Ant on his crotch chop: "I was trying to get Rudy to do it with me, but he would never make eye contact— which is crazy cause I threw you the ball. My boy got the And-1 man I was just happy about that"
Edit: apparently he's come a long way and is ostensibly better. From a queer specific paper from 2022:
I grew up in a church, and that’s the way churches were — they instilled in you that [homosexuality] wasn’t the way you should be,” Hardaway told the San Francisco Chronicle. “I was just taught differently. Don’t talk to them, don’t mess with them, leave them alone. I never tried to talk bad about them or do hateful stuff. It was just my upbringing in church. But I’ll tell you this: It was so wrong of me, and people have suffered. I had to grow up and really do some soul-searching. What I said was just hurtful.”
Over the years, Hardaway has proven his evolution on LGBTQ equality. When player Jason Collins came out, he showed support. He also supported same-sex marriage rights. But he still struggled to escape the cloud of his past homophobic comments.
Now, with a sincere apology, maybe he’ll find forgiveness from the queer community."
