We admit we have been procrastinating on our Basketball list, but the retirement of Yao Ming from a Hall of Fame perspectve is fascinating to us. The former number one draft pick had a good NBA career, but it is hard to say that is is Hall of Fame worthy. With that said, could a case be made that his impact in China and basketball Internationally makes him a viable candidate? It just might.

A two time Pro Bowler, Collins does not have the overall resume that does not scream Hall of Fame.....It may not even be a name that makes our list. Regardelss, we here at Notinhalloffame congratulate Kerry Collins for overcoming his adversity and completing a sixteen year…

Paul Kariya has decided to call an end to his professional career today as he announced his retirement due to the affects of post concussion syndrome. Kariya's Hall of Fame resume is a very intriguing one and arguably could be one of the more debated ones in the future. A star in college, Kariya won the Hobey Baker Award and led the University of Maine to an NCAA championship. Kariya would remain a star on the professional circuit, as he would become a six time All Star and the leader of the Mighty Dicks of Anaheim. The skilled superstar may…

Well gang, today they announced the latest class for the Hockey Hall of Fame and we have to admit that we are pleased with the results. Four of our top ten were selected, and that is a lot better than what we saw last year. Although our top three were not selected, we really don;t know if the Hall will ever admit our number #1 Selection in Don Cherry. We have not seen any real evidence that he is even on their radar despite his undeniable iconic stature in the game. Our number #2 Selection, Sergei Makarov is rarely discussed…

As you likely have heard, Clarence Clemons passed away yesterday following the aftermath of a stroke. "The Big Man" was one of the vital components of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band and followers of the Boss know that his concerts will never be the same again. It has been argued that the E Street Band should have been inducted with Springsteen. We never gave it a lot of thought, but we are thinking of it today. Should we be ranking the E Street Band in the future?

We know that we have not done our due dilligence in terms of the Basketball Hall of Fame (It is such a mess, but we will get to it), but we certainly have a future number one candiate in Shaquille O'Neal who calle dit a career today.

The star of Kazzam, a bad rap album and Shaq-Fu will be in the Hall of Fame soon.......despite being…

Today we lost another musical legend as Gil Scott-Heron passed away at the age of 62. Scott-Heron was credited with being the forefather to Hip Hop, as his spoken word Raps predated the Hip Hop movement by well over a decade. His songs made you think more than most artists and wheteher you agreed or disagreed with his message; you definitely listened to him. He is a top candidate on our Rock and Roll list, but despite this and his undeniable influence in the world of music, we do not see him honored in Cleveland posthumously.
