Michael Jordan Elected to Basketball Hall of Fame

Posted Apr 6, 2009
Michael Jordan is in the basketball Hall of Fame. He was elected to the class of 2009 Monday with David Robinson, John Stockton, Utah Jazz coach Jerry Sloan and Rutgers women's coach C. Vivian Stringer. Jordan's Hall of Fame selection was a slam dunk after he retired as perhaps the greatest player in history. And he gave much of the credit Monday to his college coach, Dean Smith.
