    Wow, that's a lot of names, including many that I haven't heard of.
    Is this the character from the Chip Hilton books?

    Paul Pierce and... did I already say Paul Pierce?

    I’m sure there are worthy people from other areas, but that is some slim pickings for the pros.

    I assume the from the players list, the class ends up being:

    Pierce, Bosh, Hardaway, Webber

    From the coaches list.....
    Huggins and Karl are no-brainers.
    I absolutely loved watching Tim Hardaway play, but a HOF?
