Dirk Nowitzki, Dwyane Wade headline Naismith Hall of Fame's Class of 2023

The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2023 was officially announced at the Final Four on Saturday and it is a loaded one.

Dirk Nowitzki and Dwyane Wade, each legends with the Dallas Mavericks and Miami Heat, lead the way among players. The addition of Pau Gasol and Tony Parker alongside Nowitzki also means the class will feature three of the greatest European players ever.

Between that quartet of players alone, you have 39 NBA All-Star selections, 10 NBA championships and five Olympic medals.

The most legendary figure to be inducted, though, is arguably San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich, the winningest coach in NBA history and a five-time champion.
