The former teammate has remained involved with the Warriors community since retiring. Two months earlier, he received his most recent request from the team: broadcast the game on NBC Sports Bay Area.

Initially, the Warriors wanted to find a way to honor Tim Hardaway’s Hall-of-Fame induction, which reunited the trio into the Hall. They thought it would be fitting for the night to honor the Run TMC era with team jerseys. But then it blossomed into a full blown broadcast.

Mullin is no stranger to television broadcasting. He serves as an analyst for NBC’s Warriors pre and postgame shows. But this is new territory for Hardaway and Richmond.

“We’ll see what kind of skills we’ve got,” Hardaway said. “Chris does a great job, but we’re going to bring the flavor … And then we’ve got Tom Tolbert. Ooh, V. We don’t know what he’s going to say. He can say anything. He’ll probably drink beer.” is drinking.” immediately.”

Hardaway admits he barely noticed. But, one thing the producers made very clear: that’s not what you can say on the air.

He did not do much research on the team going into the game and planned to rely on his already existing knowledge of the history of the team and organization to lead them forward.

“How he moves the ball reminds us how we play,” Richmond said. “We moved the ball, we cut, we passed. So that’s always good to see.”

Another parallel between their team and this team, and one that Mullin, Richmond and Hardaway were not happy to learn, is that these are the only two Warriors teams to start 0–7 on the road (they went 0–9 in 1989). -90, according to ESPN’s Statistics and Information Research.)

Hardaway said, “What a way to get us in.” “We were still trying to learn stuff and learn each other… I don’t know what to say about that.”

That’s when Mullin chimed in, echoing how he sees the Warriors’ early struggles

“It’s a unique situation because you’re talking about a dynasty and trying [move] Dynasty is beyond anything we’ve seen in the past,” Mullin said.

“It’s very early in the season trying to bridge that gap and trying to find that connection between the first unit and the second unit … The fact that it’s happening so early in the season means a little bit of There’s going to be more analysis. But we played together for two years… They’ve been together for a decade. But there’s a lot of hope for them to find out [how to bend new, young players] And play like that.”
