This class will have plenty of big men, with Bosh, Webber, and Wallace having a similar role on the court during their active days.
Bill Russell will enter the HOF as a head coach now, alongside Adelman and Wright.
Things changed this season after the 2020 COVID pandemic. That’s why we had the 2020 ceremony yesterday, while this one will be in September.
This is a great honor for all of these people. They left a significant mark on the game and now will be immortalized.
