This year, the 2023 MBA Hall of Fame will be sponsored by the Paramount Veterans Network. The ceremony will take place on May 26, 2023, in Wichita, Kansas. The event will be made available on demand on Pluto TV post-Memorial Day weekend.
“Paramount VetNet is proud to sponsor the MBA Hall of Fame. MBA created a platform where service members and veterans can come together to not only play basketball, but simultaneously work on their mental wellness and create a sense of family that is rarely created outside of the military. MBA’s mission of ‘Life through Basketball’ aligns with Paramount VetNet’s four pillars: Appreciation, Resiliency, Action, and Impact. What an amazing opportunity to highlight outstanding individuals who served our country and served on the Basketball court. We salute you! Congratulations,” says Betty Diaz, Head of Programs & Operations for Paramount Veterans Network.
