Nine new members of the Hall of Fame class of 2020 will be enshrined into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame this weekend at the Mohegan Sun Casino and Resort in Connecticut.
That includes Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett and the late Kobe Bryant. But one player who didn’t make the cut was Tim Hardaway Sr.
And that rubs New Orleans Pelicans coach Stan Van Gundy the wrong way.
When Hardaway starred for the Miami Heat from 1996-2001, Van Gundy was an assistant coach at that time for the Heat. Thus, he watched Hardaway play so superbly that he was chosen to the All-Star team in 1997 and ‘98.
