As always, we here at Notinhalloffame.com have been diligently working on expanding our website, and we have a small addition to our Basketball section, the 2021 Basketball Futures.

As many of you know, the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame has reduced the eligibility wait by one year, thus making everyone eligible five years after their career ends in the National Basketball Association. 

We know this much.  Once you take a look at the group that is eligible and see the three certain first ballot Hall of Famers, perhaps you will wish to join us on our pilgrimage to Springfield, Massachusetts in 2021!

The 2021 Future Eligible Basketball Players are: 

Tim Duncan, a Center from St. Croix who would play his entire career with the San Antonio Spurs.  Duncan was a ten time First Team All NBA Selection, a five time NBA Champion and a two time MVP.

Mo Williams, a one time All Star with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Kobe Bryant, a ferocious scorer who took the Los Angeles Lakers to five NBA Championships.  He is also a one time NBA MVP and eleven time First Team All Pro Selection. 

Kevin Garnett, a prep to star player who helped the Boston Celtics win the NBA Championship and WAS the Minnesota Timberwolves.  Garnett is a former NBA MVP and four time First Team All NBA Selection.

Elton Brand, a two time All Star.

Amar’e Stoudemire, a six time All Star who would be named to an All-NBA team five times.

Duncan, Bryant and Garnett?  All three of them will (and better) enter the Basketball Hall of Fame on their first go and if they don’t the entire institution should be blown up.

Realistically, we are not worried about that not happening and are assuming that this will be one of the greatest trios to enter the Hall of Fame together. 
The Toy Hall of Fame has announced their newest class, and as always it certainly brings back our inner child every time we discuss it here.

This year, the Strong Museum in Rochester, New York, which houses the Toy Hall of Fame selected three toys to add to the fifty-nine others that are already in.

The three new inductees are:

The Swing: Which has its beginnings from ancient time and became a household staple for suburban backyards.

Fischer Price’s “Little People”: A toy that first hit the market in 1959.

Dungeons & Dragons: A table top game that came into being in 1974 became a cultural phenomenon and geek’s paradise for years.

Congratulations to these toys and let’s see which one of our childhood memories get in next year!
It is another sad day in the music industry. 

On his official Facebook Page, it was announced that revered folk-poet singer, Leonard Cohen died at the age of 82.  The cause of death has not been disclosed.

While there was a plethora of singer songwriters who emerged in the 1960’s, there was none that could batch his haunting and deep voice and the wide scope of topics that his songs broached.  Amazingly, it almost never happened.

Cohen, who was born in Quebec, was a published poet but hardly a successful one.  A meeting with Judy Collins led to her using two of his songs on her album, “In My Life”, and he would become one of the more sought after songwriters, and later performers. 

Unlike so many, Cohen would have a successful career for decades, enjoying a renaissance of sorts, especially with the constant reworking of what is now his most famous song, “Hallelujah”.  He would be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008, and would later receive The Order of Canada, considered the highest honor that be given from that nation.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com offer our condolences to the friends, family and fans of Leonard Cohen. 
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame have never been one to embrace the heavy metal genre as there are many great acts (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest) that have not been inducted.  James Hetfield of Metallica, a band that is the Rock Hall, has gone on record that he wants to see Motörhead inducted.

In an interview with Gary Moore at KLOS in Los Angeles, Hetfield had this to say about Motörhead:

With the passing of Lemmy, it's really, really important for me to see Motörhead acknowledged in that.  Cause there's no more rock and roll person on this planet than Lemmy and Motörhead."

I loved being murdered every night by that thing, man. He was just such an icon, such an inspiration to us as a band. There's certainly no way we'd be around if there was no Motörhead.”

Motorhead were not named Finalists this year and neither were any metal bands.  They have been eligible for the Hall since 2002.
