“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

As a basketball junky and a fan of the departed Seattle Sonics since I was 12 or 13, I am very happy to see the late Dennis Johnson FINALLY get into the basketball Hall Of Fame. He should have been their already.

D.J. was a member of the 1979 World Championship here in Seattle with the Sonics. That was a great team with D.J, “Downtown” Fred Brown, “The Wizard” Gus Williams, Lonnie Shelton, Jack Sikma and “J.J.” John Johnson and the team coached my another Hall Of Famer, Lenny Wilkens.

To bad he is not hear to enjoy being elected. Also happy to see the “Mailman” Karl Malone and Scottie Pippen get in the HOF too. Some people say Malone is the best power forward in the history of the game alone with future HOF member Tim Duncan.

Cynthia Cooper was also elected. Cooper was a female BALLER!!! In my opinion she is up there with Sheryl Miller as far as great female basketball players.

Please read the above article for information on the rest of the folks elected for this years class of the Basketball HOF. Congrates to everyone!!
