Jason Kidd, Steve Nash reportedly Hall of Fame-bound
Jason Kidd — arguably the greatest basketball player ever at Cal — and Steve Nash — who can make the same claim among Santa Clara alums — have reportedly been told they will be part of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2018.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, citing sources, first reported the news and said Duke alum and seven-time NBA All-Star Grant Hill will also be inducted.
Kidd, who turned 45 last week, was born in San Francisco and burst into prominence when his preternatural ball-handling and passing skills guided St. Joseph Notre Dame-Alameda to back-to-back state Division I championships under coach Frank LaPorte in 1991-92.
