Cam Johnson sits down with Mike Sykes to explain his preparation for the 2025 Starry 3-Point Contest.
The identity of the Class of 2025 of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame just became a little clearer.
A group of 17 finalists for enshrinement were announced Friday as part of the NBA’s All-Star Game weekend, which kicked off in San Francisco.
Headlining the finalist class are former Nuggets and Knicks icon and 10-time NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony, eight-time All-WNBA point guard Sue Bird, three-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year Dwight Howard and four-time WNBA champion Maya Moore.
The group of finalists was whittled from a list of 95 nominees that were announced in mid-December. Nominees are sorted through six categories: North America, Women’s, Contributor, International, Women’s Veteran and Veteran.
Inductees into the Class of 2025 will be announced April 5, coinciding with the weekend of the NCAA’s men’s Final Four in San Antonio, Texas.
Now, a group of 24 voters will cast their selections to determine the shape of the class. For a finalist to get elected, they must secure a minimum of 18 affirmative votes, or a 75% majority. The group of voters consists of Hall of Famer, basketball executives and media members. Finalists are considered based on their achievements on and off the court.
The enshrinement ceremony for the Class of 2025 will take place Sept. 6 in Springfield, Massachusetts.
