ESPN Sources: Dwyane Wade, Dirk Nowitzki, Pau Gasol, Tony Parker, Becky Hammon and Gregg Popovich are among the finalists who’ve been elected into Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame class of 2023. Formal announcement will come at Final Four in Houston this weekend.

Strong class.

Yep. A top 5 SG. Perhaps the 3 best retired Europeans, one of which is a top 10 PF.  One of the best women ever who is now a high level coach and the active coach with the most titles.  Really strong class.

"among the finalists"?  Can't imagine any of them not getting in.  who else is eligible that would get in over any of them?

I think they’ve been elected, and there are other finalists who weren’t.

As written, it would imply a larger group of finalists who have been elected to the Hall of Fame, and so the official announcement will include more people.

Congrats to Dirk and Tony! Gasol and especially DWade can rot.

Also getting the Hall's call: the 1976 U.S. Olympic women's basketball team; former Purdue coach Gene Keady, a seven-time Big Ten coach of the year; former Texas A&M women's coach Gary Blair, who took two teams to the Final Four; longtime coach at Division III Amherst and two-time national champion David Hixon; and Gene Bess, who won 1,300 games as a junior college coach at Three Rivers Community College in Poplar Bluff, Missouri.

The late Jim Valvano, who as a coach led North Carolina State to the 1983 NCAA title, was selected as a contributor -- also taking into account his work as a broadcaster and an outspoken advocate for cancer research and the V Foundation.
