Hardaway was originally selected to play for "Dream Team II" in the 1994 World Basketball Championship but was replaced by Isiah Thomas because of a torn knee ligament; Isiah was later also replaced by Kevin Johnson.
He was also selected (as one of the last two players selected) for the 1998 World Basketball Championship team. The team was later replaced with CBA and college players due to the NBA lockout.
In 2000, he finally got his opportunity to play before the world stage in the Sydney Olympics where he scored 5.5 points/Game and shot .385 (15- 39) from the field.
