Dallas Mavericks wing Tim Hardaway Jr. did an interview with his father about both of their careers in the NBA on April 19. Find out more here.

The Dallas Mavericks were in the midst of a playoff run when the season came to a sudden halt on March 11. Luka Doncic was leading the charge as he transformed into a superstar before every fan’s eyes. Tim Hardaway Jr. played a massive role in the Mavs success too. The 28-year-old was having his most efficient season as Dallas’ third scorer.
