SPRINGFIELD, Mass. -- A pair of former Duke basketball players, Grant Hill and Charles “Lefty” Driesell, were officially inducted to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in a ceremony Friday night in Springfield, Mass.
Hill and Driesell become the first two Blue Devils to be inducted individually, and joined Christian Laettner, who was inducted as part of the 1992 Team USA Dream Team. Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski was inducted to the Naismith Hall of Fame in 2001.
“I came to you with a dream and you gave me the blue print," said Hill to Coach K, who attended the ceremony.
