Former Boston Celtics big man Shaquille O’Neal on being inducted into the FIBA Hall of Fame

Few fans of the Boston Celtics since the time iconic big man Shaquille O’Neal played on the team do not know the LSU alumnus is in the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame.

But that is not the only Hall of Fame Shaq has been inducted into. His play internationally was enough to get him the nod into the FIBA Hall of Fame as well.

“I am extremely honored to be inducted into the FIBA Hall of Fame. Representing the United States was such an honor,” said O’Neal of his induction.

“Being on the winning World Cup title team with the Dream Team II in 1994 and winning the Olympic gold medal in 1996 were two of the biggest achievements of my career.”

Take a look at the video embedded below to see the Big Aristotle in action in the international play that got him into yet another Hall of Fame.
