Not in Hall of Fame News
Not only is this the Final Four Weekend, it is another milestone day for us at Notinhalloffame.com as the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame has announced their Class of 2017.
For us, the headliner is Tracy McGrady, the seven time All Star who had had prolific runs with the Orlando Magic and the Houston Rockets. McGrady was a two time scoring champion and would score more than 20 Points per Game eight years in a row. Notably, T-Mac would be named an All NBA player seven times. This was his first year of eligibility.
Collegiately speaking, the big name is Bill Self, the Head Coach of Kansas, who has an overall record of 623 and 192. He would take the Jayhawks to the National Championship in 2012.
Rebecca Lobo headlines the women’s side of the ledger. Lobo was a star of the University of Connecticut team that won the NCAA Title in 1995 and went 35 and 0. She would go on to the WNBA and was an All Star in 1999.
Lobo is joined by Muffet McGraw, the Head Coach for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish’ women’s team since 1987. She would take her team to the NCAA Title in 2001.
The recently deceased Jerry Krause was also chosen. Krause was the owner of the Chicago Bulls team that ran roughshod through the NBA in the 1990’s winning six titles.
Representing the ABA is two time ABA Champion, George McGinnis. The former Indiana Hoosier was the ABA MVP in 1975 and after the merge with the NBA would make three All Star Games there.
The class is rounded out by High School Coach Bob Hughes, former NCAA Vice President Tom Jernstedt, European player, Nikos Galis and Zach Clayton and Mannie Jackson of the Harlem Globetrotters.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate this latest class and we will again begin work on our Notinhalloffame.com Basketball list.

We have added new entries to our TBD Hockey Futures

Not in Hall of Fame News
The more we add sections, the more we have to constantly update them.
As such our Hockey Futures TBD have added some new entries.
For those unaware, the Hockey section is the only team sport where we have a TBD (to be determined) section. This is due to the Hockey Hall of Fame having only a three year period after a player has retired before he becomes eligible for the Hockey Hall of Fame. This is why we look at players over 35 who are currently active in professional hockey and place them in a potential vote.
Here are the new players who we have now included in this section:
Alexandre Burrows: A capable defensive minded forward who has done very well for the Vancouver Canucks.
Dainus Zubrus: A longtime player who played for many NHL teams and the Russian National Team.
John-Michael Liles: A member of the United States World Cup and Olympic Team.
Kevin Bieksa: A rugged two way defenseman who plays currently for Anaheim.
Marc-Andre Bergeron: A stay-at-home defenseman who has played for seven NHL teams.
Marek Zidlicki: A three time Olympian for the Czech Republic.
Matt Cullen: A two time Stanley Cup Champion.
Mike Fisher: A gritty Center who played in the 2015 All Star Game.
Patrick Sharp: A three time Stanley Cup Champion with the Chicago Blackhawks.
Radim Vrbata: An All Star in 2015.
Willie Mitchell: A two time Stanley Cup winning Defenseman with the Los Angeles Kings.
This crop of players join Alex Tanguay, Andrei Markov, Brian Campbell, Chris Kunitz, Daniel Sedin, Dany Heatley, Eric Brewer, Francois Beauchemin, Henrik Sedin, Jarome Iginla, Jaromir Jagr, Joe Thornton, Marian Hossa, Mark Streit, Martin Havlat, Mike Ribeiro, Nicklas Backstrom, Patrick Marleau, Patrick Elias, Pavel Datsyuk, Roberto Luongo Ryan Miller, Shane Doan, Shawn Horcoff, Simon Gagne, Stephane Robidas and Zdeno Chara.
You know what we want you to do!

Another name has been announced as a presenter at this year’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as Snoop Dogg will be inducting the late rapper, Tupac Shakur into the Hall.
The two were friends and label mates on Suge Knight’s Death Row Records and had collaborated on multiple tracks.
While there are still many details left to be ironed out about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Ceremony, it is fitting that Snoop that will be a part of Tupac’s induction, which should yield a very moving tribute.
The ceremony is slated for April 7 in Brooklyn, New York at the Barclay’s Center.
