2016 NBA Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony: Where to Watch
By Eric Yee
The class of players being inducted into the 2016 NBA Hall of Fame are undeniably among one of the most impactful of all time
It seems like just yesterday that the players being inducted into the 2016 NBA Hall of Fame were dominating their competition at nearly every position on the court.
In his prime, Shaquille O’Neal was seriously in the conversation for best big man of all time. Allen Iverson is arguably the best pound for pound player the league has ever seen. Yao Ming helped put Chinese basketball players on the map and made an entire nation fall even further in love with the game of basketball.
Personally, I feel that every single one of these players had careers that ended way too soon, and their relatively quick induction into the Hall of Fame seems to prove just that.
