25, China Basketball Association announced the list of nominations for 30 people in in 2022. This Hall of Fame selection will focus on long-term plans such as strengthening the construction of Chinese basketball culture, establishing Chinese basketball culture confidence, and improving the Chinese basketball honor system.
The systematic project of establishing the Chinese Basketball Hall of Fame is, in the view of Chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, Yao Ming , the original intention is to "seek the roots". "Any career needs to know where you come from, who you are, and where we will go in the future."
The list of 30 people announced this time was produced after the recommendation of 100 relevant units in the basketball field of the "Nomination Committee" and the independent assertion of Deloitte. If you look closely at the list, you will find that most of them are players and coaches who became famous after the 1980s, and some respected senior Chinese basketball veterans failed to get nominated.
"This shows the necessity and urgency of the construction of the Hall of Fame. Many basketball legends and wonderful history have been destroyed in the 127-year history of Chinese basketball due to lack of records and inheritance." said Xu Jicheng, one of the heads of the Chinese Basketball Hall of Fame Committee, , said.
Xu Jicheng recalled some campus basketball activities he participated in in the past. The students were not very familiar with the Chinese basketball celebrities from the 1960s and 1970s who came to the event site. "They didn't know that the legend was right in front of them."
searching for roots is to further strengthen the foundation. Because of this, , the Chinese Basketball Hall of Fame in 2022, has established a "Special Tribute Figure" and recommended 15 Chinese basketball seniors to enter the hall directly. At the same time, the "Fifty Heroes of New China Basketball Sports" were recommended as a collective entry.
"As more historical materials are discovered and confirmed, the history of Chinese basketball will be displayed more completely and vividly, bringing confidence and motivation to contemporary Chinese basketball. As a title, the 50 Masters of New China Basketball has become a symbol of honor for Chinese basketball and has been remembered and spread. The members of the 50 Masters of the 50 Masters will continue to participate in this year and future Hall of Fame recommendation activities as individuals." Xu Jicheng said.
Zhang Boling , Dong Shouyi, Song Junfu , Shuhong , Tang Baokun , Mou Zuoyun... The Chinese Basketball Association hopes to spread the stories of these celebrities through the construction of the China Basketball Hall of Fame, the compilation of the "China Basketball General Journal", the construction of the Chinese basketball database, and the oral history interviews of Chinese basketball celebrities.
"This is the foundation and confidence of Chinese basketball, and it is also a 'gas station' in the process of further promoting Chinese basketball and moving to a high level in the world." Xu Jicheng said, "The construction of the Hall of Fame will play an example for the popularization and promotion of Chinese basketball, especially promoting the development of youth basketball, and is a kind of inheritance of the history of Chinese basketball struggle."
Under the promotion of several generations of Chinese basketball people, the construction of the Chinese Basketball Hall of Fame is being steadily promoted, and as an activity with selection attributes, it naturally requires a lot of effort in credibility.
According to relevant information released by the Chinese Basketball Association, after the nomination list is announced, the "Referral Committee" composed of 500 basketball people will start the recommendation work in the next stage. The personnel of the "referral committee" cover multiple basketball fields such as active athletes, retired athletes, coaches, referees, media people. Each recommendation committee member will fill in the recommendation form from the nomination list and submit it to Deloitte Company. The second phase of the 16-person recommendation list will be generated through Deloitte Company statistics. After that, the final review committee finally approved 10 members from the elected list.
"We hope more basketball people will participate in the Hall of Fame activities, and the election committee members will take into account broadness, authority and professionalism. The scale of each Hall of Fame selection after this session will be controlled at 5 to 10 people, and the admission series will be diversified. Referees, special contributors, pioneers, etc. will be added to the basis of athletes and coaches." Xu Jicheng said.
