Lindsay Whalen has taken another step towards the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.
Announced as a first-time nominee in December, Whalen was named a finalist for the class of 2022 on Friday. The induction class will be announced on April 2 at the men's Final Four.
"It's something you dream of," Whalen said. "It's a lifetime deal. It's like the Olympics, one of those things you can only dream of growing up in your backyard, playing in your driveway.''
