"I don’t like gay people and I don’t like to be around gay people. I am homophobic," he added."I don’t like it. It shouldn’t be in the world or in the United States."in September, Hardaway apologized for those comments, citing the church instilled those thoughts in him. "I grew up in a curch, and that’s the way churches were – they instilled in you that wasn’t the way you should be," Hardaway said via 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.
Hardaway spent five and a half seasons with the Warriors, starting as a rookie in the 1989-90 season as the 14th overall pick.
