Basketball Hall of Fame; who is eligible in 2025, 2026 and 2027
The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame welcome its latest inductees, with former NBA stars Vince Carter and Chauncey Billups headlining the 13-member class. The class of 2024 also includes Los Angeles Lakers legends Jerry West and Michael Cooper. West will become the first person inducted three times, with his latest election coming as a contributor to the game.
**********
The 2025 group of inductees will be announced in April at the NCAA Division I Final Four in San Antonio.

Newly eligible in 2025
None
The best player who retired from the NBA after 2020-21 was Marc Gasol, although he continued to play in Spain for the club he founded, Basquet Girona, until this January. The Hall hasn't been consistent in terms of how it has handled such appearances in terms of the timeline for eligibility, but I don't think Gasol will be on the ballot until 2028. His brother Pau Gasol was inducted in 2023. New Lakers head coach JJ Redick is the next-best candidate. Without an All-Star appearance or a title, Redick's candidacy would rely heavily on his accomplishments as a college player at Duke.
