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.
Former NBA Power Forward, John “Hot Rod” Williams passed away today at the young age of 53 after losing a battle with prostate cancer. 

Williams, while never an All Star, was a popular player with the Cleveland Cavaliers but had to endure trials (literally) and tribulations to get there.

While playing at Tulane, Williams was not exactly an honor student and was labeled as a troublemaker in some circles.  Most notably, he would be charged with point shaving in three games.  Williams went to trial twice, the first resulting in a mistrial, the second being found not guilty, but as he was going through the judicial system, he was not able to suit up for the Cleveland Cavaliers who had selected him 45th overall in the draft.

Williams would play for Cleveland for nine seasons beginning in the 1986/87 season and would average over 10 Points per Game every season.  Overall, his Cavalier numbers were very good, as over 661 Games he averaged 31.5 Minutes, 12.9 Points, 7.1 Rebounds and 1.8 Blocks per Game with a PER of 16.4. 

“Hot Rod” would play another four seasons in the NBA, with the Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks.

While he was perceived by some as a problem in college, his Cavaliers teammates praised him for personality and devotion to his team. 



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







It was announced today that Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, Dolph Schayes has passed away today at the age of 87 after succumbing to cancer. 
Pittsburgh Penguins Left Winger, Pascal Dupuis announced yesterday that due to blood clots in his lung he would be forced to retire from the National Hockey League. 

The 36 year old was in his sixteenth season in the NHL, the last half of which was a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins, a team in which he won a Stanley Cup with in 2009.  Dupuis would also lead the NHL in Plus/Minus in the 2012/13 season, 

Dupuis retires with 409 career Points over 871 Games and was considered by many of his teammates as one the game’s most tenacious players.  He entered the NHL undrafted, and clawed his way to a successful career, which he hopes will continue in some capacity, though off of the ice of course with the Penguins.

While he is not going to be a Hall of Fame player, his career was a solid one and it will be honored this year by the Penguins who will be wearing a number 9 decal on their jersey for the season’s duration to honor the now retired player.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to thank Pascal Dupuis for his career and wish him the best in his post playing career.
