Nine new inductees made their way into the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield over the weekend, including Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard, Sue Bird, and Maya Moore. Each year, the induction ceremony serves as the signal that the abyss that is the NBA offseason is almost over.
The Boston Celtics are no strangers to the Hoop Hall, with over 40 members of the organization in one way or another having been inducted. It has, however, been a few years since a (primarily) Celtic player has gone in, with the last being Paul Pierce in 2021.
When thinking of who could be next, there’s of course, someone like Al Horford, who had a tremendous college and pro career, and will likely be retiring soon.
