Nowitzki, Parker, Gasol, Wade are Hall of Famers

Three European players got enlisted in the Basketball Hall of Fame – Dirk Nowitzki, Tony Parker, and Pau Gasol.

During the event, German flags were seen when the ex-Dallas Mavericks superstar walked the red carpet into Symphony Hall for the event.

The support for the ex-San Antonio Spurs superstar Parker was also enormous; even the guard joked that there are many French people in town, and that’s why this is happening.

Gasol also called his national team “mi familia” before getting together with the others, as some described it as the best class to join the Hall of Fame altogether.
