"We are very honored to announce the illustrious 2015 Class of the FIBA Hall of Fame. These nine individuals are great personalities who have experienced tremendous success on and off the court. Just as important, they also stand out for the character they have displayed and the countless efforts they have made to help promote our sport. We look forward to honoring them." FIBA President Horacio Muratore is quoted by FIBA.com.
Jordan may be the most famous among this bunch, but as stated by FIBA these inductees have a total of 20 Olympic and FIBA medals between them.
