When Steph and Dray and Klay (and KD?) get their statues at Chase Center, will there also be one of Livingston, West, and Igoudala as the Three Wise Men?
Watched the rest of Game 2 2015 WCF. So many great moments in a real nail biter. But my favorite was in the final seconds, Curry and Klay double teaming Harden, taking the ball from him, and ending the game. Down by 1 and Harden could not even get a shot up. Splash brothers turn into Defensive Tidal Wave Twins!
For me this induction ceremony is kind of like when a cousin you’re not close to gets married in Baltimore. You’re happy for them and all, but it’s not worth the time and expense of flying across the country, staying in a Baltimore hotel for two nights and then flying back, so you buy them a nice gift, tell them how sorry you are that you can’t be there to celebrate with them and call it a day.

Well that's embarrassing, I'm the lone DLee naysayer specifically quoted in the article!
Haha, it's all good. Congrats to DLee on being named an HWFL! Even the Papal Conclave comes with a devil's advocate.
Next step: we need a DNHQer who is good at Wikipedia editing to go in to all of these players' Wikipedia pages and start adding HWFL under career accomplishments and awards.
I always loved David West's energy. He comes off as a take no shit old school dude but it's not just brainless macho "I'm going to punch you in your face because I played in the old NBA" bullcrap either. I would love to see him come back one day as a player's coach.
I saw a few questions about whether other players have been polled. The top of every HWFL article and the sidebar of this site has a link to the Master List of HWFL polls, with links to the player articles that polled or inducted them.
David Lee is a HWFL with 84% vote and Raja Bell was not polled.
Congrats inductees. Well deserved. Your names will echo down the Hall of Champions. How loudly has more to do with the acoustics of the building, but you will be remembered.
If Poole goes on to form Poole & The Gang, does that mean we are witnessing SC and The Sunshine Band?

“You cant take it with you… the Egyptians learned that”
Didn’t the (ancient) Egyptians believe you COULD take it with you? This has always been my thought when I hear West say this. I’m confused.

Anyone know where Lee and West are registered?
Y'all wish me luck, my squad is playing in the finals for the Venice League! Kind of worried since their girl is absolutely saucy .

As long as we’re talking David West and DLee … whither David Lee?
Congrats indeed to West and Lee. While memories of DLee’s contributions are fresh, it sure was sweet to watch some of West’s highlights. What a stud.
Loved that interview with West. Who were the two media guys?
