Dirk Nowitzki is now officially enshrined as a member of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. He led a packed class of stars from across the basketball world and gave one of the final two speeches in what ended up being a fantastic evening celebrating the game of basketball.
The newest Hall members received their jackets and rings Friday in a special ceremony, with Saturday night featuring a red carpet walk and official enshrinement.
Dirk’s speech (which we’ll link here once it’s online) was characteristically great, thanking people for their support, acknowledging his peers, and noting the lessons he’s learned along the way.
