Anthony and Howard were announced Saturday as members of the Class of 2025, as was the 2008 U.S. Olympic men’s basketball team that they played on — dubbed the “Redeem Team,” the one that captured gold at the Beijing Games and started a still-going run of five consecutive Olympic titles and counting for USA Basketball’s men’s program.

U.S. Olympic men's basketball team, Sylvia Fowles, Billy Donovan, Danny Crawford, and Micky Arison make up the rest of the Class of 2025.

We know Carmelo Anthony is going to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer. As he should be. Dwight Howard is going to join him. While the official announcement will not come until this weekend, ESPN’s Shams Charania broke the news that we all expected. Howard essentially confirmed the news on X.
