A.C. Green, known for playing  in more consecutive games than any other player in the NBA and dedicated youth advocate, was inducted into the World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame as a part of the Class of 2001, which included Olympic speedskater Johan Olav Kloss and tennis great Andrea Jaeger.

A.C. Green played 17 seasons in the NBA for the Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns, Dallas Mavericks, and Miami Heat. Green won three NBA Championships while with the Lakers, but his most famous accomplishment is his incredible 1,192 streak of straight games played in the course of 15 years. The streak remains the longest in professional basketball history.

Green founded A.C. Green Youth Foundation, an organization intended to educate young people morally, mentally, and physically.  It aims to serve youth and the communities in which they live by providing information about important social issues.
