Chauncey Billups and Vince Carter were among those chosen as the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame's Class of 2024, the Hall announced Saturday at the Final Four in Phoenix.

Billups helped the Detroit Pistons win the 2004 NBA championship and was named NBA Finals MVP. He averaged 15.2 points and 5.4 assists over 1,043 career games, mostly with the Pistons (2002-08) and Denver Nuggets. His 89.4 career free-throw percentage ranks sixth in NBA/ABA history.

Carter, the only person to play in the NBA during four different decades, made his greatest impact with the Toronto Raptors, where he became the franchise's first star player a few years into its existence.
