Basketball Hall of Fame – Class of 2025 news, schedule and more

The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame announced its members of the Class of 2025 for enshrinement in Springfield, Massachusetts.

Former NBA stars Carmelo Anthony and Dwight Howard were selected, as was the 2008 U.S. Olympic men’s basketball — dubbed the “Redeem Team” — that they both played on.

Also selected for enshrinement: WNBA greats Sue Bird, Maya Moore and Sylvia Fowles; Chicago Bulls coach and two-time NCAA champion Billy Donovan; Miami Heat managing general partner Micky Arison and longtime NBA referee Danny Crawford.

The annual award winners are George Blaha, Clark Kellogg, Michelle Smith, Adrian Wojnarowski and Jeff Twiss.

The full list of nominees from the North American and women’s committees was unveiled in December. The 2025 class was announced on April 5 at the NCAA Final Four in San Antonio.

Enshrinement weekend will begin at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut on Sept. 5, with the tip-off celebration and awards gala, inclusive of the Class of 2025 jacket and ring presentation and the annual Hall of Fame Awards. The enshrinement ceremony will take place Sept. 6 in Springfield at the Hall of Fame.
