Jerry Buss hopefully gets in. He has done a lot not only for the Lakers, but the NBA

Tex Winter should be there already. He freakin invented the triangle offense! 10 titles won with his system. and he's been working in the NBA for like 50+ years. He had a stroke last year in the playoffs, but a few days ago he was behind the laker bench at the laker game. he came back. amazing man


and im rooting for DJ, BK and Silk Wilkes to get in.
i dont think they will, but I love all 3. Dennis Johnson probably should be in though
