SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — Vlade Divac and Jack Sikma were big men who could pass and hit a jump shot, helping redefine the post position in the NBA.
They were the centers of attention Thursday, receiving their orange jackets in advance of Friday night's induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
“We showed we could play from different positions on the floor and do different things,” Divac said during the annual Hall of Fame media scrum. “I was always happiest when I was passing, making my teammates better. I’m glad we could contribute to basketball in that way.
