The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame is dedicated to promoting and preserving the history of the game of basketball. It boasts the Edward J. and Gena G. Hickox Library, which documents the sport as played by men and women at all levels from high school to professional, not only in the US but also internationally. The Hall of Fame's more than 285 inductees include the game's most prominent figures, such as college coaching legend and player John Wooden, professional players Wilt Chamberlain and Julius "Dr. J" Erving, and the inventor of the game, James Naismith, for whom the Hall of Fame is named.
