Following this weekend’s delayed festivities for the 2020 Basketball Hall of Fame process, the members of the 2021 entered the spotlight on Sunday. Former Portland Trail Blazers head coach Rick Adelman was included in a group of three coaches set to enter the Hall of Fame later this year.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski delivered the list of inductees earlier today.
