Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard and Sue Bird headline the group of 17 finalists hoping to be elected into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2025 this weekend.
The entire class will be announced during the NCAA men’s Final Four on Saturday, April 5.
Other nominees include Maya Moore, who won six titles between UConn and the Minnesota Lynx, and Gonzaga coach Mark Few, who has steered the Bulldogs to 25 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances. The 2008 US Olympic men’s basketball team — which returned the US to the mountaintop, winning the gold medal — also received a nomination.
Last year, 13 inductees were enshrined in the Class of 2024, among them Vince Carter, Michael Cooper and Spike Lee.
