On May 9, 1991, Hearn became the third broadcaster to win the Gowdy Award from the [[Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame]] in [[Springfield, Massachusetts]]. He later became the first broadcaster inducted into the Hall in 2003.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hoophall.com/hall-of-famers/tag/francis-d-chic-hearn|title=The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame – Hall of Famers|work=hoophall.com|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090831073354/http://www.hoophall.com/hall-of-famers/tag/francis-d-chic-hearn|archive-date=2009-08-31}}</ref> In 1995, he was voted to be the 20th member of the American Sportscaster Hall of Fame by his fellow sportscasters. He was inducted by the [[NSSA Hall of Fame|National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association Hall of Fame]] in 1997.

In honor of his contributions to the Los Angeles Lakers, both the Lakers and the city of Los Angeles renamed a portion of West 11th Street between Figueroa Street and Georgia Street (now [[L.A. Live]] Way) to Chick Hearn Court. This street currently runs alongside [[Crypto.com Arena]]'s main entrance. The [[Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority]] further honored the broadcaster by changing the name of the nearby [[A Line (Los Angeles Metro)|A]] and [[E Line (Los Angeles Metro)|E]] line station to "[[Pico station|Pico/Chick Hearn]]". His name was later hung from the rafters of the Staples Center, alongside the retired numbers of past Lakers players, though with a microphone in place of a number.

Hearn also has a star on the [[Hollywood Walk of Fame]], in radio. Hearn's star is located at 6755 Hollywood Blvd.

On April 27, 2010, Hearn was honored with a [[Statue of Chick Hearn|bronze statue]] at [[Staples Center#Star Plaza|Star Plaza]] outside Staples Center.<ref name=statue>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/los-angeles/nba/news/story?id=5120506|title=Los Angeles Lakers unveil Chick Hearn statue at Staples Center|work=ESPN.com|date=21 April 2010 |publisher=[[ESPN]]}}</ref> A chair next to Hearn's statue behind the desk with the Lakers' logo is a part of the statue so his fans can sit down to have their pictures taken.
