Fans waved a German flag and chanted Dirk Nowitzki’s name when he walked the red carpet into Symphony Hall for the Basketball Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony.
Dirk Nowitzki greets fans as he arrives on the red carpet for his enshrinement at the Basketball Hall of Fame on Saturday, Aug. 12, 2023, in Springfield, Mass. – Dirk Nowitzki, Tony Parker and Pau Gasol brought a European flavor to the Basketball Hall of Fame enshrinement.
Spain was well-represented, too, with Gasol shouting out his national team — “mi familia” — before joining what may be the greatest international class of inductees in the Springfield shrine’s history. “I was 12," Gasol said."It changed my life. The Dream Team showed us how basketball could be played.”
The inductees received their Hall of Fame rings and jackets on Friday at a news conference, which Hammon missed because the Aces had a game in Las Vegas that night.
