Oh wow. I wonder if there will be an issue with the Spurs retiring his number. He didn't end his career over here but did spend about 5 years over here, but longer with the Bulls at 6 years (wikipedia).
Just announced

He deserved to be there. Sad that it took so long.
Well deserved.

Congrats A-Train !!1
Long overdue and well-deserved.
Moves Bernard King to the top of the list of best eligible player not in the HOF.
I am so happy for him. I have been watching him since his first year with the NBA in 1977.
Congrats to Artis! Couldn't happen to a better guy.
About damn time...
Wonderful news and long overdue.
Hugely overdue.
Awesome!
Glad to hear it, well deserving.

Reporter: "Artis, how does it feel to know you will finally be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame?"

Awesome to hear. Long overdue.

A-Train in the HOF....Finally!
Well deserved. Congrats, Artis.
Is this the latest train ever?

Interview with Greg Lemond
Reporter: "Greg, what's on your IPOD?"
Lemond: "Right now I've been listening to Wu-Tang Clan. Also, the Wreckers."
One of the first Spurs games I ever went to at Hemisfair somehow I had great seats right under the basket almost and it happened to be Akeem Olojuwan's first game against the Spurs. I was amazed how Artis "educated" him under the hoop. Those guys were huge, I dont think people today have any idea just how damn big Gilmore was. His shot was hitting a little short dunk under the basket and I remember him leading the league in accuracy for years (he didnt take many shots, but when he did, he made them all). He will probably go in as a Bull but Im glad for the guy, he deserved it.
Cool . . .
