The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame has announced the addition of four new SuperFans to its James F. Goldstein SuperFam Gallery. The names announced are well-known.
The new names to the wing announced are:
Billy Crystal. The comedic actor and Saturday Night Live alumni has long been associated with sports, having competed on ABC’s Battle of the Network Stars, directing the HBO biopic on Roger Maris (*61), and playing an NBA referee in the film, “Forget Paris.” Crystal is an avid fan of the Los Angeles Clippers.
Alan Horwitz. Horwitz is a Philadelphia-based businessman who founded Campus Apartments. He is known in Philly for his Sixers fandom which has at times been controversial, though nevertheless passionate.
Spike Lee. A mega fan of the New York Knicks, the famed director has been a fixture at Knicks games for years and has appeared in multiple basketball-related commercials. Lee was also prominent in the ESPN 30-for-30 episode on the famed Pacers/Knicks playoff series.
Jack Nicholson. The Academy Award-winning actor has been associated with the Los Angeles Lakers since the 70s, where he was always courtside. His fandom became infectious in Hollywood and helped make the Lakers the “it” team of its day.
This will happen as part of the SuperFan Celebration on October 13.
