Today, the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame announced that Dick Barnett will be inducted with the Class of 2024. This is a long-overdue recognition for a leader on and off the court. It was my honor to welcome him and his Tennessee A&I teammates to the White House this week.
The Tennessee A&I Tigers broke barriers on the court while fighting injustice off it. In 1957, they became the first HBCU to win a national championship before becoming the first team to win three in a row. It was my honor to welcome them to the White House for the first time.
Via an out of nowhere announcement by Clyde himself live on the broadcast, Knicks legend Dick Barnett has been inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame! Shoutout @RealEarlMonroe who Walt said gave him the inside scoop.
Clyde says on the broadcast that Dick Barnett's been elected to the Hall of Fame HUGE if true: -Member of the 1st HBCU team to win a national title -And the 2nd (MVP) -And the 3rd (MVP) -5 NBA Finals -1970 Champion Knicks -1973 Champion Knicks -#12 retired by Knicks
Fall back baby! Dick Barnett elected to NBA HOF, according to his old backcourt partner, Clyde Frazier #knicks

@RealEarlMonroe @Ericdrath Amen, Earl. I encourage everyone, incl @Hoophall voters, to watch the award-winning documentary @DreamWhispFilm, which is playing on @PBS stations nationwide throughout February and it's available for free viewing here on the #PBS App. pbs.org/show/the-dream…
Eric Drath ‘93GS’s documentary “The Dream Whisperer” to air on PBS for Black History Month. bit.ly/48aXixA
Brunson has 20 30 point games before the allstar break which is the most most in franchise history.....Bernard King and Dick Barnett previously had the record.....Bernard King is at the game tonight as well
Dick Barnett made it his mission to get the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame to induct his college basketball team as the first historically Black college to win a national championship. A D.C. filmmaker chronicled this inspiring story. wtop.com/entertainment/…
That Dick Barnett’s decades-long struggle to get his college team recognized by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame would find its way into Eric Drath’s creative wheelhouse had to be one of the sport’s all-time most difficult jumpers. pennlive.com/sports/2024/02…

The 1957-1959 Tennessee A&I are at the White House to be honored for the first three peat of a national tournament in college basketball.
Today, the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame announced that Dick Barnett will be inducted with the Class of 2024. This is a long-overdue recognition for a leader on and off the court. It was my honor to welcome him and his Tennessee A&I teammates to the White House this week.
@VP They won the NCAA College Division Championship consecutively in 1957, 1958, and 1959, becoming the first team to achieve this three-year streak in the tournament's history. They broke barriers of racial segregation and inequality, showcasing the talent and strength of Black…
@VP It's truly remarkable how the Tennessee A&I Tigers made history both on the court and in the fight against injustice. Welcoming them to the White House for the first time must have been a meaningful and symbolic moment. Their legacy continues to inspire generations.

Dick Barnett to the Basketball Hall of Fame, per Clyde Frazier on the broadcast. Not sure if he was supposed to share that one just yet.
This just makes a great week even better. Dick Barnett taught two classes I took at St. John’s as a sophomore. A Hall of Fame player and a Hall of Fame person. Fall back, baby.
Clyde Frazier just broke the news on the air that former Knicks teammate Dick Barnett is going to be announced as a Hall of Famer this weekend.
