Wow. I cried as she got escorted by a basketball icon and recognizing that she truly is herself!

[darrellmccall]

Excellent public balance is incredible. Quietly, this is one of the best acceptance speeches in hall history IMHO.

[bobbymoss]

LMAO Coach Mulkey made Jordan blush on that stage. Hilarious.

[jamesbarnes]

Old enough to have seen her play and coach. One fierce competetor in both roles. And too have had all her players graduate, says a whole lot about how great she really was! Congrats coach!

Kim, I cannot tell you at how much your brief, focused and humble speech inspired me. As a native of Louisiana living elsewhere, I am always proud and amazed at how god has blessed so many people form our tiny state to be recognized globally. Thank you for ensuring that your student athletes graduate. i', glad that you are at LSU. I rooted for you over Utah last night. Congratulations on your Hall of fame induction.

Coach Kim is the classiest person on this planet. We all are blessed by her caring for everyone and especially her players! As an LSU fan we are so thankful she's now our Coach and look how she continues to impress us ALL!

[KrazyKajun]

I went to Louisiana Tech and was there when she played. She was a great ball player but even better person. I went to multiple games and she was just a player that gave 150% on the floor. She brough and expected the players around her to play at her level. She brought everyone's game to a new level. You deserve this and more Kim. Love you being at LSU now.

[Eric-prlu]

She is an incredible coach and person. I loved watching her play at La. Tech. Also, just as beautiful as always. Congratulations and God bless you Kim.

[rickbaker]

Wow, that speech was incredible. I didn’t realize that she was such a great coach player, but more important than that what a wonderful, caring human being she is. thank you for posting this.🙏🏻

[SuperBlobsterMan]

I looked at her playing when she was young and than i looked I Jordan literally being submissive to her. Jordan is not submissive to anyone. She is an incredible person and she has touched many more than just Jordan.
