List of players in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame

The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, located in Springfield, Massachusetts, honors players who have shown exceptional skill at basketball, all-time great coaches, referees, and other major contributors to the sport. It is named after Dr. James Naismith, who conceived the sport in 1891; he was inducted into the Hall as a contributor in 1959.[1] The Player category has existed since the beginning of the Hall of Fame. For a person to be inducted to the Naismith Hall as a player, they must be "fully retired for five years". If a player retired for a short period of time, then "his/her case and eligibility is reviewed on an individual basis".[2]

As part of the inaugural class of 1959, four players were inducted; 146 players more have been inducted since, with the most recent class entering on August 12, 2011.[3] Three players have also been inducted as coaches: John Wooden in 1973, Bill Sharman in 2004, and Lenny Wilkens in 2004.

Of the inducted players, 24 were also members of teams that have been inducted into the Hall as units.
