The State of Mississippi is very proud of the induction of Bailey Howell into the Basketball Hall of Fame. His college career at Mississippi State University still stands as the most impressive in the school's history. He was second only to Wilt Chamberlain in the 1959 NBA draft, and he became one of the best professional players ever. Today, he is living in Starkville, MS, where he spends much of his time engaged in church-related activities. He is a wonderful role model for today's star athletes.
