Ten players and coaches will be enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame on Friday. Who are they?

A five-time All-Star, Mullin was inducted last season as part of the 1992 US Olympic Dream Team. He also won a gold medal at the 1984 Olympics.

Mullin followed a decorated college career at St. John's by scoring more than 17,000 points in the NBA. The New York city product recalled his hometown in his speech, saying ''Brooklyn's definitely in the house tonight.''

Dennis Rodman was the other headliner in the 10-person class, arriving Friday night in a gray suit with a feather-lined cowboy hat and giant white sunglasses.
