It was announced back in March that former UNC legend Charlie Scott–the first black scholarship athlete in the school’s history–would be part of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2018.
On Wednesday, the Hall of Fame revealed which previous Hall-of-Famers would present this year’s class–with Scott being inducted by seven different players and coaches.
Among the group of Scott’s presenters are UNC head coach Roy Williams and two more former Tar Heels in Larry Brown and James Worthy. Also presenting Scott will be Dave Cowens, Julius Erving, Jerry Colangelo and Spencer Haywood.
The 2018 Hall-of-Fame Enshrinement Ceremony will take place on Sept. 7 at the Springfield Symphony Hall in Springfield, Massachusetts.
Other members of the Class of 2018 include: Ray Allen, Grant Hill, Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, Lefty Driesell and Maurice Cheeks.
