Regular visitors of Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB. Once that is done, we will examine how each team honors its past players, coaches, and executives. As such, it is important to us that the Toronto Raptors will be retiring the number 15 of Vince Carter.

The event will take place when the Raptors host Sacramento on November 2.

Carter joined the Raptors via a draft-day trade in 1998 and immediately brought eyeballs to the struggling expansion team.  Carter easily won the Rookie of the Year, and the man christened “Half-Man Half-Amazing” electrified the league with his dunks and scoring acumen.  He easily won the 2000 Slam Dunk competition and became one of the most known basketball players in the world.

From 1999-00 to 2003-04, Carter was a perennial All-Star and was a Third Team All-NBA selection in 99/00 and Second Team All-NBA in 2001.  He averaged 23.4 Points per Game as a Raptor, but it was a very acrimonious departure from Toronto, as Carter became frustrated with team management, became a malcontent in 2004, and wanted out.  He received his wish, but for the next ten years, Carter was the most hated man in Toronto, mercilessly booed with every appearance regardless of the team he was on.  It softened eventually, especially after Toronto won the NBA Championship in 2019.

Carter becomes the first player to have his number retired by the Raptors.  It is believed that the delay in this retirement might come from some higher-ups in Raptor management who thought that Kyle Lowry, who led them to their lone title in 2019, should be the first, but Carter put the team on the map.

This will be a special year for Carter, who will also have his number retired by the Nets this year.  On October 13, he will headline the 2024 Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame Class.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Vince Carter for his impending honor.

1967 PRELIMINARY RESULTS:

Thank you to all who participated in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project. If you are still determining what that is, we acted like the PFHOF had its first class in January 1946.

We have completed the first 21 years thus far.

For “1967,” a Preliminary Vote with close to 100 players whose playing career ended by 1959. We are also following the structure in that players have 20 years of eligibility, and if they do not make it into the Hall, they are relegated to the Senior Pool.

Each voter was asked to select 25 names from the preliminary list, and the top 25 vote-getters were named Semi-Finalists.

A week later, the voters will be asked to pick 15 names from the 25 Semi-Finalists, and next after, they will pick five from the remaining 15. We will continue this process weekly until we catch up to the current year.

Please note that a significant change occurred “years ago,” allowing voters to submit less than the allotted spots.

Please note that two voted for “None of the Above.”

We also had a vote to see if you wanted to change the voting parameter on the Final Ballot and asked if you wanted to keep it as is (vote max 5) or expand it to a maximum of 6 or 7.

31 of you said to keep it as is, so we will do that going forward.

Next week, we will announce the Semi-Finalists for the 1967 Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project.
