FAYETTEVILLE — Former Arkansas and NBA center Joe Kleine has had a lot of honors during and after his career and Wednesday added another one.
Kleine, a 7-foot center who played for Arkansas from 1982-85 and was the sixth overall pick in the 1985 NBA draft by the Sacramento Kings, was recently announced as one of nine new members of the Southwest Conference Hall of Fame.
He and the other new members will be formally inducted during a luncheon Sept. 26 at the Fort Worth Downtown Hotel. The Southwest Conference Hall of Fame is located inside the Texas Sports Hall of Fame in Waco.
