@Stormtrooper what fan of team are

[@darrellmccall6100]

Excellent public speaker.........her balance is incredible. Quietly , this is one of the best acceptance speeches in hall history IMHO.

[@jamesbarnes7689]

Old enough to have seen her play and coach. One fierce competetor in both roles. And too have had all her players graduate, says a whole lot about how great she really was! Congrats coach!

[@bobbymoss6160]

LMAO Coach Mulkey made Jordan blush on that stage. Hilarious.

[@monicastock249]

Wow. I cried as she got escorted by a basketball icon and recognizing that she truly is herself!

She's an escort??

[@kennethboard7003]

Kim, I cannot tell you at how much your brief, focused and humble speech inspired me. As a native of Louisiana living elsewhere, I am always proud and amazed at how god has blessed so many people form our tiny state to be recognized globally. Thank you for ensuring that your student athletes graduate. i', glad that you are at LSU. I rooted for you over Utah last night. Congratulations on your Hall of fame induction.

[@Eric-pr2lu]

She is an incredible coach and person. I loved watching her play at La. Tech. Also, just as beautiful as always. Congratulations and God bless you Kim.

[@JihiTheMusicGeek]

Ms. Mulkey, I just went through your full resume today and I am SO SORRY I didn't know of your greatness. This... was LONG OVERDUE. 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

[@lokstatre2738]

Same bro respect to that woman for sure..I knew her just didnt know her background entirely and now I'm happy for her for her success and seems like a real dope lady fr

[@SlicedBread1219]

Baylor Womens basketball was on fire during her time there. I remember how dominate they were.

[@JihiTheMusicGeek]

[@pbayer773]

Very impressive lady 😮😮

[@believer7280]

And look at what she just did. Kim Mulkey wins.

[@rickbaker8340]

Wow, that speech was incredible. I didn’t realize that she was such a great coach player, but more important than that what a wonderful, caring human being she is. thank you for posting this.🙏🏻

[@hughramirez7463]

Coach Kim is the classiest person on this planet. We all are blessed by her caring for everyone and especially her players! As an LSU fan we are so thankful she's now our Coach and look how she continues to impress us ALL!

[@caseyguillot6319]

Championship in year 2 and more to come!!

[@KrazyKajun602]

I went to Louisiana Tech and was there when she played. She was a great ball player but even better person. I went to multiple games and she was just a player that gave 150% on the floor. She brough and expected the players around her to play at her level. She brought everyone's game to a new level. You deserve this and more Kim. Love you being at LSU now.

[@labratamber]

We are glad she is now at LSU !!!

[@SuperBlobsterMan]

I looked at her playing when she was young and than i looked I Jordan literally being submissive to her. Jordan is not submissive to anyone. She is an incredible person and she has touched many more than just Jordan.

[@KINGAMIIAMKING]

@SuperBlobsterMan You're out of your mind. Jordan was just being magnanimous and a gentleman. Michael Jordan has done more for society than any other athlete in history and has done way more for society than coach Kim Mulkey. Let me know when Kim Mulkey donates $10 million dollars to the Make-a-wish foundation. Let me know when Kim Mulkey donates $100 million dollars to combat systemic racism.

[@happyteacher7294]

I love this lady spirit. She just filled with great stories!!

Everything about her is REAL...Coach K is a players coach,I absolutely adore her.Baylor is kicking themselves, seriously. She's dressed like a dime on the court ,walks around with class .I really just love her ,I wish she was my grandma.

Yeah and she gave Iowa a green light to the final 4. Especially when she placed the smallest, shortest, unathletic player against a 6ft shooter. Heck that's like putting Jordan against pee wee Herman. No offense Pee Wee. Since that's his name I won't wear it out.

They bonded during the '84 Olympic games and maintained a friendship since then. Plus he's MJ lol who wouldn't want to be inducted by him.

[@arlichar11]

@@daweeza42 oh ok.. it makes sense when you think of it as two kids at the time .. and well yeah, but since everyone would want that . it should be a connection ..ty for info..

[@Telechontar09]

She asked her coach, but he was ill. She also didn’t want to impose on anyone, so she told the Hall to pick. Just so happened MJ was scheduled there that night and they had a connection from 84’
