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.
