Ice Cube‘s fight for respect within the sports world has swung in his favor, as the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame has honored the BIG3 founder with its inaugural Impact Award, which will also be named after Cube.

In an announcement made on Tuesday (Nov. 14), the award will honor the Hip-Hop icon’s “extraordinary contributions to the world of basketball, his unparalleled passion for the game and his unwavering commitment to encouraging crucial dialogues surrounding inclusivity, equal opportunity, and racial and social justice while contributing to initiatives focused on education and community development.”

Cube also voiced his appreciation for the Hall of Fame’s gesture. “The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame Award named in my honor is truly remarkable, and words alone can’t express my gratitude for this recognition from such a prestigious organization,” the 54-year-old expressed.

Doleva, President and CEO of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.

“His sphere of influence in both the entertainment industry and in the professional sports arena brings remarkable authenticity and value to this award,” Doleva continued. “We are delighted to join hands with Ice Cube as he leverages his love of the game to inspire others. The Ice Cube Impact Award will stand as a testament to the power of basketball and the profound impact it can have on communities worldwide.”
