The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame stands out from other sports halls because it selects outstanding basketball performers without delay. In contrast to many other sports that build large lists of late deserving athletes, basketball’s top institution quickly admits NBA legends when they become eligible. Most NBA players, hall-of-famers make it into the exhibit on the day they qualify, which is called first ballot entry.
