ball boy. A lot of times the ball boys for teams are NBA player's or coach's sons.

I hope I'm not the only who doesn't miss where the entire crowd doesn't look like a sea of the same color

Hardaway terrorized the Knicks in this game although they were the better team that year and would have eliminated Miami in 6 had it not been for the suspensions. This was really Hardaway's last year as an elite PG before injuries started to take their toll and he was never fully healthy in their next 3 playoff meetings in 1998-2000. Having sat through this game, I loved seeing Hardaway as a shell of his former self in those years.

2012 playoffs?

I’m here from 2k mobile this dude here is Raw

Of all you mentioned, only Lebrons were in the playoffs, LamarMatic made that comment taking into account the magnitude of the moment when the shots happened.

3:53 Well, I guess that's one way to celebrate...

This was a lebron game for Tim

At 3:52. assistant coach is looking at Alonzo Morning like....WTF....! LOL

Wow todays may 18 also

This Heat team!!!!! They were good enough to get to the Finals but the east was to dam strong, Bulls era!!!

love me some Timmy, but that that a brutal frontline of Ewing, Oakley and Buck Williams... Throw in Zo and there isn't a free weight in sight that would be safe!

4:06-4:36-5:00: Pulled a Steph Before Steph👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

I could see how Hardaway is one of Kyrie's favorite players

and how many rings have the knicks won since?....

In Chris Smooves voice... Alanzo Mourning for three?! Is this a fake video!?

He wasn’t in NBA Live 98 cover for no reason

the original heat team tim zo mash, and thunder dan ya lenord

Sadly these Zo/Haradaway lead Heat teams wouldn't beat the Knicks again. : / those teams could've done something had it not been for injuries.

The Miami heat security guard that looks like Stone Cold Steve Austin was there back then.. WOW 7:29

Love some Zo and Timmy highlights.

Am huge fan of Tim but those suspensions man. Knicks led 3-1. Heat won it still. Wonder where were Tim against an older Knicks like in 99 and 2000 when they had the obligation to win and clearly had better shot against Spurs in 99.

Voshon Leonard 😮

Led*

wasn't this riley's first heat year?

Just add Wade to that roster

Put that man in tha HOF

Also Jamal Mashburn never wanted to be the 3rd option he wanted to be the "guy" but he had no chance with Zo and Tim on the team.

Tim shoulda got an n 1 errtime da way he b yellin

Knuckle ball 3

Hardaway stays healthy no way Knicks beat them 3 years straight. Bad luck

Damn, watching this im now realizing Lowry is Hardaway reincarnated

Looking again. I know for sure its not Tim jr, it looks nothing like him, and he would have to be 5 years old. That kid looks at least 10 or so.

theres no plumbers here...i think its in 50s and 60s

Knicks were screwed over...... Well whatever... Its the past

only durant proved that he could do it at this level of competition...not harden. Harden can do it in the regular season but in a game 7 in playoffs? taking over like that? I don't think so...he disappeared in the nba finals...

Better than nick van exel.

Chris Childs is a flat out scrub and Tim Hardaway destroyed his confidence along with all the 3's he buried each one for Childs because he talked so much trash throughout the whole series and in the GM 7 he destroyed him along with the Knicks backcourt.

John Stockton my ass. Tim Hardway is way better than John Stockton. John Stockton never took over a game like this

I think he meant take over a game like that IN PLAYOFFS,particularly in a decisive playoffs game...an elimination game...not to many guys can do it..it's true. Now the comparisons with today's nba are unfair because,first of all you are never gonna see today a playoffs series as physical and defensive as this one was(miami-NYC 1997), it was tough and very intense...

And now his son, Tim Hardaway JR just got drafted by the Knicks!

The shooters were way better then . If you watch all these so called 3pt shooters now in days a lot of horrible shots air balls straight front of the rim short bricks. Timmy was shooting bullseyes.

i think curry just had like 5 of these game in the playoffs this year rofl hardaway fail...
