Regular contributor Spheniscus has brought us something that we are very excited to share with all of you. It won’t be long before the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announces who their Finalist for the next class and our friend from Chicago by way of Boston has put together his top 40 acts in terms of their chances who enter eligibility this year.

The Toy Hall of Fame has announced the Finalists for the 2017 Class and as it typically is many childhood memories are flooding back!

The 12 Finalists are:

Clue

Magic 8 Ball

Wiffle Ball

Transformers

Uno

Sand

Paper Airplanes

PEZ Dispensers

Play Food

Matchbox Cars

My Little Pony

Risk

This is a pretty eclectic group of toys isn’t it?

A national advisory committee picked the Finalists. The Class of 2017 will be announced on November 9.

The Los Angeles Lakers have announced what many of us have long suspected they would do, they will be retiring the numbers 8 and 24 of Kobe Bryant this season. It is notable that he played ten seasons for Los Angeles in both numbers.

An All Star for 18 of his 20 seasons, Bryant retired ranked third all-time in Points and was named to 11 1st Team All-NBA rosters. More importantly, he is a five time NBA Champion.

Like Shaquille O’Neal, the Lakers will retire his number before his eventual Hall of Fame induction.

Bryant becomes the 10th player in Lakers history to have his number retired. He joins Wilt Chamberlain (13), Elgin Baylor (22), Gail Goodrich (25), Magic Johnson (32), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (33), Shaquille O’Neal (34), James Worthy (42), Jerry West (44) and Jamaal Wilkes (52).

We here at Notinhalloffame.com will definitely be watching when it occurs!
