The New York Knicks recently turned back the clocks by signing free agent shooting guard Tim Hardaway Jr. to a four-year contract. Hardaway Jr. spent the 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons with the Knicks, but had been with the Atlanta Hawks since the 2015 NBA Draft.
As Hardaway Jr. prepares for his lucrative return to New York, he’s making one thing perfectly clear: he wants to experience it with Carmelo Anthony.
Anthony and Hardaway Jr. became teammates and friends between 2013 and 2015. The two continued to train together as recently as the 2017 offseason, which some feel played a role in the 25-year-old’s return to The Mecca.
