Will Luka Doncic be the best NBA player in history?
Will Luka Doncic be the best NBA player in history
Luka Doncic is the number one topic in the NBA ever since he was drafted into the world's best basketball league. Entering the league at just 19 years of age, it was clear that Luka had what it takes to play on the highest level. Even though the expectations for the young Slovenian were very high, his game turned out to be better than anyone thought.
In fact, Luka is on the verge of becoming one of the best players NBA has ever seen, and he still has a long road ahead of him. With an average of 29 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 8.9 assists per game in his second season, the young player is taking the world by storm. He is also the current leader in triple-double games and a possible MVP candidate. But how did this basketball prodigy get to this level at such a young age?

Vernon Davis Retires
The Super Bowl has come and gone, and in a pre-game skit during the big game, Vernon Davis appeared with James Harrison and Rob Gronkowski in the “land of retirement.” Davis acknowledged his presence there by saying, “That’s right, I’m retired.”
Davis’ pro career began when he was drafted 6thoverall in 2006 by the San Francisco 49ers. It was in the Bay Area, where Davis would spend the first ten seasons of his career, and have his greatest individual success. In 2009 and 2013, Davis was named to the Pro Bowl, and he would lead the NFL in Receiving Touchdowns with 13. He had the same amount in 2013, but that was not enough to lead the league, though he was a Second Team All-Pro that year.
In 2015, he was traded during the season to the Denver Broncos. He didn’t stay there long, but he was with them during their run to a victory in Super Bowl 50. Davis then signed with the Washington Redskins where he played his final four seasons.
The retirement did not catch anyone by surprise. The Tight End only played in four games and only had 123 Yards. A concussion took him out in that fourth week. The Redskins were not planning to resign him, and he was essentially an unrestricted free agent.
Davis retires with 7,562 Receiving Yards and 63 Touchdowns, an excellent number for a Tight End. He is eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2025. He is unlikely to enter Canton, but we will definitely consider placing him on our Notinhalloffame.com list of 300 to consider for the Pro Football Hall of Fame that year.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to thank Davis for the on field memories and we wish him the best in his post-playing career.
Our All-Time Top 50 Indianapolis Colts have been revised
Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity. As such, we are very happy to present the first revision of our top 50 Indianapolis Colts of all-time.
As for all of our top 50 players in football we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the NFL.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.
Please note that this is the first update since 2016, and it does not reflect the 2019 season.
Remember, this is ONLY based on what a player does on that particular team and not what he accomplished elsewhere and also note that we have placed an increased importance on the first two categories, which has altered the rankings considerably.
This list is updated up until the end of the 2018 Season.
The complete list can be found here, but as always we announce our top five in this article. They are:
5. Raymond Berry
We have used a different algorithm from our initial list, and this has resulted in Colts who have long since retired being shuffled despite not having added any accomplishments.
We have since rectified that.
As always, we thank you for your support.
Our Top 50 Cleveland Cavaliers are now up
Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team. We have a new one to unveil today, that of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers were formed in 1970, but it was not until they drafted LeBron James. They would reach the NBA Finals for the first time in 2007, but James grew frustrated and took his talents to the Miami Heat. He returned and brought Kevin Love with him and joined a team that had Kyrie Irving. The Cavaliers would win the Eastern Conference four years in a row (2015-18), and they would win their first and only championship in 2016.
