Congratulations to Knicks legend Dick Barnett on his induction to the Basketball Hall of Fame.

[NEW YORK KNICKS @nyknicks]

Congrats to Knick legend, Dr. Dick Barnett, on this incredible achievement!

[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

Today, the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame announced that Dick Barnett will be inducted with the Class of 2024.

This is a long-overdue recognition for a leader on and off the court. It was my honor to welcome him and his Tennessee A&I teammates to the White House this week.

[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

The Tennessee A&I Tigers broke barriers on the court while fighting injustice off it.

In 1957, they became the first HBCU to win a national championship before becoming the first team to win three in a row.

It was my honor to welcome them to the White House for the first time.
