The Suns really came after me, they really wanted me. And me not playing really makes them look bad. Then there are his teammates. And ever since I've been here, I've been injured. He's been working his butt off, and it was almost an embarrassment for me coming to the arena every night.
Words come cheap now that the season is over.
But if contrition means anything, Hardaway sounds sincere and eager, and desperate to prove his worth. To the Colangelos. To his teammates. To his critics. I haven't given them anything to cheer about.
