Bird, Fowles, Moore Headline 2025 Naismith Hall of Fame Class

Carmelo Anthony and Dwight Howard have been announced as members of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2025, alongside the 2008 U.S. Olympic men's basketball team, known as the 'Redeem Team.' They will be joined by WNBA legends Sue Bird, Maya Moore, and Sylvia Fowles, all of whom are being inducted after their impactful careers. The enshrinement ceremony will take place on September 5-6 at the Mohegan Sun in Connecticut and the Hall of Fame in Massachusetts. Bird, Fowles, and Moore are celebrated not just for their individual achievements but also for their contributions to the growth of women's basketball. Bird, the all-time leader in WNBA assists, and Fowles, a two-time Finals MVP, both had their jersey numbers retired by their respective teams. This year's class reflects a historic moment for basketball, recognizing both men's and women's contributions to the sport.
