Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame

Despite recent divisions, Springfield's city council unanimously called for the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame to keep one of its biggest high school basketball showcases in the city.

The mayor of Springfield, Massachusetts, says he's concerned and disappointed with the Basketball Hall of Fame following reports that its leadership put out feelers for moving a major high school basketball showcase out of the city.

Springfield, Massachusetts welcomed basketball royalty over the weekend as the city and the Hall of Fame further commemorated the sport’s birthplace on “World Basketball Day.”

It’s enshrinement weekend in Springfield, Massachusetts, as the Basketball Hall of Fame inducts a new class of basketball stars. It’s also opening weekend for the local hockey team – so expect a crowded downtown, officials say.
