The Charlotte Hornets Top 50 has been revised
Feb 13, 2017

Not in Hall of Fame News
Our process continues!
Regular visitors know that we are slowly working away on our Top 50 players for each major franchise. Those same visitors know that they are being added VERY slowly and that we have a long way to go still.
Having said that, we have updated the first NBA Top 50 list, which is that of the Charlotte Hornets.
In the future, changes to top 50 NBA teams will be more subtle, as we now have an algorithm that is fixed, and adds more elements of advanced statistics. All changes after this will be only reflect what has changed over a completed season. Basically, what we are saying is that the Hornets overhaul reflects our new system and now the 2015-16 season accomplishments.
We have switched around the entire list, but for the sake of brevity, let’s look at the new top five:
Larry Johnson takes over the #1 from Gerald Wallace who traded places to come in at #2. Muggsy Bogues and Dell Curry remain at #3 and #4 respectively. Glen Rice moves into #5, up one spot, taking over for Emeka Okafor who dropped significantly to #9. Notably, Kemba Walker moved up from #12 to #6.
The entire list can be found here.
Look for more Top 50 lists and revisions from us soon!

We here at Notinhalloffame.com have been doing preliminary work for a future expansion of our Hockey section. As such, we decided to bolster our futures section, which has led us to add a few players to our 2018 Hockey Futures Section.
The 2018 Hockey Futures include Martin Brodeur and Martin St. Louis, two people who will likely get in immediately but we decided to add a few players who while are not likely to receive serious consideration, were good players who we wish to respect with their addition here.
The new entries are:
Brenden Morrow: A former Stanley Cup Champion with the Detroit Red Wings who also won a World Cup and Olympic Gold Medal with Canada.
Chris Phillips: A defenseman who spent his entire career with the Ottawa Senators.
Michael Ryder: A member of the 2011 Boston Bruin Stanley Cup Championship Team.
Robyn Regher: A Stanley Cup winner with the Los Angeles Kings in 2014 and former Olympian on the Canadian Team.
Scott Hannan: A stay-at-home Defenceman known mostly for his run with the San Jose Sharks
Along with Brodeur and St. Louis, this group joins Daniel Briere, Evgeni Nabokov, Ilya Bryzgalov, Kimmo Timonen, Olli Jokinen and Sergei Gonchar.
You know what we want you to do!
Take a look and cast your vote and offer your opinion!
As always, we here at Notinhalloffame.com thank you for your support.

RIP: Chavo Guerrero Sr.

This is one of the saddest days for us at Notinhalloffame.com and for me specifically, Kirk Buchner, the owner of this site.
My friend, Chavo Guerrero Sr., passed away after a battle with liver cancer. He was 68 years old.
I am not going to speak now about his decorated career, which while extensive, is not the way I will remember him. To me, Chavo was a man whose heart exceeded his muscles, whose passion for wrestling was only matched by his pride of being a member of the Guerrero family. He was proud, always told you what was on his mind and possibly the most genuine man I ever met.
A few years ago, I interviewed him for our site and shortly after he asked me to work on his autobiography, which other than the epilogue we have finished. Chavo helped us out with a YouTube video, counting down those who should be considered for the WWE Hall of Fame, and his expertise and charismatic way in which he discussed people who were his former co-workers was as entertaining as he was in the ring.
My heart goes out to the Guerrero family and his many fans.
Amigo, you will be missed.

Michael Vick is now retired
Feb 06, 2017

Michael Vick entered the National Football League with a lot of fanfare as the number #1 pick in the 2001 Draft. He exited with a comment to ESPN columnist, Josina Anderson, where he stated, “I’m willing to say yeah, I’m officially retired.”
While this is not exactly the glorious departure that people envisioned in 2001, this is a still a career worth taking a look at and maybe even asking the Hall of Fame question.
Drafted out of Virginia Tech, Vick would become the Falcon’s permanent starter in his sophomore year. The Quarterback would dazzle the fans of the NFL with arm and his legs and would be named to his first Pro Bowl. Vick would become a bona fide star in the National Football League and one of the most recognized players in football.
The Falcons were a good team, but not one that was built to go deep into the playoffs. That being said, the dual threat of Michael Vick terrorized opposing Defensive Coordinators and made planning against Atlanta a very interesting proposition. He would be with Atlanta for four more seasons until 2006 and would go to two more Pro Bowls. Notably, in ’06, he would become the first Quarterback to rush for over 1,000 Yards.
While 2006 would be a great year, the following two would not be as he would be sentenced for promoting a dog fighting ring that would land him in jail. He would be suspended from the NFL and missed two years form the game and it was uncertain whether he could ever be a football player at an elite level, let alone the star that he was.
As he was released by the Falcons, Vick was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles, predominantly because of the mentorship of Tony Dungy. Serving as the backup to Donovan McNabb, Vick paid his penance and was named by his teammates as the nominee for the Ed Block Courage Award. The following season, Vick took over as Philadelphia’s starting QB and was named to his fourth Pro Bowl and the NFL Comeback Player of the Year.
That would be Vick’s last great season, though he would remain in the NFL with the Eagles for three more seasons and would play with the New York Jets and the Pittsburgh Steelers before playing his last game in 2015.
With this now acknowledged retirement, Michael Vick will be eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2021, an institution that Vick feels he belongs in based on how “he changed the game”.
While he did usher in an era of more mobile Quarterbacks, a place in Canton might be hard to envision.
Regardless, we know we aren’t the only ones who were entertained by watching him play and we wish him the best in the next stage of his life.
