The Chicago Bulls made sure to celebrate Billy Donovan's induction into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.

Donovan received the news earlier this weekend, earning a selection as a first-ballot Hall of Famer in the Class of 2025. He won two national championships in college basketball with the Florida Gators in 2006 and 2007 before taking his talents to the NBA in 2015. Notable NBA names on the list include Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard, and Miami Heat owner Micky Arison.

The full list got their recognition at the NCAA Final Four in San Antonio. However, the Bulls had their idea of honoring their head coach.

Ahead of the team's matchup against the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday, they surprised Donovan with a water shower, celebrating his accomplishment with plenty of excitement.
