Not in Hall of Fame News
Derek Fisher done playing in the NBA
Jun 10, 2014
Written by
Committee Chairman
With the hiring of Derek Fisher as the new Head Coach of the New York Knicks, it is evident that his playing career has come to an end. Statistically speaking, the former Point Guard had done enough in the NBA to really be considered a Hall of Fame entry, and with this announcement, there has not been any media outlet petitioning for his inclusion. However, as we often do here at Notinhalloffame.com we ask the Hall of Fame question: Is Derek Fisher closer to Springfield than we think? Drafted as the 24th pick in the 1996 draft from Arkansas-Little Rock…

Shane Battier to wrap up his career
Jun 06, 2014
Written by
Committee Chairman
With the knowledge that Miami Heat player, Shane Battier will be calling it a career and joining ESPN after the NBA Finals, we thought it might be worth a look at his career to see what chance he might have for the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. You might be thinking that his professional career doesn’t measure up, and though he did make a Second Team All NBA Defensive selection and two NBA Titles (and perhaps a third), he has a Points per Game Career Average under 10, and a Career PER under 15. Battier may be a respected teammate…
Gene Simmons sounds off again about the RRHOF

Committee Chairman
Are we ever going to stop writing about KISS and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Seriously, it seems we have much more to write about since they have been inducted than during the entire period they were snubbed. After being “interviewed” by TMZ, Gene Simmons, again reiterated his previous statements that Rap and Disco do not belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which though is not a sentiment shared by us at Notinhalloffame.com, is one that can be found easily across the web. What we found most interesting is that the large tonged bass player…

Committee Chairman
The world of boxing lost one if its most exciting combatants as former World Light Heavyweight Champion, Matthew Saad Muhammad died today at the age of 59 in Philadelphia of ALS. Muhammad rose through the ranks and in 1979 he defeated Marvin Johnson for the WBC Light Heavyweight Championship with an 8th round Knockout. He would make eight successful title defences including the Ring Magazine Fight of the Year in a fourteen round TKO win over Yaqui Lopez. He held the World Title until Dwight Muhammad Qawi defeated him in December of 1981 and realistically his time at the top…
College Football HOF names 2014 Class

Committee Chairman
Although we do not foresee in the near future devoting a section of our website to those who are not in the College Football Hall of Fame, we here at Notinhalloffame.com have major respect for that particular Hall, and of course College Football as a whole. Today the College Football Hall of Fame has announced the entire Class of 2014, and we thought it would be worthwhile to take a deeper look at the entire group. Dre Bly: North Carolina Cornerback, 1996-98 Bly is a two time consensus All American and led the nation is Interceptions in his freshman season…
NASCAR HOF Class is set
May 23, 2014
Written by
Committee Chairman
We have to apologize, as we have not been keeping up as much as we should be with the NASCAR Hall of Fame, but we do promise to rectify that in the upcoming months. Yesterday, the Charlotte based institution announced the class of 2015, which announced five men who many racing pundits will not likely question. For many, the headliner is Bill Elliott who was the 1988 Winston Cup Champion. Calling Elliott a popular driver seems so understated as he was voted the Winston Cup Series Most Popular Driver sixteen times, which is the most by far and in 2005…
