Not in Hall of Fame News
Our long and arduous work in progress of ranking the top fifty players for every North American sports team is underway, but after that is completed we will then take a look how each franchise honors their own in terms of respective franchise halls of fame, ring of honors, retired numbers and statues.
As such it is noteworthy to us that the Detroit Pistons will be announcing that the club will be honoring the jerseys of Ben Wallace and Chauncey Bilups through the 2015-16 Season.
Specifically, Wallace will be honored on January 16 in a game against the Golden State Warriors and Billups will be honored in a game against the Denver Nuggets in February 10.
Both Billups and Wallace were members of the Pistons 2004 NBA Championship Team and will have their number retired by the team,
Ben Wallace arrived in Detroit in 2000 and would make all of his four All Star Games while playing for the Pistons. He would spend more than half of his career in Motown and the tall man would average a double digit Rebound figure in Detroit and would also put up stats that would gave him four NBA Defensive Player of the Year Results.
Big Ben would also post five season as an All-NBA Player (three as Second Team and two as Third Team) and was clearly a defensive standout in Detroit.
Billups would also become a four time All Star and a two time Second Team Defensive Player and three time post season All-NBA player as a Piston. He would be named the MVP of the NBA Finals in 2004.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Chauncey Billups, Ben Wallace and the Detroit Pistons at this time.

Our long and arduous work in progress of ranking the top fifty players for every North American sports team is underway, but after that is completed we will then take a look how each franchise honors their own in terms of respective franchise halls of fame, ring of honors, retired numbers and statues.
As such it is noteworthy to us that the Philadelphia Flyers officially inducted former forward, Rod Brind’Amour to their franchise’s Hall of Fame.
Brind’Amour played nine seasons and suited up for 633 Games in Philadelphia, scoring 601 Points, which is in the top ten in franchise history. He would also score another 51 Points for Philadelphia in the playoffs and was a big part of the Flyers 1997 Stanley Cup appearance. He also holds the team record for the most consecutive games played with 484 and would represent the team at the All Star Game in 1992.
While he put up good numbers in Philadelphia, a trade to Carolina would see Brind’Amour win the Stanley Cup and the Frank J. Selke Trophy twice as the NHL’s top defensive forward.
Brind’Amour is ranked #52 on our current Notinhalloffame Hockey Hall of Fame countdown.

Awards = HOF? Part Four: The Super Bowl MVP (NFL)

From the Desk of the Chairman
We here at Notinhalloffame.com thought it would be fun to take a look at the major awards in North American team sports and see how it translates into Hall of Fame potential.
Needless to say, different awards in different sports yield hall of fame potential. In basketball, the team sport with the least amount of players on a roster, the dividend for greatness much higher. In baseball, it is not as much as a great individual season does not have the same impact.

As such it is noteworthy to us that over the weekend the San Diego Chargers officially retired the number of former Running Back, LaDainian Tomlinson and entered him in their franchises’ Hall of Fame.
Tomlinson played for San Diego from 2001 to 2009 and made five Pro Bowls and three First Team All Pros. Three times he would lead the NFL in Rushing Touchdowns and in 2006 was named the League MVP.
The former Running Back becomes the fourth player to have his number retired, joining Dan Fouts, Lance Alworth and Junior Seau.
Tomlinson will be eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2017 and is considered by many to enter Canton.
We would like to congratulate LaDainian Tomlinson on this latest accolade and there is reason to think there are more coming.
