RIP: Nate Thurmond

It was announced today by the Golden State Warriors that their former Center, Nate Thurmond died at the age of 74 after a bout with leukemia.
Thurmond, a member of the NBA’s 50 Greatest Players list, played collegiately at Bowling Green before being drafted third overall in 1963 by the Warriors. Thurmond was an All Star by his sophomore season and made the mid-season festivity seven times. Thurmond was not known for his offense, a little surprising considering he exceeded 20 Points per Game per season. Rather, he was known for his rebounding prowess finishing in the top five in boards per game six times.
Thurmond would be traded to the Chicago Bulls however thirteen games later he would be moved to the Cleveland Cavaliers, close to his hometown of Akron, Ohio. The big man was a vital part of the Cavs miracle run to the Eastern Championship.
His number would be retired by both the Warriors and the Cavaliers.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the friends and family of Nate Thurmond at this time.

The Hot Line to kick off the Winnipeg Jets Hall of Fame
Jul 15, 2016

Not in Hall of Fame News
At some point in time, we plan do take a serious look at all the individual Halls of Fame. We will get there eventually, and when we do the Winnipeg Jets will now be part of it as they have announced their own Hall of Fame.
The new Hall will not open empty, as their famed “Hot Line” of Bobby Hull, Ulf Nilsson and Anders Hedberg from the 1970’s will be the first inductees. The ceremony will take place at the Jets home game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on October 19.
Bobby Hull made headlines when he jumped to the upstart World Hockey Association and signed with the Jets becoming the first hockey player to sign a million dollar contract. “The Golden Jet” would play for Winnipeg for 411 Games scoring 638 Points. He would win the WHA MVP Award in 1973 and 1975 and would enter the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1983.
Anders Hedberg palyed for the Jests for the four seasons and had over 100 Points in each of them. Hedberg would later become a member of the Swedish and IIHF Hockey Hall of Fame.
Ulf Nilsson also played for four seasons in Winnipeg and averaged 100 Points per season. Like Hedberg, he would join the New York Rangers following his WHA run.
It is worth noting that while the Jets are creating their own Hall of Fame, the actual history of the first version belongs to the Arizona Coyotes. That fact will be reflected on our upcoming Top 50 Winnipeg Jets of all-time.
Still, we here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Hull, Nilsson and Hedberg for earning this honor.
