Former Miami Heat guard Tim Hardaway said on a radio show Wednesday afternoon that he would not want a gay player on his team.
"You know, I hate gay people, so I let it be known," Hardaway said. "I don't like gay people and I don't like to be around gay people. I am homophobic. I don't like it. It shouldn't be in the world or in the United States."
Hardaway was a guest of Miami Herald columnist Dan Le Betard on the Miami radio show Sports Talk 790 and was asked how he would deal with a gay teammate. When asked if he would accept an active player's coming out, such as that of retired NBA center John Amaechi, Hardaway replied: "First of all, I wouldn't want him on my team.
"And second of all, if he was on my team, I would, you know, really distance myself from him because, uh, I don't think that's right. And you know I don't think he should be in the locker room while we're in the locker room. I wouldn't even be a part of that," he said.
Hardaway later apologized for the remarks during a telephone interview with Fox affiliate WSVN in Miami.
"Yes, I regret it. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said I hate gay people or anything like that," he said. "That was my mistake."

When he played for Golden State he had the greatest crossover in the game. I loved that side whith Chris Mullins and my Lithuanian main-man Sarunas Marciulounis.
Dumb arse comments though.

If he lived half a century ago instead of now, he'd find out what hatred and bigotry were all about. It's too bad he and Allen Iverson can't have the opportunity to experience that; maybe they'd change their little minds.

I remeber ol" timmy, how every single year the Knicks would treat him like a little bitch "faggot" in the playoffs, so maybe thats why he hates gay people

I have no problem with him stating that except when he got to the level that they shouldn't even be in this world. Jeez.

It's really funny to me that people like Tim are actually still afraid of homosexuals.
At least he's honest. I don't feel any reason to try and change his opinion but it's really funny to me to hear the fear in his voice.
They are just regular people just like anyone else. It's kind of amazing so many people are still so uptight about sex....especially when it's not even sex they are taking part in.
why do we give a fuck what tim hardaway says anyway.

I read a qoute somewhere fom Amechi where he said the first thing he wants to do is show the stereotype that gay men want to jump on and hump every man they see is false
tim Hardaway is a short, bald, smooshfaced rat looking motherfucker, and the only thing that gets him any decent pussy is his MONEY.
the gay community probably doesnt want to fuck you in your over the hill ass, Timmy. Well, MAYBE Dan Majarle, but hed be too busy getting tan,er, redder to bother
