SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Former Sonics guard Ray Allen, Steve Nash, Jason Kidd and Grant Hill are among the 13-member class that will be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in September.
The Hall of Fame made the announcement Saturday before the NCAA Final Four semifinals.
The inductees also include former Storm forward Tina Thompson, former Storm guard Katie Smith, coach Lefty Driesell, Charlie Scott, longtime executive Rick Welts, NBA executive Rod Thorn, Maurice Cheeks, the late Ora Mae Washington and Croatian star Dino Radja.
Allen played four and a half seasons with the Sonics. He averaged 18.9 points per game over his 18-year career. His best season came with Seattle. In the 2006-07 season, he put up a career high 26.4 points per game.
The 42-year-old still holds the NBA record for 3-pointers shot and made. Allen was named to 10 All-Star games.
Nash and Kidd were two of the greatest point guards of their generation. Nash is a two-time NBA Most Valuable Player and eight-time All-Sta. Kidd earned 10 All-Star selections.
Hill won two NCAA titles at Duke and seven NBA All-Star selections. Allen is the most prolific 3-point shooter in NBA history and a two-time league champion.
