2nd Annual McLendon Hall of Fame Reception a Special Night for all

Orlando, Fla. - It's only fitting that the mastermind behind the fast break, a once revolutionary idea that has since changed the face of basketball, was openly honored and adored Friday night by some of the most remarkable revolutionaries in the world of sports at the 2nd Annual Hall of Fame Induction Reception which bears his name. John McLendon meant so much to so many people, and the evening was as much of a celebration of his pioneering efforts and inventive ideas on the hardwood as a descendent of Mr. Naismith as it was a celebration of the accomplishments of the men and women seated on the dais being recognized for their McLendon-like attributes that allowed them to have the impact they were able to have on their respective sports.
