The Class of 2020 will arguably be the most star-studded in the history of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
All eight finalists — led by the late Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett — were selected Saturday for enshrinement and will be inducted August 29 in Springfield, Massachusetts.
Bryant, Duncan and Garnett will be joined by 10-time WNBA All-Star Tamika Catchings of the Indiana Fever; coach Kim Mulkey of three-time women’s NCAA champion Baylor; five-time Division II coach of the year Barbara Stevens of Bentley University; four-time NCAA coach of the year Eddie Sutton; and former Houston Rockets coach Rudy Tomjanovich, a two-time title winner.
In addition to the finalists, longtime FIBA executive Patrick Baumann was selected as an inductee, bringing the Class of 2020 to nine.
