NBA-ийн домогт тоглогч Тим Хардауэй өөрийн зохион байгуулсан хүүхдийн зусланд оролцох үеэрээ Майкл Жордантай талбай дээр өрсөлдөж байсан хүндхэн тулаануудынхаа талаар ярьжээ.
Чикаго хотоос гаралтай Хардауэй өсвөр үеийнхэнд зориулсан “Killa Crossover” зусланг амжилттай зохион байгуулж, хүүхдүүдэд сагсан бөмбөгийн үндсэн суурь болон техникийн дасгал сургуулилт хийлгэсэн байна. Зуслангийн үйл ажиллагаа дууссаны дараа тэрээр NBA-д тоглогч болон дасгалжуулагчаар ажиллаж байсан туршлагаасаа хуваалцаж, сонирхогчдын асуултад хариулжээ.
Хардауэй Майкл Жордантай тоглож байсан үеэ дурсахдаа “Жордантай хамгаалалтад тулгарна гэдэг маш хэцүү байсан. Бид Чикагод өсөж, олон удаа нөхөрсөг тоглолтод таарч байсан болохоор бие биеэ сайн мэднэ. Хэрэв би түүнийг хамгаалбал тэр оноо авна, тэр намайг хамгаалбал би оноо авна гэдгийг мэдэж байсан. Тэр бол агуу өрсөлдөгч байсан” хэмээн онцолсон байна. Түүнчлэн тэрээр Детройт Пистонсын домог Айзея Томас болон Голдэн Стэйт Уорриорсын “Run TMC” үеийн тоглолтын хэв маягийг өөрийн тоглолтдоо хэрхэн тусгаж байснаа ярьжээ.
Тим Хардауэй болон Майкл Жордан нар хоёулаа Алдрын танхимын гишүүн болж, NBA-ийн түүхэнд нэрээ мөнхөлсөн бөгөөд тэдний дунд харилцан хүндэтгэл үргэлж байдаг. Одоогийн байдлаар Хардауэй бизнесийн салбарт ажиллаж, 80-90-ээд онд өөрийг нь алдаршуулсан сагсан бөмбөгийн спортоос холдолгүй, хүү нь ч мөн NBA-д амжилттай тоглож байгааг харж байна. Майами Хит баг түүний 10 дугаартай өмсгөлийг мөнхөлсөн билээ.

The “Killa Crossover” camp featured Tim Hardaway along with professional ballers and coaches Liam Platt and Durrell “Nuggett” McDonald, teaching kids between the ages of 8-17 the fundamentals of the game and put them through rigorous drills to improve their overall ability. Hardaway was on hand to answer questions, and provide feedback and advice to the aspiring youngsters.
As the camp concluded, the Olympic Gold Medalist shared his experiences with both playing and coaching in the NBA, which was followed by questions from the campers. After, Hardaway sat down with OpenCourt-Basketball to discuss various aspects of his playing career, one of what was the heated matchups between himself and legendary Chicago Bulls guard Michael Jordan, as he offered some insight into what it was like guarding MJ.
“You should be asking Michael Jordan what it was like to guard me!
You know I played against Mike a lot of times I’m from Chicago, so we played a lot of times just pick up basketball games in Chicago, I didn’t like sticking him and he didn’t like sticking me, so it was like if he stuck me I knew I was going to score and if I stuck him I knew he was going to score on me, he was hard to stop, simple as that you do whatever you can, but he was tough, you know he was tough, you tried to stop him but he was a great competitor, a great competitor, the best you can ever want to play with or against.”
Hardaway also discussed molding his game after Detroit Pistons legend Isiah Thomas as well as the “Run TMC” days with the Don Nelson and the Golden State Warriors.
Despite their fierce matchups, there will always be that mutual respect between Hardaway and Jordan, as both men went on to have Hall Of Fame careers and retire as NBA legends. The Miami Heat have since retired Hardaway’s number 10 jersey and he’s witnessed his son transition into a solid NBA player.
Nowadays, Hardaway is involved with many business ventures and still remains close to the game that made him a household name in the 80s and 90s. It’s always a treat hearing the veterans and legends of our game talk about their past, and where the game is heading moving forward.
