The Spanish Basketball Hall of Fame () is a hall of fame that honours individuals (or whole teams) that has contributed to the spread and improvement of Spanish basketball, through their sporting contributions, their behaviour and their actions in support of the game in Italy.
The Spanish Basketball Federation has presented a class of inductees every year since 2019 (counting for the previous year) with an official ceremony that crowns athletes (male and female), coaches, referees or other figureheads who have contributed to Spanish basketball.
History The HoF was created in 2019 by the Spanish Basketball Federation, in collaboration with the newspaper AS. The objective aimed to pay recognition, individually or collectively, to the most outstanding protagonists in the history of Spanish basketball.
The first gala was held on October 21, 2021, at the Cartuja stadium in the city of Seville, and the members of the 2019 class were announced: eight players, three coaches, a referee, a club, a manager, two journalists, a team and a city. In 2023, players who never played in the Spanish basketball were also inducted: Predrag Danilovic and Dirk Nowitzki.
Members The individuals incucted to the Hall of Fame include players, coaches, referees, clubs and other contributors.
