We’re at the quarter point of the NBA season and the league’s biggest surprise may be the Warriors. Second-year coach Mark Jackson has the team off to a 15-7 start, including a last-second victory at Miami on Wednesday that gave the Warriors a 5-0 record on their season-long seven-game road trip. In honor of the Warriors’ success, we look back at three of the franchise’s former stars — Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond and Chris Mullin, better known as Run TMC, a popular and entertaining trio in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
