The official announcement of the full class won’t come until this weekend, but Adrian Wojnarowski has reported what longed seemed to be a formality: two-time Lakers champion and six-time NBA All-Star Pau Gasol will be inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame as part of a star-studded 2023 class.
Joining Gasol, among others, will be Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade, Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki, San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker, his longtime head coach, Gregg Popovich, and former Spurs assistant and WNBA legend with the New York Liberty and San Antonio Stars, Becky Hammon, according to Woj.
