RIP: Lemmy

In the world of heavy metal, this is a loss of epic proportions.  Today, at the age of 70, bass guitarist and front man of Motorhead, Lemmy Kilmister died after a brief but aggressive bout of cancer.

Born in 1945 in Stoke-on-Trent, England, would first break into the musical spotlight with Hawkwind, the space rock outfit where he would spend three years, but after leaving the band he would form Motorhead in 1975, and the group would be considered pioneers of speed metal, specifically the fast pace of Lemmy, whose gravelly voice was the perfect pairing for the powerful sound. 

Motorhead would become one of the most successful metal bands of all time and easily one of the most historically significant of the genre.  The band put out 22 studio albums, most notably, the 1980 album, Ace of Spades, which featured the song of the same name.  The band was set to embark on a world tour to promote their latest album.

This death sadly comes only a few weeks after former drummer, Phil Taylor died at the age of 61.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the friends and family of Lemmy at this time, and for us, we are going to do what Lemmy would want.  Play his music loud and drink excessively. 



One of the greatest basketball players of all time died yesterday, though this is a man who never played in the NBA, but did play for the most recognizable team worldwide.  Meadowlark Lemon passed away in Scottsdale, Arizona at the age of 83.

Lemon was a member of the Harlem Globetrotters for over twenty years and was one of the most recognizable faces of the organization.  The “Clown Prince of Basketball” first joined the team in 1954 and stayed with them until 1978 where he appeared in at least 16,000 Games in over 100 countries.

A contract dispute would see Lemon set up his own touring company, and he would venture out in television and films, most notably in the basketball film, “The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh”. 

While Lemon was never in the pros, in his prime, he was viewed to be one of the best in the game.  Lemon would be inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame in 2003.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the friends and family of Meadowlark Lemon at this time.



Number two is endorsing number one.



At least that is how it is for us at Notinhalloffame.com feel as last night, Don Cherry who is ranked #2 on our Notinhalloffame.com Hockey List emphatically spoke on how our #1 man on the Hockey List, Eric Lindros, should be in.



“When he was a junior player, he played for Oshawa, he won the Memorial Cup; he was player of the year in junior; at 18 years old he played in the Canada Cup and when they won, he was a force; 760 [NHL] games, 875 points; 53 playoff games, he got 57 points; Legion of Doom, [Mikael] Renberg and [John] LeClair, a highest-scoring line maybe of all time; most dominant player for five years; seven times an All-Star; NHL MVP, the Hart Trophy; top scorer in the NHL, the Art Ross; two [World Junior Championships] golds; captain of the Olympics; and when he retired, he gave $5 million to the hospital, And he isn’t in the Hall of Fame!”



Mr. Cherry we agree, but guess what?  So should you!



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 amount 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.
