Kim Mulkey Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Speech

[@44Greeny]

Great player and coach and a special lady

[@Kalibudz356]

I love her and what she did for the Baylor basketball

[@seanjenkins331]

I love her energy and passion on the sideline

[@dhinton1]

People can say what they want about her, and she is brash enough to tell you where you can go with your opinions ....... but Kim is a PHENOMENAL women's basketball coach. I'm STILL a lil shocked that she left Baylor for LSU ... and I still believe there is SOMETHING to her leaving Baylor that will never be said ... but her legacy is undeniable.

[@txtchjmb29]

No doubt. Very odd she left Baylor.

[@robgrant9243]

She is just a few years away from a very nice State of Louisiana retirement package when you include her years working at LaTech. Its about 2/3 of the average of your 5 highest earning years, and she gets that benefit for life. She stands to make 2+ million per year in retirement pay from the State.

[@texan2547]

Yup! She was the ish here on Baylor Campus she maid Baylor what they are today!

[@k.c.6846]

@@txtchjmb29 she’s from LA, It’s home for her. Plus a little more money didn’t hurt. LSU is a bigger stage than Baylor, it just is.

[@RaginJaytheCajun]

Welcome to Lsu and home. Let’s Geaux!

[@butchmarshall4371]

Very touching speech she gave loved it

[@jerrylanglois7892]

I'm not really a fan of women's basketball but she certainly has a charisma, a mesmerising quality about her.

[@raparooot]

One word..... CLASS.

[@prettytony1978]

Great speech congratulations on your Hall Of Fame induction well deserved.

[@abrahamjackson6019]

She looks like a former runway model instead of a fire and brimstone HOF great coach, special woman...

[@jackbache4604]

Greatest coach ever. The big twelve will miss her

[@whatsthedeal9720]

Kim is the reason I watch women’s basketball is because of her performance in the 1982 NCAA championship. She was a floor general.

[@fredbaragona995]

Touching, and fabulous speech!!!

[@otisyoungblood]

She was a product of how good Uconn was that she made her program step up to the next level that's great coaching to be the best you gotta beat the best and she did

Wait a minute, I thought this was NBA only, women are suppose to be better than a man to make it in the hall of fame. I mean they want to get paid the same right?

[@toveycen4668]

If you use your logic and standard, your mum probably won’t be worthy. Listen, everyone has a hero. And they won’t be the same person as always. Kim has contributed so much for women’s basketball. Duncan KD didn’t. For many girls, she’s the hero. It’s not about stats and popularity. Look at the bigger picture. It’s not nba HOF. It’s BASKETBALL HOF.
