The Basketball world lost a legend as Hall of Fame inductee, Sam Jones, passed away today at the age of 88. Playing at North Carolina Central, Jones was not highly recruited on the NBA level, but Red Auerbach took a chance on him after being told by his scouts that this was, in fact, the best player in the state. The gamble proved fruitful as the versatile Jones would prove to be one of the best clutch shooters of his era, so much so, that he was nicknamed "Mr. Clutch." Jones' shooting skills and his smooth shot would find many…

Committee Chairman
Seattle Mariners Third Baseman, Kyle Seager, announced his abrupt retirement today, ending speculation that he might sign with his brother, Corey, in Texas. An 11-year veteran, Seager debuted with Seattle in 2011, and never played for any other MLB team. A solid slugger, Seager had over 20 Home Runs eight straight years (2012-19), and smacked 35 last year, a career-high, but also had a career-low .212 Batting Average. He retired with 242 Home Runs, 1,395 Hits with a Slash Line of .251/.321/.442. Seager is eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2027, though is unlikely to gain induction. We here at…

Retiring as a coach in 1978, Madden joined the broadcast booth for CBS, eventually teaming with Pat Summerall, where they would be the network’s prime announcers.

Awards - HOF? Part Sixty-Two: The NBA Sixth Man of the Year

Committee Chairman
We here at Notinhalloffame.com thought it would be fun to take a look at the major awards in North American team sports and see how it translates into Hall of Fame potential. Needless to say, different awards in different sports yield hall of fame potential. In basketball, the team sport with the least number of players on a roster, the dividend for greatness much higher. In baseball, it is not as much as a great individual season does not have the same impact. Last time, we looked at the MLB All-Star Game MVP. This time, we return to Basketball, with the NBA Sixth…

Written by
Committee Chairman
It is a tradition that dates back to 1945: the annual induction class to the NHL Hall of Fame. Aside from winning the Stanley Cup, it is the ultimate honor for players of the game and a way to immortalize themselves amongst the greatest players to ever hit the ice. The Hockey Hall of Fame enshrines a maximum of four players every year along with spots for builders as well. It has also recently started to induct female hockey players. The Hockey Hall of Fame has 289 players inducted which include eight female players and more being added each year! Next year’s…
