Committee Chairman
We have been expecting this day all week. Kevin Garnett of the Minnesota Timberwolves announced his retirement over his Instagram page. This will conclude a productive 21 Year Career in which the big man Farragut Academy would cement a legacy as one of the most intense and defensive minded players of all time. Garnett came into the NBA as the first high school player in twenty years and while many were concerned that a player out of high school could not make the jump to the NBA, though Garnett quickly silenced those critics and opened the door for high schoolers…

The 2016 Basketball Hall of Fame Class is inducted!
Sep 10, 2016
Written by
Committee Chairman
It is Basketball Hall of Fame weekend and dare we say that this is perhaps our favorite group since we started our site six years ago. How can it not be as the top three players on our list, Shaquille O’Neal, Allen Iverson and Yao Ming, were all selected, and it is hard to think of a triumvirate as different as those three. Despite there being three first ballot Hall of Famers, there shouldn’t be a question as to which one is the headliner; it is the man who is also the biggest. Shaquille O’Neal came into the NBA as…
The Hockey HOF TBD section has been updated

Written by
Committee Chairman
Many of our regular visitors are aware that in our Hockey section, we put up active players who are on the downside of their career. The reason we do this is that for the Hockey Hall of Fame, retired players are eligible after only three years and the “HOF Clock” begins much sooner. As such, we have added additional active players to our TBD (to be determined) list. They are as follows: Chris Kunitz, a former First Team NHL Star and three time Stanley Cup Champion. Daniel Sedin, a former Art Ross Trophy Winner. Dany Heatley, a former Calder Trophy…

Committee Chairman
The WWE lost a member of its family today as Harry Fujiwara, professionally known as Mr. Fuji, died at the age of 82. Carving his niche as an evil Japanese wrestler/manager, Mr. Fuji was actually born in the United States, specifically Hawaii. Born in 1935, he would get his start in his native Hawaii in the mid-60’s and would win his first title within a year, specifically the NWA Hawaii Tag Team Title with King Curtis Iaukea. The late 60’s and early 70’s would see Fuji win regional singles and tag titles, most notably in Oregon with NWA Pacific Northwest. …
