Not in Hall of Fame News
As you all know we are working on our Top 50 Players from each major North American Team. This will eventually bleed into a look at how each one of them honors their respective former players/executives with retired numbers, rings of honor, franchise halls of fame etc.
This brings us to a huge announcement from the San Antonio Spurs, who have decreed that they will be retiring the number #21 of Tim Duncan on December 18.
With all due respect to the “The Admiral”, David Robinson, Tim Duncan is the best player that the Spurs have ever had. A nineteen year veteran (all with San Antonio), Tim Duncan brought San Antonio to five NBA Championships and would win two NBA MVPs.
The 1997 #1 Draft Pick out of Wake Forest would make the All NBA First Team ten times and the NBA All Defensive Team eight times. He should be a lock for the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2021, his first year of eligibility. This marks the eighth time that the Spurs have retired a number.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Tim Duncan for this latest honor and give a shout to the Spurs for doing this immediately…as it should be!

As you all know we are working on our Top 50 Players from each major North American Team. This will eventually bleed into a look at how each one of them honors their respective former players/executives with retired numbers, rings of honor, franchise halls of fame etc.
As such, it is news to us that the Green Bay Packers have announced that they will be inducting Donald Driver and Mark Lee to their organization’s Hall of Fame on July 27th, 2017.
Drafted seventh overall in 1999, Wide Receiver Donald Driver would play 205 Games over his fourteen year tenure at Lambeau. He would catch 743 passes for 10,137 Yards, both of which are franchise records. Driver would tally 62 Touchdowns and went to four Pro Bowls (2002, 2006, 2007 & 2010), and was a part of their Super Bowl win in 2010.
Driver will be joined by Cornerback, Mark Lee, who was with the Packers from 1980 to 1990. Lee recorded 31 Interceptions, placing him eighth overall in that metric. He played 157 Games for Green Bay starting in 139 of them.
The Green Bay Packers were the first team to build their own Hall of Fame and is a must visit for not just Packers fans but for NFL fans.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate both Donald Driver and Mark Lee for achieving this very prestigious honor.

Mick Foley wants to see Vader in the WWE HOF

On his official Facebook page, Mick Foley campaigned for Vader to get into the WWE Hall of Fame. Our apologies, as generally we do not include an entire quote form a Facebook page, but we thought it would be relevant in this case.
From Mick Foley:
“IT'S TIME...TO PUT VADER IN THE HALL OF FAME
I have been talking with Leon White the past few weeks, so I knew the news might be coming. But seeing it in print this morning was a shock nonetheless. Leon is dying. He has been told by doctors that he may have less than two years left to live. His legacy is so important to him, and he has told me that being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame would mean so much on both a personal and professional level. On a global level, Vader was one of the greatest attractions the pro wrestling business has ever seen. I have talked with people at the highest levels at WWE, and hope and pray that Leon's name will be included in the class of 2017 Hall of Fame inductees.”
From our take, Vader, who while he succeeded more in the WCW and in Japan, is a WWE Hall of Famer through and through. He is currently ranked #24 on our Notinhalloffame.com list.
In our eyes, this is not a case of Vader getting fast tracked to the WWE Hall because he may not be with us in two years, rather it is a scenario where this is a performer who deserves to be in period.
We are hoping that Leon White will get to see this wish come true.
