Reggie Miller wasn't always the biggest name in his own family. On Friday night, he was the top star in the biggest basketball Hall of Fame class in half a century.

The former UCLA and Indiana Pacers star was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass., joining sister Cheryl as the first brother-sister pair in the Springfield shrine.

It was a big night for UCLA, which also had Don Barksdale and Jamaal Wilkes in the 12-person class of 2012, and for the Indiana Pacers. Two-time ABA MVP Mel Daniels also was inducted.

Miller retired as the most prolific three-point shooter in NBA history, making 2,560 in his career for a record that stood until Ray Allen surpassed it in 2011.

Also honored were Don Nelson, the winningest coach in NBA history; three-time NCAA Player of the Year Ralph Sampson; Nike co-founder Phil Knight; the All-American Redheads, known as the female Harlem Globetrotters; seven-time NBA All-Star Chet Walker; two-time Olympic gold medalist Katrina McClain; ex- Soviet women's coach Lidia Alexeeva; and longtime NCAA referee Hank Nichols.
