Tim Hardaway issued an apology in the same game where he made a terrible comparison on a broadcast.

After a tough defensive play in the third quarter between the Golden State Warriors and the San Antonio Spurs, Hardaway said "ya'll thought that was great D, I thought that was just raping him." After a bit of back-and-forth banter between Hardaway and his fellow broadcasters Chris Mullen and Mitch Richmond, Hardaway added that "I think he should have called the police on that."

Just an ugly phrase by Hardaway. And in the fourth quarter, Hardaway apologized for what he said.
