Let's try to answer grids 6 and 9 for Monday's NBA HoopGrids: which former players for the Denver Nuggets and Utah Jazz have been inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame?

Alex English was the greatest player in Nuggets history before Nikola Jokic possibly surpassed him last season after winning the franchise's first NBA championship. English played 11 seasons in Denver, and the Nuggets retired his No. 2 jersey. He got into the Hall of Fame in 1997.

Meanwhile, Karl Malone and John Stockton are two of the greatest players in Jazz franchise history. Malone and Stockton led Utah to NBA Finals in 1997 and 1998 but failed short because of Michael Jordan and the Bulls. They were inducted into the Hall of Fame as players and members of the Dream Team.
