2021 Hall of Fame Notes: MJ's impact on Kukoc, Dick Motta's HOF candidacy, and more

Sam Smith reflects on the Hall of Fame candidacy of former Bulls coach Dick Motta

One of the favorite games for Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame weekend is to guess who else should be there. Where are players like Shawn Kemp, Tim Hardaway, Chauncey Billups, Lou Hudson and Larry Costello? Or contributors like Johnny Kerr and Doug Collins?
