    Congrats to all who got in.
    Ewing was the man with the Knicks.
    Dick Vitale's great who else could make the phrase "Diaper Dandy" so popular.

    Nice list right there. Riley has rubbed me the wrong way with the past couple of seasons in Miami but he's obviously more than deserving for the Hall. I can't stand Vitale most of the time but he's a Tampa native and a solid announcer when he's not trying to put on a show. I was lucky enough to see Ewing finish out his career with the Magic and even though he wasn't as good as he was in the 90s, it was great to see a legend put on my hometown jersey.

    I am actually someone who likes it when Vitale "puts on a show". That's what makes him so great. His enthusiasm is contagious. I love it. The reason that I like his enthusiasm is because it seems so genuine. I don't think it is just a put on.

    I just think the yelling gets irritating after awhile. I like the words that are coming out, just not how they sound. There's no need to yell when you have a microphone in front of your face...

    Dick Vitale gives me a headache. Always seems to be yelling at the top of his lungs.
    He reminds me of that guy Billy Mays that does all those stupid TV commercials.
