'Icon' Ben Wallace, ex-Michigan star Chris Webber selected to Basketball Hall of Fame

The 2021 class of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame will have a decided Detroit flavor to it.

The star-studded class will include two familiar names: Pistons icon Ben Wallace and former Michigan All-America and "Fab Five" member Chris Webber, who played at Detroit Country Day.

The group of luminaries selected also includes Paul Pierce, Chris Bosh as players, coaches Rick Adelman, Jay Wright and Bill Russell, and WNBA players Yolanda Griffith and Lauren Jackson.

Wallace’s selection was reported on Saturday, and the Hall of Fame made the official announcement of the new class on Sunday.
