Per the principles, a participant should wait till 4 years after retirement to be eligible for induction. As I used to be researching numerous draft courses, I discovered an attention-grabbing factoid.
Manu Ginobili is the one member of the 1999 NBA Draft class to be inducted into the Corridor of Fame. Different members of his draft class included the 2000 Co-Rookies of the 12 months Elton Model and Steve Francis in addition to All-Stars Baron Davis, Wally Szczerbiak, Richard Hamilton, Shawn Marion, Ron Artest and Andrei Kirlenko.
Ginobili was drafted 57th. Of the fifty-eight draftees, twelve by no means even stepped onto the hardwood for an NBA crew.

Only a reminder that Manu was a hidden gem who shined most when given the total clearance to be himself. He was a novel expertise and his spirit lifted the crew. The one NBA crew for which he suited up was the San Antonio Spurs. We have been lucky to draft him and that felt at a house in San Antonio, chasing to remain even after retirement.
