20. Tim Hardaway

Tim Hardaway, who is commonly known as Tim Bug, is another Chicago native that fans will often turn to when they think of the best ballers to hail from the city.

Hardaway stands out for many, in part, because of his size. At 6-feet tall, Hardaway was considered small in comparison to some of his opposing defenders. Still, he managed to have an impact on the game in more ways than many people could only dream of.

Among the accolades of note are five All-Star Team nods, one All-Rookie Team selection and five All-NBA Team honors. Not to forget to mention Hardaway ranked among the top 20 in assists for 10 seasons.

Hardaway made his NBA debut with the Golden State Warriors in November of 1989. During the span of his career, he would ultimately suit up for a number of different teams, including the Miami Heat, Dallas Mavericks, Denver Nuggets and Indiana Pacers.

Hardaway has a 79.2% chance of getting inducted as a player into the Hall of Fame.

Hardaway was born in Chicago. He attended high school at Carver Military Academy High School in Chicago and went on to enroll in college at the University of Texas at El-Paso in El Paso, Texas.
