It’s going to feel like a Suns reunion up in Springfield, Mass., with Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, Grant Hill, Charlie Scott and Rick Welts going into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame on Friday.
It’s never happened before that so many guys from the same franchise – four players and one executive – have gotten enshrined in the same class.
Jerry Colangelo, former Suns owner and current chairman of the Hall of Fame, is the thread that connects them all.
He drafted Steve Nash.
He traded for Jason Kidd.
He was a special adviser when Grant Hill joined the club.
