HOUSTON – The James Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame announced its official list of inductees for the 2016 class and former LSU All-America and sport icon, Dr. Shaquille O'Neal is included in this year's class.
O'Neal and the remainder of the class will be inducted Sept. 8-10 at the home of the Hall, Springfield, Massachusetts.
For the 7-1 O'Neal, his three years at LSU (1989-92) proved to be some of the most entertaining in LSU basketball history because of the play of the Tigers and his engaging personalities. LSU fans saw that in its early stages before millions more discovered it during his lengthy NBA career.
