Any time there’s a former player still mentioned today, it likely means they deserve a look at Hall of Fame candidacy. To this day when fans discuss a young player with a quick crossover dribble the name Tim Hardaway is eventually mentioned. Hardaway’s famed “UTEP 2 Step” remains the golden standard in terms of devastating dribble moves. The five-time All-Star was the leader of one of the league’s most explosive offenses during his “Run-TMC” days in Golden State. Hardaway later proved he could captain a more methodical attack when he helped lead the Miami Heat to the Eastern Conference Finals in ’97.
