Karl Malone and Scottie Pippen, superstar forwards who were part of dominating tandems that helped define the NBA in the 1990s, head the list of candidates for the 2010 class of the Basketball Hall of Fame.

Among the other candidates, Warriors coach Don Nelson and former players Chris Mullin, Jamaal Wilkes and Bernard King should receive serious consideration along with Rodman and Jackson. The Nelson outcome will be particularly interesting. Nelson may pass Lenny Wilkens for No. 1 on the career coaching win list this season but, based on his two previous years as a finalist, may fall short in the secret election.

Dennis Johnson, Rudy Tomjanovich, Rick Pitino, Jerry Reinsdorf, Terry Cummings, Jerry Buss, Sarunas Marciulionis (with an extensive international background), Al Attles, Muggsy Bogues, Ralph Sampson (on the strength of a great college career), Tex Winter, current referee Dick Bavetta and former referee Darell Garretson are among the other nominees with strong NBA ties. Jim Valvano is a candidate from the college field and decorated coach Bobby Hurley Sr. from the high school ranks. Oscar Schmidt is an international candidate after five Olympics as a Brazilian scoring machine best known in the United States for his 46 points in the gold-medal victory in the 1987 Pan-American Games against an American squad with college stars David Robinson, Danny Manning and Pervis Ellison.
