Former NBA Commissioner, the late David Stern will be posthumously inducted into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame next year in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Stern played a huge role in helping to launch the WNBA in 1997. Val Ackerman, who was the first president of the WNBA says, “He brilliantly married women’s basketball with NBA capabilities, a sound business plan and a marketer’s touch, and his vision produced a league that remains a beacon for women in the sports world.
The class also includes three former WNBA stars Tamika Catchings, Swin Cash and Lauren Jackson.
