Lucky 4 people! They were not eligible for the Hall of Fame, but they successfully entered the Hall of Fame with an Olympic gold medal.

In this year's offseason, the annual Naismith Hall of Fame Festival was also held. Compared with the stars in the past few sessions, the players selected this year are still quite influential, led by Cameron Anthony and Dwight Howard. And what is more historically significant is that the Dream Eight Team, which completed the redemption at the Beijing Olympics, was also recognized by experts and was inducted into the Hall of Fame. This time, the admission of the four members also fulfilled the dream, because if it weren't for the Dream Eighth Team, they basically had no possibility of being admitted to the Hall of Fame. Let's take a look at who these four players are!

Dron Williams

Career data: 16.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 8.1 assists

First of all, let's talk about Deron. He and Chris Paul were once a "stand-glowing" existence, and with his outstanding physical talent, he once suppressed Paul and was nicknamed "eat, sleep, and hit Paul" by fans. Delong's initial career height is incomparable to Paul. After all, in the second year of his career, he had already helped the Jazz reach the Western Conference Finals, and for many consecutive seasons, he was able to send data close to 20+4+10, making him one of the top point guards in the NBA.

However, since the conflict broke out with the old coach Jerry Sloan and was sent to the Nets, his career began to decline. The frequent injuries forced him to change his playing style and his role positioning gradually became marginalized. Even so, he was selected into the All-Star lineup three times and entered the Best Second Team twice. He also followed the Dream Team to compete in the Olympics and won two Olympic gold medals. If it weren't for the injury, Delong would have been inducted into the Hall of Fame with his personal abilities. After all, he also contributed 16.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 8.1 assists throughout his NBA career. And at the peak of 33 years old, he has reached the point where no one cares about it, which is very sad.

Carlos Boozer

Career data: 16.2 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists

With solid low-post scoring ability and skillful pick-and-roll cooperation with Deron, Boozer was also selected for the dream team list of the Beijing Olympics that year. Domestic fans are very familiar with Boozer. In those playoff matches with the Rockets, Boozer repeatedly punished the Rockets' power forward at low posts, which also made fans hate him. At that time, Boozer was one of the No. 4 spots in the league. He could output 21.1 points, 10.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists in the 2007-08 season, and his selection was also worth it.

Moreover, during his NBA competition, he also had an All-Star resume twice and was selected into the All-Series Team once. However, it is still quite difficult to be selected for these honors. Boozer has serious credibility problems. He directly betrayed the Cavaliers and signed a big contract with the Jazz, which was also marked as a "reverse boy", so he was very lucky to be selected. Otherwise, with his ability, it would be difficult for him to enter the Hall of Fame in this life.

Michael Reed

Career data: 19 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists

As the team's elder brother when Yi Jianlian entered the NBA, Reed was also an inspiring representative. When he entered the NBA as a second round pick, he quickly gained the appreciation of the Bucks with his superb scorer. Especially after he could contribute 21.7 points, 5 rebounds and 2.3 assists in the 2003-04 season, the team directly sent Ray Allen to the Supersonics and began to build the team with Reed as the core. At his peak, Reed had excellent scoring ability, averaging 26.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game, and had 8 three-pointers in a single quarter, and scored 57 points in a single game.

However, he has very few honors, only one All-Star lineup and one All-Neuro. Moreover, his selection for Dream Eight team also has the taste of finding a bargain. After all, the Big Three of the Celtics who won the championship that year, Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, all refused to be recruited, so his selection was also full of luck.

Techelon Prince

Career data: 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists

Finally, let's talk about the most low-key and the only player in this Dream Team who has not been selected into the All-Star lineup. He is Prince of the Pistons. Throughout his NBA career, Prince was a player with "engineering attributes". Although his role in the game was monotonous, it was very important. He kept using empty passes to help score on the offensive end, and the defensive end was the gate of defense. In the finals, he was only in the second grade, so he perfectly restricted Kobe Bryant, successfully helped the team win the championship, and since then he became famous.

The entire NBA career, except for one championship ring, Prince's remaining four best defensive second team. The meaning of coach K selected him into the Dream Team is also very clear, that is, to limit the outside arrows of each team as much as possible. Facts have also proved that Prince is worth it. Many stars including Kobe, Jason Kidd, and LeBron James praised Prince's performance. This time, following the Dream Team was inducted into the Hall of Fame, which is undoubtedly the greatest recognition of him.
