Notinhalloffame awards Nikola Jokic the first ever Notinhalloffame Pure Cup.

Committee Chairman
Two months ago, we awarded Nikola Jokic as the winner of the second Notinhalloffame NBA Cup. What was that? With every single regular season game, we anointed the best five players in the game with descending points, 5-4-3-2-1. The top players for the NBA NIHOF Cup are not always the best in the league, as injuries keep players out of games, and a premium on staying healthy can help pile up points. It also does not hurt to be a top player on an average or mediocre team, as they can amass Cup points easier that elite players on loaded squads. Please…

As we expected, the Sedin twins, Daniel and Henrik have been chosen for the Hockey Hall of Fame. From Sweden, and playing the entirety of their career with the Vancouver Canucks, both brothers may not have won a Stanley Cup, but they did not conclude their career with empty trophy cases.…

Committee Chairman
This is what we said three years ago “Hmmmm. This is not the first word that we would normally use in an article in regards to an NFL retirement but we are not positive that this one will stick. New England Patriots Tight End Rob Gronkowski has announced that he is walking away from football after a nine-year career where he was one of the most popular players in the game.” We were right as Gronkowski returned a year later to join his long-time friend and Quarterback, Tom Brady in Tampa Bay, where they continued to make history.
