The Downbeat #1984 - The “Hall of Fame” Edition

It’s all about the Hall of Fame today, with a few Utah Jazz stories along the way.

The Basketball Hall of Fame class of 2016 was introduced yesterday, and it was a glorious moment for some of the most iconic faces of the game. Among the six players selected, well, let’s just make this a bullet point list:

  • Shaquille O’Neal -- probably the most dominant bigman since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, 4x NBA Champion, 3x Finals MVP, 1x MVP (what?), 15x All-Star, 3x All-Star MVP, 8x All-NBA 1st team, Rookie of the Year, NBA’s 50th Anniversary team, 1x Olympic Gold Medal, some rap albums, some horrible movies, I think he also has two Master’s degrees somehow.
