Yao Ming is being discussed as a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame as a contributor as early as 2012. My question is are you ok with that?
Contributors are added to the Hall of Fame in most classes. Some that have been inducted (in no order):
Dick Vitale: for commentary and bringing attention to basketball
Jerry Buss: owns the Lakers and WNBA's Sparks and has won a ton of championships as owner
Meadowlark Lemon: played for the Globetrotters for nearly 30 years and was known as the Clown Prince of Basketball.
Abraham Saperstein: owner/coach of the Globetrotters
All former NBA Commissioners
Yao would (most likely) go in for spreading basketball and the popularity of the game to China.
Is this something that works for you? Are there any issues you have with this? Are you ok with it?
