Loved Becky's Game as soon as she 1st started playing for The NY Liberty when they were in The Garden Much Congratulations on being inducted into The Hall of Fame!!!
I hope people see this speech. I had never heard her speak before. I literally had tears in my eyes at one point. It really felt like listening to a civil rights icon at 40. I felt like I could see her battle scars. It would be cool to see her do color commentary like Walt Frazier does now. He talks about segregation and stuff on broadcast and it's always so interesting.
Congratulations Becky, as a big WNBA fan myself, I always been a fan of yours. You're a great WNBA player and a great assistant for the San Antonio Spurs. You deserve to be in the Hall of Famer
Popovich is not a man of principle, he fired Bob Hill and robbed him of his legacy and placed himself in as coach, now going into the HOF. That's not principled Becky!! Congrats tho!
An absolute legend. I remember when she became a coach for the Spurs. No surprise, based on who she is and who Pop and the Spurs are. But we were all absolutely thrilled and hopeful that the change we all hoped for could actually come one day… that women could be respected for who we are, even in sport.
it is hard to imagine that anyone but Popovich would have accepted her at the time. Not an assiduous NBA fan, I had never heard of her. She did have a remarkable career I found out. Even politics came into play when she played for Russia after refused even a tryout with the US team. She has guts.
There could be an implicit target in her comment about her parents being in Africa maybe "hunting and killing animals". Of course they were not doing that, but some famous people still do that.
Congrats Becky! You're a trailblazer and can't wait to see you as the first female NBA coach. That moment with Pop was special. He's a special human being. May God bless you both always.

The comments section here is a joke. Y'all are lame.
A lot of small 🍆 energy! Hate on it!

So lucky I got to see her play on the Stars back in the day!
That moment between Coach Hammon and Coach Pop was incredible. The mutual love and respect was so clear.
She was One of the first ballers i watched on tv
Who is this

I’m not going to pretend and act like I have any clue who this lady is and I’ve been a pretty big NBA fan for 20 years now.
The talentless boys in this comment section are embarrassing.
She fine as hell
Pop always breaking down got me man 😢
In Africa… Hunting, killing animals & taking pictures… Smh… Such an ugly stereotype & only having a single story.
So did she just admit that her parents are poachers in Africa… yikes unpleasant
she's very dedicated to the game. I hope she eventually lands the dream coaching job in the nba.
Thanks for the bright days of russian national team
Putting nobody’s into the hof
what a wonderful speech! what an inspiration
An absolute legend.

Funny 😅
I enjoyed her speech the most, she loves the Lord!!!!
Girl Power ❤😎♥️
Becky Hammond seem so cool congrats👏🏾
No way I'm missing my daughter being inducted into the hall of fame but that's just me
Need to see Becky be the full time head coach of an NBA team next..
Don't think Becky is a fan of her parents. How could they miss something like this and go hunting! WTF! 🏀🇬🇧

She says she loves Jesus….so why do you live a life of sin in an ungodly relationship?
YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO CONFORM TO CHRIST NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND
WELL SAID

She has a cross on a believes in Jesus…but is GAY🤷♂️
Would've been the first female NBA coach (of the Raptors) had she not had that incident with one of her players that got her suspended lol
