this felt oddly personal 😻👅
First
Thnk you for the memories
Inviting a predator disgusting
Kamala Harris in the thumbnail.
Why are we putting wnba players in the NBA hall of Fame
Different leagues
LeBron James been in the league so long, players drafted with and after him are in the Hall of fame while he still competing.
I'm always amazed seeing how genuinely happy every body is to get into the HOF. These are champs, scoring champs, All NBA guys. And they're all in awe of the hall.
S/O HEAT NATION 🔥
How Howard makes the HOF but not the NBA top 75 is insane
This compilation isn’t just highlights — it’s a study in how athletes shape their own stories. Each speech balanced humility, humor, and a clear message about legacy. Congrats to the #25HoopClass — a class that reminds us why basketball matters on and off the court. 🏀♥
MELO!!!
Maya Moore is the greatest wnba player of all time. Period
They said Dwight boyfriend out there
From Dwight story we can get that as an NBA player, you only play through your career once, build it how you want it to be so you can cherish it at the end. He's one of the greatest, but not recognized enough because of the trajectory of his career. Besides that, everyone who watch the games know how dominant and unstoppable he is
Shaq introducing Dwight is insane. hahaha
MAYA DESERVE IT SHE WAS A BEAST
I would expect no other speech from Dwight. 😂
Praise the lord. 6:49
Respect to Howard man
There are other/many great asian/european/ latin american players and coaches who have greater contributions to the game rather than the usual arrogance and boastfulness seen in inductions.
1:22:24 is crazy timing
Congratulations superman
maybe 25 years from now he will be top 100 player
Sue bird ❤
The ref didn’t get a speech?
That dog barking was such perfect timing… poetic, even.
Lebron James and Chris Paul are the only players inducted into the Hall of Fame while they are currently playing. This is what makes Lebron the GOAT aint no one name MJ ever do that! 🤞🤞
the most respect to Danny Crawford… loved seeing you every night snd every game… nothing but respect!! I know GP hated you!!
Huge respect to Melo. That speech is hall of fame level.
