Dwyane Wade, Dirk Nowitzki & Gregg Popovich Headline 2023 Hall of Fame Class

The finalists for the 2023 Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame class were unveiled on Tuesday, and it features six undeniable basketball greats. Dwayne Wade, Dirk Nowitzki, Tony Parker, and Pau Gasol mark the four NBA players while Gregg Popovich (coach) and Becky Hammon (WNBA/coach) fill out the ballot. Wade and Nowitzki are the stars of the class, claiming four combined NBA championships and a Finals MVP for each. They’re the most recognizable stars associated with the Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks from the early 2000s. And then there’s Pop, the NBA’s all-time leader in wins and a handful of titles with the Spurs. French players Parker and Gasol add some international talent to the 2023 class, and Hammon boasts six WNBA all-star appearances and a recent WNBA title as the head coach of the Las Vegas Aces.
