Get to know each of the 13 members being inducted:

Manu Ginobili

Ginobili, the 57th pick (second to last) in the 1999 draft by San Antonio, became a star in the NBA and internationally. A two-time All-Star, Ginobili played a key role on four Spurs championship teams in 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2014. He earned Sixth Man of the Year in 2008 and was named to the All-NBA third team in 2008 and 2011. Ginobili was also an integral member of the golden age of Argentina’s national basketball team. He won a gold medal at the 2004 Olympics, a bronze medal at the 2008 Olympics and a silver at the 2002 FIBA World Championships. He also helped make the Euro-step a standard move in the NBA.

Tim Hardaway

Hardaway was a five-time All-Star and five-time All-NBA selection, including first-team in 1997. He averaged 17.7 points and 8.2 assists with career-highs in points per game (23.4) in 1991-92 and assists per game (10.6) in 1992-93. Golden State selected Hardaway with the No. 14 pick in 1989, and he teamed up Mitch Richmond and Chris Mullin to form the dynamic “Run TMC” under Hall of Fame coach Don Nelson. Like Ginobili, Hardaway had a signature move – a crossover that often left defenders helpless as Hardaway raced by with his quick steps. Hardaway won a gold medal at the 2000 Olympics.

Swin Cash

Cash won championships – three WNBA titles, two NCAA titles at UConn, two Olympic gold medals and a FIBA World Championship gold medal. She made two All-WNBA teams, was named an All-Star four times, won the WNBA All-Star MVP award twice and in 2016, she was named one of the 20 greatest WNBA players of all-time. She averaged 10.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists in her 15-year WBNA career, including a career-high 16.6 points per game in 2003.

Lindsay Whalen

Whalen, a five-time WNBA All-Star and three-time All-WNBA first team performer, also won titles – four in the WNBA and two Olympic gold medals. She averaged 11.5 points and 4.9 assists with career-highs in points per game (14.9) in 2013 and assists per game (5.9) in 2011. She is No. 4 on the WNBA’s all-time assist list with 2,345 and was also named one of the 20 greatest players in WNBA history in 2016.

Marianne Stanley

She has been coaching ever since, including stints at Penn, Southern California, Stanford and Cal and then the WNBA, earning Coach of the Year honors in 2002 with the Washington Mystics. She led teams to three Final Fours (twice at Old Dominion and once at Stanford) and had a 416-222 record as a college coach.

Bob Huggins

Huggins played at West Virginia but made a name for himself coaching in college, primarily in the greater Ohio Valley region at Walsh College, Akron, Cincinnati and now at his alma mater with a few stops in between. Known for installing hard-nosed, stingy defenses (and pullover tops while on the sidelines), Huggins has compiled a 916-398 record with 25 NCAA tournament appearances and elevated Cincinnati from decent mid-major to title contender. He led Cincinnati to the Final Four in 1992 and West Virginia to the Final Four in 2010.

He was drafted by the St. Louis Hawks who moved to Atlanta after Hudson’s second season.

In a 13-year pro career, he averaged 20.2 points, including a career-high 27.1 in 1972-73.

She scored more than 1,000 points at Immaculata and more than 1,200 at Cardinal O’Hara High (Springfield, Pa.). Following her playing career, she began coaching at the college level at Saint Joseph’s, Rutgers, Illinois and Lafayette, recording 681 victories. She also coached the U.S. to a bronze medal at the 1992 Olympics.

Radivoj Korac
