The 2024 vintage of Hall of Fame is officially known. In accordance with the first information revealed this week, the identity of the personalities who will join the Basketball Pantheon this year, on August 17, has been confirmed this Saturday.

For his part, Jerry West is elected for the third time, a new record, but this time for his contribution to the game.
Also part of the cast: Walter Davis (Rookie of the Year, All-Star), Dick Barnett (NBA champion, All-Star), Bo Ryan (NCAA, Wisconsin) and Seimone Augustus (WNBA). Finally, Doug Collins (All-Star, coach, commentator) and Herb Simon (owner of the Pacers) are also elected for the way in which they contributed to the game.
See you on August 17 for the ceremony
As a reminder, the election process for the “Naismith Memorial Basketball H
all of Fame” is complex. This is organized into four committees: a “North America” committee, a “Women” committee, an “International” committee and a “Veterans” committee.
While the “Women”, “International” and “Veterans” committees can only propose two names each, the “North America” committee can propose, on its own, up to ten names. They are then transmitted to an honorary committee composed of 24 members, who then vote for each name submitted to it.
To be inducted, a player must obtain at least 18 votes, out of the 24 of the honorary committee. Condition fulfilled by Vince Carter, Chauncey Billups, Michael Cooper, Jerry West or even Walter Davis, therefore.
