Every great website needs an identity, and we here at Notinhalloffame.com and The Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame decided to go one step further. We have found ourselves a spokes model, and just in time, as we will be unveiling the Finals for the 2016 FAHOF Class. Out of Wilmington, North Carolina, we would like to present to you Haley Reagan, an avid sports and pop culture buff who knows how to grill a perfect t-bone and pair it with just the right beer…but enough from us.  Let’s let Haley tell you about herself! I grew up in Wisconsin. I…
It is Basketball Hall of Fame weekend and dare we say that this is perhaps our favorite group since we started our site six years ago. How can it not be as the top three players on our list, Shaquille O’Neal, Allen Iverson and Yao Ming, were all selected, and it is hard to think of a triumvirate as different as those three. Despite there being three first ballot Hall of Famers, there shouldn’t be a question as to which one is the headliner; it is the man who is also the biggest. Shaquille O’Neal came into the NBA as…
Many of our regular visitors are aware that in our Hockey section, we put up active players who are on the downside of their career.  The reason we do this is that for the Hockey Hall of Fame, retired players are eligible after only three years and the “HOF Clock” begins much sooner. As such, we have added additional active players to our TBD (to be determined) list. They are as follows: Chris Kunitz, a former First Team NHL Star and three time Stanley Cup Champion. Daniel Sedin, a former Art Ross Trophy Winner. Dany Heatley, a former Calder Trophy…

RIP: Mr. Fuji

The WWE lost a member of its family today as Harry Fujiwara, professionally known as Mr. Fuji, died at the age of 82. Carving his niche as an evil Japanese wrestler/manager, Mr. Fuji was actually born in the United States, specifically Hawaii.  Born in 1935, he would get his start in his native Hawaii in the mid-60’s and would win his first title within a year, specifically the NWA Hawaii Tag Team Title with King Curtis Iaukea.  The late 60’s and early 70’s would see Fuji win regional singles and tag titles, most notably in Oregon with NWA Pacific Northwest. …
It was a very big day in terms of the FIBA Hall of Fame as their latest class has become official at their headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.  As this is the FIBA Hall of Fame, this is a truly international group of basketball personalities, some of which are household names in the United States, some of which are not known at all. The biggest name for most people is Hakeem Olajuwon, the Nigerian born American who has been growing basketball in Africa and was part of the American team that dominated at the 1996 Olympics.  “The Dream” is also a…
