gold star for USAHOF

Dikembe Mutombo now #1 on our Basketball List



We here at Notinhalloffame.com are very pleased to unveil this year’s version of the Basketball List.  This is for those who should be considered for the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts.  This particular Hall, does not just focus on the Professional game, but encompasses the College, International and the Women’s game. 

On our last list, our number three and number nine ranked players, Alonzo Mourning and Tim Richmond were chosen for the Class of 2014, as well as our number ninety-eight player, Guy Rodgers was also chosen as a direct elect Veterans Committee Candidate.  As such, there are three openings on our top one hundred which have been of course filled.

Our top ten has gone through a bit of an overhaul.  Chris Webber, who was our number one choice for our 2014 List, does not return to the top spot, though will be ranked at number two.  Webber was not chosen as a Finalist this year by the voting committee for the Basketball Hall of Fame, though his statistics reflect that he should have been.  His omission is likely due to the sanctions that occurred at Michigan from his acceptance of financial aid from boosters.

Our new number one player is Dikembe Mutombo who is entering his first year of eligibility.  The African born player was the NBA Defensive Player of the Year four times, and played in the NBA All Star Game eight times.  As mentioned, Webber slides down to number two, and Spencer Haywood is at number three.  Haywood was also a Finalist for the Hall of Fame last year, and was informed erroneously that he was chosen two years ago.

The top ten rounds out with Jack Sikma (four), Sidney Moncreif (five), Mark Aguire (six), Buck Williams (seven), Max Zaslovski (eight), Bob Dandridge (nine) and Shawn Kemp (ten).  At the tail end of the top one hundred, previous list entries, Anthony Mason and Dale Davis return at ninety-nine and one hundred respectively.

As always, we encourage all of you to cast your votes and give an opinion.  Rankings are always affected but what we hear from all of you!
