Featuring former greats from all 12 SEC member institutions, the 2002 class of the Chick-fil-A Southeastern Conference Basketball Legends will be honored during this year's SEC Men's Basketball Tournament in Atlanta, Ga.

"We are again excited about this program and of Chick-fil-A’s continuing support of SEC basketball," SEC Commissioner Roy Kramer said. "Honoring these former standouts gives the conference the opportunity to thank those who helped establish the rich basketball tradition in our conference."

Each Chick-fil-A SEC Basketball Legend will be recognized at halftime of his institution's first game at the tournament. The legends will also be honored as a group during pregame festivities before the first semifinal game on Saturday, March 9 at 1:00 p.m. ET.

Highlighting the schedule of events at the Dr Pepper SEC Fan Fare will be appearances by the legends on the Chick-fil-A Press Box Stage. Complimentary posters of the legends will be available in the autograph area near the press box stage. FanFare will be open Thursday-Saturday, March 7-9 at the Georgia World Congress Center.

This marks the fourth year of the basketball legends program. Last year's group included T.R. Dunn, Alabama; Joe Kleine, Arkansas; Coach Sonny Smith, Auburn; Andy Owens, Florida; Zippy Morocco, Georgia; Wallace Jones, Kentucky; Joe Dean, LSU; Denver Brackeen, Ole Miss; W.D. Stroud, Mississippi State; John Roche, South Carolina; Ernie Grunfeld, Tennessee; and Charles Davis, Vanderbilt.
