Like Chuck Daly, Detlef Schrempf and Steve Nash in 2021, or Yao Ming last year, the FIBA Hall of Fame will welcome a new crop of legends within it, during a ceremony which will take place next September , in Singapore.
Seven players and one coach will be honored for their careers on the international stage, including at club level, with Reggie Miller and Pedrag “Peja” Stojakovic leading the list.
Former NBA All-Stars, Reggie Miller and Peja Stojakovic also shone on the international scene, with two gold medals, at the 1996 Olympic Games and the 1994 World Cup for the American sniper, and two gold medals, at the 2002 World Cup and EuroBasket 2001 for the Serbian.
The Latvian three-time world champion and five-time European champion, Skaidrite Smildzina-Budovska, the Chinese Miao Lijie, the Croatian Danira Nakic-Bilic, the New Zealander Kirk Penney and the Central African Romain Sato complete the 2024 class.
Among the coaches, it is the American coach, Dan Peterson, European champion with Milan in the 1980s, who will also enter the Pantheon of international basketball.
