Days before the 2023-24 NBA Season is set to begin, it will have to do so without Andre Iguodala, who announced his retirement. Taken ninth overall in the 2004 by the Philadelphia 76ers, Iguodala had a good run there, where he was an All-Star in 2011-12, and had a four-year streak where he averaged at least 17 Points per Game. After his All-Star year, Iguodala was traded to Denver, and a season after he was dealt to Golden State, where he had his greatest team success. After his second season with the Warriors, Iguodala was moved to the bench, but…

Regular visitors of Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL and MLB. Once that is done, we intend to look at how each team honor their past players, coaches and executives. As such, it is important to us that the St. Louis Blues have announced that Pavol Demetria, Mike Liut and Keith Tkachuk will comprise their second full class. Pavol Demetria was traded from the Ottawa Senators in 1996 and the Slovak would blossom two years later with an 89-Point season. Demetria continued to be a point-per-game…

Which Las Vegas Aces saw their Hall of Fame chances increase?
Oct 19, 2023
Written by
Committee Chairman
The Las Vegas Aces are a special team, having just won their second straight championship, and could be a squad that has a chance to be a WNBA dynasty. Whenever a title is won, it naturally helps key players make their respective Halls of Fame, and this win could help bring five women closer to Springfield. Despite not winning what would have been her third MVP (she finished third) A’Ja Wilson is the team’s star, leader, and arguably the new face of the league. She has only played six seasons, but the Basketball Hall does not have any minimum level…

Committee Chairman
Today, the Philadelphia Eagles signed Julio Jones to a one-year deal, and if he plays in a game, should extend his year of eligibility for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Currently 16th overall in Receiving Yards, if Jones is only 270 Yards away from vaulting into 13th, which would move him past Cris Carter, Anquan Boldin and Henry Ellard. …

RIP: Dick Butkus

Written by
Committee Chairman
We lost a legend today Chicago Bears icon, Dick Butkus, passed away today at the age of 80. A beast at the University of Illinois, Dick Butkus was a two-time All-American who won the Big Ten MVP in 1963. Butkus stayed close to home as a pro, as he was taken with the third overall pick in 1965. Chicago was not a powerhouse when Butkus played, but he was the reason to pay attention to the team. One of the most punishing tacklers in football history, offensive skill players were quaking with the knowledge that they could be on the…
