Congratulations to Chicago's 5-time NBA All-Star and Coach and Olympic Gold medalist Tim Hardaway Sr.! He will be inducted in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame next month right after his birthday next week.
On Monday, August 29th Carver Military Academy on the South Side will host a special ceremony to retire Tim's high school jersey and celebrate his induction next month… Tim will also visit a Cook County Detention Center to speak to incarcerated people about their successful transition from prison.
Tim founded The Support Group non-profit organization with community activist Benny Henry in 1989 and continues to help Chicago's youth, using a variety of programs (including basketball) to make sure they get access to opportunities that best serve them and their futures.
Tim's son Tim Hardaway Jr. plays for the Dallas Mavericks.
Remember to always celebrate your magic! xo
