Past simple

We didn't just matters that you get through it all right?

To-infinitive

The class of 2020 I want to remind everyone still hasn't even officially been inducted, of course, because of the pandemic.

But here's a quick reminder of who they are.

We got some Kobe, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Tamika Catchings, Rudy Tomjanovich, Eddie Sutton and more iconic baby.

Paul, This is your era basketball teammates.

What does this Hall of Fame 2020 class mean to you?

No, I mean, you talk about goat after goat after goat after goat.

I mean, I've never seen a class this brilliant.

And we already know about Duncan and Kevin.

Listen, we played the McDonald's game, and everybody was wondering, Where's Kevin going to college, everybody.

I was going to Kansas small Berries, going to Georgia Tech.

And then I was like, I'm going to the league and I was like, You can do that.

It's like, yeah, when you're 6 ft 11 and you got bounced and you got all the skills, I think the to make a catching for me, you know, watching her, you know, play and watching how she dominated.

And then I just had a conversation with, uh, Elena Della Donne.

And she was saying the hardest person that she ever had to play against was Tamika Catchings.

And you're sitting here watching the great today pay homage to the people that came before them.

And so she said Tamika Catchings was the first person that made her have to go lift weights have to go do extra work.

What she did in her career and the impact that she had is still being felt today.

That's why it's like when you see Tamika and you hear the other players in the w N B.

A talk about her, you know that she belongs on that list right next to all of the other grapes from the from the NBA.

Tamika Catchings was money, and and I wish her career had come a little later because you'd be hearing about her all the time.

Just like just like the old NBA players, the old college women's players.

There just wasn't enough attention paid to them so that people don't can't appreciate how stupendous they truly were.

I think what's different about this class, Rachel.

It's probably one of the smaller Hall of Fame classes you'll ever see.

But to Paul's point, those three probably the greatest class ever.

And I think it was smart of the Hall, honestly, to keep keep it small for two reasons.

And, of course, the tragic death of Kobe just highlights this even more so to give those three guys there do.

But also maybe you know, the smaller class.

So someone comes on the next year and get their do without being overshadowed by those three great Hall of Famers that we all have watched.

Well, it will be quite the entrainment ceremony that's coming up in May, and I gotta tell you I'm still so happy sitting here for Paul.

Wait until the actual Hall of Famers for next year are announced as well.

Thank you so much, Jackie, for joining us and and confirming that the whole fame exists, which I really appreciate.

Thanks for watching ESPN on YouTube for live streaming sports and premium content.
