Basketball Hall of Fame to auction plaques for Michael Jordan, others


BOSTON -- The basketball Hall of Fame is auctioning off the actual plaques used to mark the enshrinement of some of the sport's biggest stars, including Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Julius Erving.

The plaques for sale are the original 25-inch by 28-inch, black and white portraits displayed along the hall's domed ceiling for each inductee. They are being replaced as part of a $30 million renovation because the dome ran out of room for additional inductees with the class of 2018.
