As we prepare for the NBA Finals, it is time to look back at the former UTEP players who have worn either Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors uniforms.
After being a finalist six times, former UTEP point guard Tim Hardaway will be enshrined into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2022.
Boston Celtics' Paul Pierce, LA Lakers' Michael Cooper and 11-time NBA All-Star Chris Bosh lead a list of 14 finalists for the Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2021.
Gary Payton, who became an All-American at Oregon State, an NBA All Star, and Basketball Hall of Famer, wanted to sign with Don Haskins and the UTEP Miners.
In addition to the reairing of the special Don Haskins Hour each day at 6 p.m. during SportsTalk, 600 ESPN El Paso is putting each episode on podcast channels—Apple, Google Play, you name it! Now, the Don Haskins Hour will be available to download and stream on Spotify.
Despite finishing third in fan voting, Nate 'Tiny' Archibald has a strong case to be the greatest basketball player in the history of the TWC/UTEP program.
