Former Spurs assistant coach Ettore Messina headlines the FIBA Hall of Fame Class of 2021 alongside Dream Team head coach Chuck Daly and famed Greek point guard Panagiotis Giannakis.
The FIBA Hall of Fame will honor the Class of 2020 and 2021 in a virtual ceremony on June 18, after the former had their enshrinement delayed a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Messina was an assistant on Gregg Popovich’s coaching staff from 2014 to 2019 but built his world-renowned reputation as a EuroLeague legend with Virtus Bologna and CSKA Moscow.
