Former San Antonio Spurs star David Robinson; college basketball's all-time winningest coach, Pat Summitt; and four-time Olympic gold medalist Teresa Edwards head up a group that will be enshrined into the FIBA Hall of Fame on June 19.

The total group to be honored is six former players, three coaches, two technical officials and a contributor. The enshrinement ceremony will be at the House of Basketball — FIBA's headquarters on the outskirts of Geneva.

Others to go in are Jean-Jacques Conceiçao of Angola, Australia's Andrew Gaze, Paula Gonçalves of Brazil, Serbia's Zoran Slavnic, the late John 'Jack' Donohue of Canada and Italy's Cesare Rubini.

The group combines for 14 Olympic and eight FIBA World Championship medals.

Technical officials Valentin Lazarov of Bulgaria and Costas Rigas of Greece along with contributor Aldo Vitale of Italy round out the list inductees.

"The 2013 Class of the FIBA Hall of Fame is truly a special one," said FIBA secretary general and International Olympic Committee member Patrick Baumann. "These are great personalities who have experienced great success on and off the court, but who also stand out for the character they have shown and for the countless efforts they have made to help promote our sport.
