Former NBA stars and Olympic gold medalists Carmelo Anthony and Dwight Howard could become members of the new class of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, which will be announced on April 5.
The 17 finalists announced on Friday include a team Anthony and Howard played for—the 2008 U.S. Olympic gold-medal winners known as the “Redeem Team” that came back and won it all after the 2004 team took bronze. Anthony played for six different NBA teams and made 10 All-Star teams. A 2020 NBA champion, Howard played for seven different squads amid eight All-Star appearances and five All-NBA first team awards.
