The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame announced its 2019 inductees Saturday at the Final Four in Minneapolis.

Leading the way are two of the most tenacious defenders of the 1970s and ’80s, Sidney Moncrief and Bobby Jones. They're joined by Jack Sikma, a seven-time All-Star and Paul Westphal, a five-time All-Star who later enjoyed a lengthy coaching career in the NBA and college ranks.

Other inductees are Al Attles, Carl Braun, Chuck Cooper, Vlade Divac, Bill Fitch, and Teresa Weatherspoon. The new members will be inducted into the hall in Springfield, Massachusetts, on Sept. 7.

Among players who didn't make the cut are Chris Webber, Ben Wallace, Marques Johnson and Tim Hardaway.

Here's a look at the new hall of fame members.
