Mike Gorman's in too.
Congratulations to Mike Gorman too for his HOF awards, but I do not see him in Naismith HOF list.

The voice on the other end informed Gorman that he was a recipient of the 2021 Curt Gowdy Award and he will be inducted into the media wing of the Basketball Hall of Fame

Tommy needs to go in next year winning this award. He would become a 3 time Hall inductee. First ever, I think.

So you go from the greatest player class perhaps ever in 2020 to one of the worst in 2021.  Pierce, Wallace, Bosh, and Webber just doesn't measure up well with many classes.  A super elite defender and rebounder that is one of the worst offensive players ever and 3 very good, but not great, players. 
2025 Historical Draft - Cleveland Cavaliers - 1st pick

Starters - Luka, JB, Lebron, Wemby, Shaq
Rotation - D. Daniels, Mitchell, G. Wallace, Melo, Noah
Deep Bench - Korver, Turner

TP.  I’m of the age where Chris Webber is the player most responsible for making me like basketball, and Paul Pierce the one who drew me into the NBA game.  This is my class.

No, but upon further reflection I was a bit hard on those guys, especially when looking at some of the other more recent 4 or more person classes.

PP is just another one of those great Celtics who have won a championship. His number will be hanging up on the rafters soon with the rest of them.

KG represented well with his green suit at the induction ceremony.
