In addition, the first Hall of Fame recommended 15 Chinese basketball predecessors directly to the hall in the form of “special tribute”, and at the same time recommended the first group of “five and ten heroes of New China Basketball.
Originally, 10 people will be elected in the first Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, including 4 male athletes, 3 female athletes and 3 coaches. Why is the final list of 9 people published, and the number of coaches is one less? According to the general understanding of sports students, according to the final rule of “China Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame recommendation activity plan”, each sponsor needs to be recommended by at least 2/3 members. There were 13 people in this final review committee, and only Jiang Xingquan and Xu Limin were recommended by the coach through 2/3, so the coach was reduced from 3 to 2.
In view of the current situation of epidemic prevention and control, the entrance ceremony originally scheduled for early December will be postponed to the appropriate time next year.
