Words mean little when the dreams have died and the lockers are barren.
But Anfernee Hardaway has something to tell you, and it's regarding his heart. Where I'm at right now has given me a lot of hope, and knowing that I have another six months, there's no doubt in my mind that I'll be able to come back and play great basketball. For the first time since deciding not to play in the postseason, Hardaway spoke extensively about his knee injury, his critics and a reputation that has been shadowing him for years. As he sat in the stands at Wells Fargo Arena, he spoke passionately about his inner drive to make it back and the majority of people who think he was a gigantic bust. He's not asking that you change your mind overnight.
