April 6, 2009

David Robinson was officially inducted in the Hall of Fame today along with Michael Jordan and John Stockton. Long time Jazz coach Jerry Sloan was also inducted along with C. Vivian Stringer, former Rutgers Women’s Basketball coach.

We’ll have a post in the next few days about Robinson’s induction, but for now, here are a few links not only talking about each candidate, but also one comparing them to current players.
