Basketball Hall of Fame 2017: Start time, TV channel, live stream, and inductees for enshrinement ceremony

The 2017 Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame induction ceremony will take place on Friday, Sept. 8 at Springfield Symphony Hall in Springfield, Mass. NBA TV will broadcast the red carpet ceremony at 6:30 p.m. ET. with the induction ceremony set for 8 p.m.

Tracy McGrady, Bill Self, Jerry Krause, Rebecca Lobo, Muffet McGraw, Robert Hughes, Tom Jernstedt, Mannie Jackson, Zack Clayton, Nikos Galis, and George McGinnis are being enshrined as the Class of 2017.

The new class of hoops icons joins a long list of basketball greats.

Last year, Allen Iverson, Yao Ming, Shaquille O’Neal, Sheryl Swoopes, Tom Izzo, Jerry Reinsdorf, Cumberland Posey, Zelmo Beaty, Darell Garretson and John McLendon made the class of 2016. That induction became one of the most entertaining in history, with O’Neal turning his speech into a roast session of everyone else, Iverson holding back tears during an emotional thank you speech, and Reinsdorf’s undying love for the sport of basketball.

With McGrady’s strong personality and a bevy of basketball greats, this year’s class is sure to give last year’s a run for its money. Here’s how to watch the Hall of Fame induction ceremony:
