	There is no NBA Hall of Fame. It's the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, and it routinely shafts deserving NBA players in favor of random women's college b-ball coaches.

	Samsonite:	May 18th, 2009 at 18:30 GMT		5 points
	Should probably change the title of the quiz to Basketball Hall of Fame. Although I don't know why you leave in foreign players and coaches, including college coaches but remove women like Cheryl Miller and Carol Blazejowski.

	Samsonite:	May 18th, 2009 at 18:37 GMT		1 point
	Yeah, saw Wooden and forgot he was inducted as a player. But still, he was honored as a college player.

	sub:	May 18th, 2009 at 18:41 GMT		2 points
	For reference: http://www.hoophall.com/halloffamers/bhof-halloffamers-year.html

	Ok fixed to add womens players that were enshrined... left them out before because I thought the quiz would be too long, but there are only about 8-10 of them.. so they are added.. coaches, contributors, teams and owners arae all left out otherwise this quiz would be way to long.

Comment below threshold: show it

	john19:	May 18th, 2009 at 19:00 GMT		1 point
	And it lists Marques Haynes, but not Meadowlark Lemon

	bbf2:	May 18th, 2009 at 19:09 GMT		1 point
	I'm sorry, but I take issue with the description of this quiz. This is NOT the NBA-only hall of time, its the overall basketball hall of fame. He's not worthy of being included, but O'Bannon had a phenomenal college basketball career before crippling injuries and lack of a true position derailed any possible NBA career. You should have made fun of a bust who never succeeded at basketball at any level, like Kwame Brown or Michael Olowakandi.

	sammyhain2364:	May 18th, 2009 at 19:25 GMT		4 points
	Pretty sad when such players like Chet Walker, Spencer Haywood and George McInnis haven't been given their due as of yet by the HOF.

	pbrown:	May 18th, 2009 at 19:29 GMT		3 points
	Is there a game like this, except for coaches?

	Arthur:	May 18th, 2009 at 19:34 GMT		7 points
	How did more people get William Johnson than Magic Johnson? Interesting. Anyway, I suggest you make another one for coaches. Good quiz though. I was surprised that Michael Jordan only got inducted this year, but I guess he was still active until like five or six years ago.

	Hortencia, the Queen of Brazilian Basketball. I knew there was a Brazilian at this HOF, but I didn't knew who is. Might Oscar Schmidt appear soon there

	yanks08701:	May 18th, 2009 at 20:36 GMT		2 points
	Gallatin is the least answered because it supposed to have two l's

	DerKomissar:	May 18th, 2009 at 21:21 GMT		5 points
	Why no '07 inductions?

	quiztaker:	May 18th, 2009 at 21:46 GMT		4 points
	I would favor adding coaches or at least giving them their own quiz.

	CraigR:	May 18th, 2009 at 23:43 GMT		2 points
	tough quiz... i thought pat summitt was just inducted?

	drn211:	May 19th, 2009 at 02:45 GMT		4 points
	@Craig Summitt went in as a coach this quiz is players only

	MetaphysicalMan:	May 19th, 2009 at 05:30 GMT		4 points
	Proof that William Johnson is the third greatest basketball player ever.

	ArtVandaley:	May 19th, 2009 at 13:20 GMT		2 points
	I think that cline should be accepted for nancy lieberman.

	What are all these women doing on here when there are bathrooms to be cleaned and shirts to be ironed?

	Wow, I didn't know Joan Crawford played basketball. I wonder if she ever tore down the hanging rim and used it to hit her daughter.

	you forgot Luisa Harris(-Stewart)

	Eagle3:	Sep 14th, 2009 at 00:41 GMT		1 point
	Knew DeBusschere, but couldnt spell it.Otherwise got 41/139.

	Lowboy:	Dec 11th, 2009 at 00:00 GMT		1 point
	Like everything else, the Basketball HOF is very political. Deserving players not inducted while others have no business in the Hall.

	kevin_tapani:	Dec 31st, 2009 at 07:55 GMT		1 point
	I think people have just been typing in last names to save time, thus it was easier to get William Johnson and Charles Murphy.

	yankeespurs101:	Feb 13th, 2010 at 20:25 GMT		1 point
	Hey you should add the 2010 inductees like Karl Malone and Scottie Pippen . It was introduced yesterday

	skinnyd:	Feb 18th, 2010 at 03:35 GMT		1 point
	they were nominated but the final annoucement hasn't been made yet

	How in the world did I forget McAdoo? I'm gonna go hang myself now...

	burywmore:	Jun 27th, 2010 at 07:04 GMT		2 points
	More proof,if any was needed, that the basketball hall of fame is the worst major sports HOF out there. Good quiz though.

	edkool7:	Aug 25th, 2010 at 01:06 GMT		3 points
	you're missing the entire 2010 induction class

	wfredmason:	Dec 10th, 2010 at 23:35 GMT		6 points
	Cooper should give you Cynthia Cooper too. No reason to accept the hyphenated name that she didn't even take until after she retired.

	sunsfan99:	Jan 31st, 2011 at 22:36 GMT		0 points
	i feel smart i got 116

	Grizman43:	Feb 2nd, 2011 at 06:14 GMT		2 points
	Couldn't spell Lovellete, Debusschere, and just typed in Cooper. Should have had three more.

	pancakes188:	Feb 17th, 2011 at 03:56 GMT		4 points
	Agree with wfredmason about Cooper counting. Never played under a married name.

	JakeA:	Apr 7th, 2011 at 05:28 GMT		4 points
	Yeah, I was just going to say just allow Cooper. No one knew her as Cooper-Dyke

	amwoods13:	Jul 10th, 2011 at 14:15 GMT		1 point
	Is there some reason why commonly used nicknames or shortened first names are listed for some players but not others? There are a couple of players known as Bob but Robert is listed (though you then list Bob for a few other players) and a Billy but William is listed. But then you do list Rick (real name Richard) and one Dave (instead of David). There seems to be no consistency as to how you list the first name.

	Dennis Rodman and Artis Gilmore got inducted this today.
