Hall of Fame finalists: Malone, Pippen, Dream Team

27 minutes ago

DALLAS (AP)â€”Two-time NBA MVP Karl Malone, six-time champion Scottie Pippen, and two of the great U.S. Olympic champions are finalists for the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame.

The 1992 Dream Team, which Malone and Pippen played on along with superstars such as Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, is a finalist in the team category. Also up for induction is the 1960 gold medalists, a team led by Hall of Famers Jerry West and Oscar Robertson that won its games in Rome by 42.4 points per game.

â€œIt was great to play with Larry, Michael and all the guys after all those years,â€ Johnson said at the press conference. â€œThey said thereâ€™s no way we could play together. They underestimated us from the beginning. We didnâ€™t care who scored the points or got their name in the paper. All we cared about was bringing the gold back to the U.S.â€

The 19 finalists were announced Friday at the start of the NBAâ€™s All-Star weekend. The class of 2010 will be announced on April 5 in Indianapolis before the NCAA championship game.

Last year Jordan and Stockton. This year Malone and Pippen? That would be cool if this happened.
