Letter to my Hall of Fame boss

The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame will enshrine an incredibly impressive list of individuals when the class of 2018 officially joins basketball royalty in Springfield on Friday evening. This year’s inductees include giants of the game, from world champions in both the men’s and women’s leagues, to Olympic gold medalists and coaches who have revolutionized the sport. However, there’s one person who stands out to me both on paper and, more importantly, as a human being.
