Welcome to Springfield: The candidates we'd put in the Hall

Thirteen people will be enshrined into the Basketball Hall of Fame on Friday, expanding the membership of what is already one of pro sports' most inclusive Halls. However, even with the annual additions of more and more players, coaches, executives and contributors, some worthy candidates have been left waiting for their orange blazers and time in the spotlight in Springfield, Massachusetts.

Our writers attempted to right some of those wrongs, picking people from all walks of basketball whom they'd enshrine alongside the likes of Ray Allen, Grant Hill, Jason Kidd and Steve Nash if they had the power to do so.
