About the Book

Considered one of the best point guards of his generation, Tim Hardaway was a polarizing figure on the basketball court. Known for his distinguished college career at UTEP, Hardaway was selected in the first round of the 1989 NBA Draft by the Golden State Warriors. He soon became a household name. InKiller Crossover, Hardaway shares stories from his tough upbringing in Chicago through his collegiate career and to the NBA. As a part of "Run TMC" (with fellow Warriors Mitch Richmond and Chris Mullin), he immediately established himself as one of the top players on the hardwood. Joining the Miami Heat in 1996, and along with teammates Alonzo Mourning, Dan Majerle, and Jamal Mashburn (to name a few), he would become a main protagonist in one of the most contentious rivalries in all of basketball against the New York Knicks. A master trash talker and one of the best ball handlers, Hardaway shares what it was like playing basketball in the nineties against some of the greatest to ever play the game, including future Hall of Famers Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal, Patrick Ewing, and Reggie Miller. Never shy to speak his mind, "Tim Bug" pulls back the curtain on the blood, sweat, and tears that went into becoming one of the most feared guards in the game and a future Hall of Famer. But with the good comes the bad, as Hardaway opens up about his hurtful and anti-gay comments in 2007, and how a single radio interview turned his life upside-down. Though knocked down and painted as a hateful person, he adapted his "crossover" mentality to humbling himself and learning from his mistakes. Doing so, he became a proponent for the LGBTQ+ community, working closely with The Trevor Project and The YES Institute, as well as being the symbolic first signer of a petition to overturn "Florida Amendment 2," allowing same-sex marriage in the state of Florida. Killer Crossoveris not just a basketball biography. It is the story of a man who worked his way from humble beginnings to becoming an All-Star at the highest level-not to mention a father to a future NBA standout-as well as all the trials and tribulations that come along with being one of the best in the game.

Review :
Praise for Tim Hardaway and Killer Crossover “Chicago Hall of Famer Tim Hardaway has done what only a few NBA players have done: he left his permanent mark on the game!” —Isiah Thomas, NBA Hall of Famer “My man Tim Hardaway was one of the toughest point guards I had to guard. The killer crossover was real!” —Muggsy Bogues, NBA icon “Tim Hardaway had great handles, a deadly jump shot and the best crossover dribble in the NBA. He also had the heart of a lion. But he was definitely one of the coolest guys you could ever meet. Absolutely an NBA Great.” —Shawn Kemp, six-time NBA All-Star “When I was a young assistant coach first in the NBA, Tim Hardaway taught me as much about NBA basketball, in particular pick and roll basketball, as any coach ever did.” —Stan Van Gundy, iconic NBA coach and broadcaster “Tim Hardaway was an excellent player. He didn’t have great length but he made up for it with his solid body and tenacity. He could play the point or the big guard spot. He could guard players bigger than him. On offense, he had great quickness and was always a threat to beat his defender off the dribble. His killer crossover was as good as there ever was. I had the pleasure of coaching him in the 2000 Olympics in Sydney (Australia), where we won gold.” —Rudy Tomjanovich, two-time NBA champion coach
