There was a total of six basketball icons selected for the Basketball Hall of Fame including Allen Iverson, Yao Ming, Sheryl Swoopes, Tom Izzo, Jerry Reinsdorf, and Shaquille O’Neal.
All of these great basketball personalities deserved to get into the Hall of Fame because of the impact they had on basketball, players, and how the game is played.
I am happy for Izzo, despite dominating Illinois year in and year out. He has been one of the greatest college basketball coaches of all-time.
Growing up I remember watching Swoopes in the playoffs with the Houston Comets.
