OT: Jordan, Robinson, Stockton elected to Hall of Fame

[Minstrel]

Jordan was elected to the Class of 2009 on Monday with Robinson and Stockton. Utah Jazz coach Jerry Sloan and Rutgers women's coach C. Vivian Stringer are also part of a class announced in Detroit, site of the men's Final Four.

Induction is Sept. 10-12 in Springfield, Mass., home of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

"I don't like being up here for the Hall of Fame because at that time your basketball career is completely over," Jordan said. "I was hoping this day would be 20 more years, or actually go in when I'm dead and gone."

Seemed worth noting.

It's a fucking travesty that Jordan is in the hall of fame when Jason Jennings isn't.

If a coach can get in while still active - so should players. It's an irony that there is a Ha in Hall, but Ha is not!

Jordan was a stat-stuffer who happened to win because he was on a great team, with Pippen and Phil Jackson.

Plus, he was a cancer...fist fights with Steve Kerr and such.

Jordan...perimeter Zach Randolph.
