SPRINGFIELD, Mass. -- The basketball Hall of Fame is changing the name of its showcase atrium to honour Jerry Colangelo. Center Court at the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame will now be named for the former Phoenix Suns general manager. Colangelo is chairman of the halls board of directors and the head of USA Basketball who was the architect of the American victories in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics. Also Thursday, the hall announced that Wayne Embry will receive the Chairmans Cup. Embry had an 11-year career in the NBA before becoming the leagues first black general manager. The honours were announced Thursday, a day before the annual induction ceremony. This years inductees include Reggie Miller, Don Nelson, Ralph Sampson and Nike co-founder Phil Knight. wholesale nfl jerseys . Theyre hoping he will be all right.

Perry won an NHL MVP award, Getzlaf became the Ducks captain, and they raised the Stanley Cup together. With unrestricted free agency looming for both forwards this summer, they dont know whether theyre heading into their final few months together. No matter what happens, theyve both got ample motivation to do something remarkable in the Ducks shortened season. Yet Perry and Getzlaf expressed no concern about their contract status when the Ducks opened training camp Sunday. Theyre determined to stay focused on fixing the Ducks, who missed the post-season for the second time in three years last spring. "Obviously, I dont have a time frame on it, but wed like to get something done if we can," Getzlaf said. "If both parties are wanting to do that, then itll get done." Anaheim general manager Bob Murray opened camp by affirming his strong desire to re-sign Perry, the goal-scoring member of the tandem, and Getzlaf, the Ducks top playmaker. Anaheim drafted the forwards together in the first round in 2003 and nurtured their emergence as international stars, with both winning gold medals for Canada at the Vancouver Olympics. "Its my top priority," Murray said. "Theyve been Anaheim Ducks from the start. I love those guys. Theyre winners, and Im going to do everything in my power to sign them." But Murray realizes both sides must make tough decisions before a deal is done. While Getzlaf and Perry decide whether theyre willing to risk personal upheaval by waiting for unrestricted free agency, the Ducks must figure out how much theyre willing to spend on two 27-year-old forwards with top-level talent and disappointing recent results. Perry won the MVP award in 2011 with 98 points and a league-best 50 goals, but his production slumped to 37 goals and 60 points last season. Getzlaf struggled with injuries during part of Perrys MVP campaign, and he returned last season with 57 points and a career-low 11 goals in the worst full season of his NHL career. Yet even those declining numbers probably wouldnt stop somebody from signing both players to huge contracts. The Ducks arent eager to risk losing two of their most valuable properties: Both forwards representatives are scheduled to visit Murraay in Anaheim in the near future for contract talks.dddddddddddd "Theres no time frame," Perry said. "Whatever happens, happens. Im not going to be thinking about it. Its not going to be in the front of my mind. I have a job here to do first, and thats to go out and play hockey and help this team win." Perry and Getzlaf progressed through the Ducks system together and joined the big-league club during the 2005-06 system, winning a Stanley Cup in 2007 while skating with Dustin Penner on the Ducks "Kid Line." Getzlaf and Perry have since become the faces of the franchise along with Teemu Selanne, but the Ducks have won just one playoff round in five seasons since their Stanley Cup triumph, upsetting top-seeded San Jose in 2009. Although Getzlaf and Perry are inextricably linked, they dont do everything together. They dont share an agent, yet the forwards got nearly identical five-year contracts five seasons ago, with Getzlaf agreeing to his $26.6 million deal a few months before Perry. Getzlaf appears to be just as eager as Murray to make a deal. The centre lives in Orange County year-round, and his wife recently gave birth to their second child. "I like the direction of the team," Getzlaf said. "Ive had several meetings with Bob, and hes made me aware of his plans, and the way things are supposed to go down. Theres going to be minor adjustments to all of it, but Id like to be a big part of it." Bobby Ryan also appears to be comfortable back with the Ducks after his name surfaced in innumerable trade rumours last season, culminating in Ryans request to be dealt shortly before last summers draft. And with promising youngsters Kyle Palmieri, Nick Bonino, Devante Smith-Pelly and Emerson Etem angling for playing time this winter, the franchise could see a future beyond the veterans who grew up with the Ducks -- but only if Getzlaf and Perry prove tough to re-sign. "Ive been through it once already with the contract stuff during the season, and I let my agent and Bob take care of most of that," Getzlaf said. "Im not really involved for the most part. Ive had a few meetings with Bob already before this thing gets going, just knowing the direction of the team and everything he wants to do. The rest of it will take care of itself. Ive just got to go out and play my game." ' ' '
