Dwyane Wade, Jason Kidd, Chris Bosh and Kobe Bryant — all Hall of Famers already — now in again with the Redeem Team. And Melo and Dwight basically go in twice in the same year. – 12:14 PM

Dwight Howard reportedly elected to the Hall of Fame on the first ballot. As he should have been.
Carmelo Anthony and Sue Bird also should be unquestioned first-ballot people in this year’s HOF class.

Well-deserved first-ballot HoF selection for Dwight Howard. I was worried that voters might get distracted by some of the fluff around him and forget he was a top-5 player in the NBA for a 5 year period. Never was the same after that back injury. – 9:35 PM

Congrats to @carmeloanthony, selected for induction into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame with the Class of ’25.
Carmelo played 2 seasons with the @trailblazers (2019-21). He was accommodating with the media and a good representative of the franchise and the city of Portland. – 8:00 PM

Carmelo Anthony to be inducted into Hall of Fame on first ballot
As he should be, Melo was one of the great bucket-getters the game has seen. He was an NCAA champion at Syracuse, won three Olympic gold medals, and averaged 22.5 PPG in the NBA.

For the record, we had Carmelo Anthony as the best former player not in the Hall of Fame.
