With NBA stars like Grant Hill, Ray Allen, Jason Kidd and Steve Nash all included in the 2018 NBA Basketball Hall of Fame class expectations were the enshrinement ceremony would offer plenty of great moments. But, it was OKC Thunder associate coach Mo Cheeks who won over those assembled and the television viewing audience.
It was clear from the start of Cheeks speech he isn’t comfortable speaking to the masses. Known as a man of few words the Hall of Fame point guard nervousness was palpable. Still he injected humor throughout his speech and at least from this living room seat stole the show with the most touching moment of the evening.
