My Honeydew this week is former NBA player Tim Hardaway! Check out Tim’s new book, Killer Crossover. Tim joins me this week to Highlight the Lowlights of the fallout that came with his controversial comments back in 2007. We dive into the background that led Tim to his original views, the moment he realized the gravity of his mistake, and the steps he continues to take to right the wrongs and pain he caused. Tim also opens up about his background growing up in Chicago with an abusive dad, and shares some stories from his time playing, like the time he took a bet against Michael Jordan for a Louis Vuitton jacket, and Kevin Johnson gave him his ‘Welcome to the League’ moment!
