#tbt to my visit to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
Just outside the Massachusetts/Connecticut border, HoopHall is home to artifacts of the greatest to play the game of basketball.
It threw me off that it was inside a mall lol.
The Hall of Fame is in dire need of a redesign. The concept is dated, and is not as interactive as it could be. Many of the player bios either have typos; for those that have died, the bios have yet to be updated. It is also cluttered. Museums have so many artifacts; it’s impossible to display everything, but artifacts that are displayed have to flow and tell a story. Outside of the chronological order of inductees, the history felt meshed. Those who only recognize jerseys from the 80s onward may only focus on that era because the previous 100 years are in one or two rooms.
In a perfect world, the Hall of Fame would buy out the entire building, move the rest of the mall out, and organize it into sections: Inductees; International History and Global Growth of the Game; Media; Front Office; Early Years; College; ABA; NBA (use decades as subsections); WNBA. This will give a broader perspective on the world’s second most-popular sport.
Think of it this way: this is the headquarters of basketball history. It needs to be presented better. Basketball and the city of Springfield would benefit from it a lot more greatly from a redesign.
Congratulations Yao Ming! Yao Ming will be inducted into the @HoopHall tonight (7:30p/et @nbatv)! #16HoopClass @nba #theslaymagazine #heslays #manslay #sexyslay #basketball #sports #yaoming #nba #slaysports #hoophall #nbatv @charlynichole
