The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, as it typically does during NBA All-Star weekend, has released the ballot of nominations for its Class of 2025. Players, coaches, referees and contributors are all considered for the Hall of Fame. Several of the most notable were highlighted on the Basketball Hall of Fame's Twitter page on Friday:

George Blaha, Clark Kellogg, Michelle Smith and Adrian Wojnarowski named recipients of Basketball Hall of Fame’s 2025 Curt Gowdy Media Award.

Both Anthony and Dwight Howard are finalists as individuals — and for their roles on the 2008 U.S. Olympic team that won gold at the Beijing Games.
