Tim Hardaway Jr. joined the Ben and Skin Show on 105.3 The Fan [KRLD-FM] to talk about his first couple of weeks in Dallas. Here are some highlights.

On what he remembers about living in Dallas as a kid

Hardaway Jr.: "I lived in Dallas for fourth grade, Plano, Texas, Indian Creek Elementary, I think that's where I went to school. I only was here for a year, I remember that year it snowed, only for a little bit, and Dallas hadn't had snow for a very long time. ... That's all I can remember, to be honest with you."

On his relationships with the Mavericks' front office

Hardaway Jr.: "Obviously [known Donnie Nelson and his family] for a very, very long time. I'm pretty sure my dad still keeps in contact with them all. Another guy who helps me out a lot that I've known since I was a kid is Michael Finley. Him being a Chicago native, my dad being a Chicago native, they're really close, and he's really helped out with the transition a lot as well."

Who he compares Mavericks rookie Luka Doncic to

Hardaway Jr.: "I mean, everybody wants to compare him to James Harden with the step-back, and you know, I see a lot of Brandon Roy in him. That guy made big shots, knock down the three, get to the lane, moved at his pace, played point at a great size. A lot of people forget about Brandon Roy. I really could see him, James Harden and Brandon Roy mixed together."

On Tim Hardaway Sr.'s famous crossover

Hardaway Jr.: "I think my dad can tell you this story, I think he used that move a lot because he was so much smaller than everybody growing up. ... So that's why he developed that move. I think for myself, we're two different types of basketball players. I'm taller than him, I don't really need that much separation to get my shot off, I can elevate over people. I didn't really feel like it was a big deal for me. I'll probably bring it out here and there occasionally, not all the time, but you'll see it if I bring it out."

On the Kristaps Porzingis

Hardaway Jr.: "Well you can't teach height, that's first and foremost. And you can't teach height at that athleticism, and being that agile. With a guy that can shoot the ball from anywhere on the floor. He's a rim-protector, he can bring the ball up the floor, great guy to throw a lob to. everything you're asking for a guy who's 7-foot-2 that's a wing in a 7-foot-2's body."
