Tim Hardaway Sr. says he does not want his son, Tim Hardaway Jr., to wear the number 10 with the Miami Heat. Hardaway Jr. has long associated himself with No. 10, having worn it throughout high school and college and for much of his early NBA career as a tribute to his father. According to Hardaway Sr., he told his son his position about the Heat situation about five years ago, when Hardaway Jr. was nearing a potential move to Miami as a free agent. Hardaway Sr. frames his request around honoring his own legacy, saying, “My legacy is my legacy.” The reporting indicates the father’s view is linked to the fact that No. 10 is retired by the Heat, which he believes should prevent its use by his son for the team. The sources agree that the discussion between father and son is ongoing and centers specifically on Miami and the use of No. 10 rather than on Hardaway Jr.’s personal history with the number.
