FORMER Indiana Pacers superstar Reggie Miller and coaching great Don Nelson were among those inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts, on Friday.
Miller, one of the greatest clutch scorers in National Basketball Association history, played his entire 17-season career with the Pacers and finished it with 25,279 points and 1,505 steals. The five-time NBA All-Star ranks second on the NBA all-time list for three-pointers made, with 2,560, and his 320 playoff three-pointers are the most for any player in the postseason.
Nelson, who was a finalist for the Hall of Fame for the fifth time, has more than 1,300 NBA victories and is one of only two coaches to be named NBA Coach of the Year three times.
The class of 2012 also included Ralph Sampson, a three-time collegiate national player of the year; Jamaal Wilkes; two-time Olympic gold medalist Katrina McClain, longtime referee Hank Nichols; and former Soviet women's coach Lidia Alexeeva.
