The Basketball Hall of Fame announced their 14 finalists for possible enshrinement into the Hall’s class of 2021 election.

So many great names and deserving people, but let’s make Sacramento shine with this class. All 3 people have ties to Sacramento and did a lot of their best work while in the capital city.

Rick Adelman is the 9th winningest coach of all-time. Six of the coaches with more wins than him are already in the Hall of Fame. The other two (George Karl and Gregg Popovich) aren’t eligible yet but they will get there soon. Adelman has 515 more wins than Rudy T, and 404 more than the great Chuck Daly. The Sacramento Kings in 36 seasons of basketball here in Sacramento have had 8 seasons of .500 or better basketball and all 8 were coached by Rick Adelman.

Chris Webber is back on the finalist list. C-Webb has been a bit controversial on this list before because his Michigan days have been scrubbed from the books but not from our memory. The Fab 5 is iconic. Combine that a Rookie of the Year award, 5 All-Star appearances, 5 X all NBA and truly one of the great players during his time and to me C. Webb is definitely a Hall of Famer.

Yolanda Griffith was an absolute monster for the Sacramento Monarchs. Yo won 2 Gold Medals, was a 7 time All Star, a WNBA MVP, a WNBA champion and one of the greatest female basketball players ever. Yolanda should be an absolute lock for the Hall of Fame.

With all this laid out there, let’s put them all in together.

Sacramento has had some tough times with hoops over the last decade and a half, so lets all enjoy some of the best we have ever seen and put them in together.

Good luck Coach, C-Webb and Yo, you all deserve this.
