Congrats, coach on this huge honor. Man I missed you on the booth working with some of the all-time greats like Marv Albert, Kevin Harlan, Mike Breen and Bob Costas among others.
A great co-commentator, coach, etc. He along with Hubie Brown were great co-commentators of the NBA (Doug was the man for NBC for four years and TNT for a long time).
This is a hall of fame speech. Well deserved but should have been way sooner. I always loved hearing him commentate. I’ll never forget what he said in Kobe’s early days, “The key to the game is deception. Once Kobe learns that, he’ll be phenomenal.”
I never liked Doug as a coach because he seemed a little too high and too low. Not steady like Phil was. And I thought he was too hard on Scottie and Horace. But.. I still repsected him because you could tell how competitive he was and how he wanted to win. But as an announcer with all the pressure of winning off he was enjoyable to listen too and enlightening. And when the Bulls drafted Scottie and Horace in that memorable 87 draft he straight up compared Scottie to Magic and I said damn. And he also sang Horace's praises. And I got super excited. And he was right. And we know what followed. And I'll always be grateful for that.
Always thought hed be elected as a player. But the category he was elected for might be even more appropriate for him. Hes had quite a basketball life.😊
As a rookie with the 76ers , in rookie camp - Ray Lewis destroyed Doug Collins . It was a event to see the 2nd round pick beat the 1st pick in the draft every practice, Raymond Lewis got "Blackballed from the NBA - Or he would be here today and not Doug
I'm shocked Doug didn't have MJ as his presenter, i thought they were super close as he hand picked DC to coach his Wizards stint and they went back to the earky Chicago Bulls days 🤷🏾♂️

If Doug Collins was black, I'd bet dudes woulda been saying Phil Jackson inherited a championship roster from him like how black dudes say Steve Kerr inherited a championship roster from Mark Jackson. lmao
*Why are you concerned with what black people think? Aren’t y’all 🧔🏼♂️👈🏿 the majority? Doug wasn’t winning anything! Point, Blink, PERIOD! Doug’s idea of coaching was “Give the ball to Michael 🐐 and get the @“) out of the way” ~ Phil was willing to apply Tex Winters Triangle offense and won 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 six titles because of it. Doug wasn’t willing to allow Tex’s offense. It’s just that simple. Jackson’s REAL REASON for being fired had nothing to do with his coaching but he made comments about the Alphabet community. Had Jackson not made those comments he would have led the Warriors dynasty instead of Kerr. Two different situations but you’re concerned about us.* 🤦🏾♂️

Basketball is lucky to have you Doug Collins. What a HOF speech… great story teller.
He's a great commentator as well
A great player, coach and broadcaster. Well deserved Doug, your contribution to basketball will love on forever. Congratulations!!
@@Tarmac76 you're insanely deranged
where was Michael Jordan? nowhere to be found. like kamala harris. fake as F
What i always loved about Doug Collins, he always wore his emotions on his sleeve. He always seemed genuine too.
Doug was the best commentator whose insight of the game was topnotch.

Doug collins is a legend! Hearing him call a game back in the day was always great and insightful
another wonderful player......veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy underrated.
Why did it take so long for this man to be inducted?
Politics.
@@edjeoranje4865 he shouldn't have been in at all, y'all whites will support any random white dude being in, crazy works
He never won in the playoffs as a Coach. However, he was already in the Hall of Fame as a player
Seriously. It is a shame or a gross oversight why it took so long.
@@sethmorgan833 100%
Congrats to Coach Collins. That's who i grew up on i knowing he was a great commentator and player in his day
He could play too. Fearless competitor. Good coach as well. Knows the game well.
A legend in his own right
freaking legend
Should`ve been in a long time ago, Well deserved and congratulations.
🎉 CONGRATULATIONS, PLAYER, COACH❤❤
Doug Collins was my favorite player when he played for the 76ers.
Congrats !!!💚🙌🏽
Well deserved. Nice speech!
Is ahmad Rashad in the hof? He needs to be in some way
After Jordan retire the NBA put him away and the only time we see him is for the Hall of Fame Ceremony.
@@55giantsfan22 hell tf no he doesn't, we don't need 🦝s being in there
@@Mdksupreme1 wtf does that even mean?
He deserve it to be in both Basketball and Pro Football Hall Of Fame as a broadcaster.
amazing speech
Congrat Couch!🎉🎉
Love Doug… great coach under a young MJ..
Very well deserved 👏🏾
He and Hubie are the best commentators of all time imo

gives accolades to one son but nothing about the other ? every family has it's favorites i guess
"I got Michael, Oak, Pax i don't know what else" if I'm one of the what else I'm sinking in my chair 😅😅
Lol this guys speech was so long the teleprompter in the room literally said “WRAP NOW!!!”
How does Doug Collins get inducted and ROBERT HORRY A 7 TIME CHAMPION ISNT.?
Nice player -was at the right place at the right time -7 times
You seem to forget all the players Horry played with. If not for them he'd likely not have any rings.
I'm shocked Doug didn't have MJ as his presenter, i thought they were super close as he hand picked DC to coach his Wizards stint and they went back to the earky Chicago Bulls days 🤷🏾♂️
I think MJ doesn't like to steal thunder from most. Reality is if Jordan does it becomes all about him.
Damn he sounds the same
🔥🔥🔥🔥
💯🤝🏾💯

The nba official channel has of bot comments🔥🔥
I noticed that too
He talked entirely too long. I thought you had ten minutes to make your speech?🤷♂️
lol I thought I was the only one.
Let him cook
Nope! Certain players or people get time. Shaq was over 30 mins. Vince Carter was 30 mins. Same with the Kobe one.
If Doug Collins was black, I'd bet dudes woulda been saying Phil Jackson inherited a championship roster from him like how black dudes say Steve Kerr inherited a championship roster from Mark Jackson. lmao
Phil did tho, DC was the first one to get Mark Jacksoned lol

Y'all will put any random white man in here, I dare y'all not to put d rose in
Dude, Doug Collins’s definitely deserves this
You know nothing about basketball and you've demonstrated that with your hate for Doug.
THIS MAN LEAD THE WAY OF A TURE NBA LIFE AND ALL IT HAS TO OFFER . RESPECT IN IT'S UPMOST FORM THE NBA HALL OF FAME
dude thats doug collins he the one who coached Michael jordan
I'm a Drose fan but you gotta chill bro, the man just retired. I'm sure he'll be at least nominated one day
Not deserving.. Decent player, average coach and a quitter - he resigned coaching the Sixers.. the epitome of a loser person
