The best moments of Dirk Nowitzki's career can be found in this picture. There is a time and a place for it.
Popovich has been to the Hall of Fame ceremony many times to show his support for someone.
He may be in a different role next year.
The NBA's all-time winningest coach, who has quietly declined overtures from the Hall in the past, is on the list of first-time nominees.
They are on the ballot for the first time. Popovich was the biggest surprise since he has never said when he would allow the Hall to list him as a candidate.
It will be an unbelievable moment. "To top everything that has happened here the last couple years and words and accolades that have come my way, that will be the ultimate."
The 1976 U.S. Olympic women's team and the 1982 Cheyney University women's basketball team were nominated for the first time.
The NBA All-Star weekend in Salt Lake City will be the site of the announcement of the nominees for the Hall of Fame. The full class of Hall of Famers will be announced at the NCAA Final Four in Houston on April 1, and at the Hall of Fame weekend in Connecticut in August.
It could be one of the most star-laden classes of all time, especially if Popovich goes in. Popovich has coached the San Antonio Spurs to five NBA titles and four of them have been won by TonyParker. The other two legs of the Spurs' Big Three are already in the Hall of Fame.
The USA Basketball team will play in the World Cup next summer in the Philippines if it qualifies, and that's where the Miami Heat coach will be working. Soon after the start of the tournament, the Hall of Fame ceremony will take place, and coach Eric Spoelstra will be taking a break from his duties on Steve Kerr's staff to be in Massachusetts for the event.
"I'm not going to wait for it because we all know how D Wade is," he said. He's going to throw a party that's going to last a long time.
The women's veterans direct-elect committee will consider the 1976 U.S. women's team. There are also candidates that will be reviewed by the international direct-elect committee, as well as candidates that will be considered by the contributors direct-elect committee, and candidates that will be considered by the veterans direct-elect committee.
