From dazzling on the Illinois State basketball court to becoming the number one overall pick in the NBA draft, Doug Collins is now a Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer.

Over the weekend, the I-S-U product took the stage to share his memories after being enshrined into the Hall of Fame. Collins coached the Chicago Bulls for three seasons, and he coached Michael Jordan in the late 90s. In his acceptance speech, Collins talked about his time as a Redbird and growing up in Illinois.

Collins joined 12 others in the Hall of Fame class, including Chauncey Billups, Vince Carter, Jerry West, and many more. With this honor, Collins became the 15th inductee from a school in the Missouri Valley Conference, the first since 2018.
