more than a few hours before the entry of the artists, look at everything you need to know

Take out the suits, buy a tie and tighten the belt, the 2021 edition of the Hall of Fame is just around the corner. The opportunity for us to see old faces that made us vibrate so much through the screen, sometimes even provoking the awakening of parents who had then understood nothing about what a cons of Ben Wallace could cause in a emotional person. Preview of an evening, which promises to be memorable.

By now, Paul Pierce must be typing series of push-ups, just to land congested at the party and to be able to claim to be sharper than any winger in history. We don’t know him personally, but Chris Bosh has this head to make himself a breakfast / quinoa bathrobe by reading Femme Actuelle, just to relieve stress. And if Chris Webber talks chick with his son before dropping him off in the evening, it’s been three hours since Ben Wallace kicked in a sandbag. Sandbag in which Toni Kukoc hides, scared since a fool thought it funny to tell him that “Scottie and Michael would be there like in 92”. Finally, to each his own way of killing time, while waiting for this evening to stop it.

# But, what is the Hall of Fame?

Every year since 1959, the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame has honored the biggest names in its sport in a ceremony that will pass them on to posterity. Players who have retired for at least three years, coaches, referees, managers and journalists are likely to be appointed by the Hall of Fame committee to join the International Basketball Hall of Fame. They are then awarded a beautiful orange jacket, a collector’s jersey and a big American-style bagouze.

# Where, when and how to follow the Hall of Fame ceremony?

Lucky that we are, the Bein Sports team is covering the event with an antenna connection from 1:00 am on beIN Max 4.

We also meet on Twitter to react live to the speeches that each year, reserve us their lots of teasers and anecdotes of all kinds.
