The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2023 was officially announced at the Final Four on Saturday and it is a loaded one.
Dirk Nowitzki and Dwyane Wade, each legends with the Dallas Mavericks and Miami Heat, lead the way among players. The addition of Pau Gasol and Tony Parker alongside Nowitzki also means the class will feature three of the greatest European players ever.
Between that quartet of players alone, you have 39 NBA All-Star selections, 10 NBA championships and four Olympic medals. The most legendary figure to be inducted, though, is arguably San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich, the winningest coach in NBA history and a five-time champion. His former assistant, current Las Vegas Aces head coach Becky Hammon, will also be inducted for her playing career in the WNBA, though her work as a coach could end up being worthy in its own right.
The addition of Popovich and Parker also completes the Spurs dynasty's move to the Hall of Fame, with Tim Duncan earning induction in 2020 and Manu Ginobili in 2022.The 1976 Olympic women's basketball team, which won the silver medal in its first Olympics appearance, was also inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Congratulations to the 1976 Olympic Women's Basketball Team who won the silver medal in the inaugural appearance for Women’s Olympic Basketball, setting the standard for future generations of American women’s basketball players.
