Shaquille O’Neal and Allen Iverson, who hold the numbers one and two spots respectively on our Notinhalloffame.com Basketball List got in on their first try.
Shaq is a former four time NBA Champion, a former MVP, two time scoring champion and a fifteen time All Star. O’Neal is without question the most dominant center of his day and one of the top Centers ever.
Iverson, who while he was not a former NBA Champion is also a former NBA MVP and won four scoring titles and went to 11 All Star Games. In terms of excitement on the court, Iverson had few peers.
While O’Neal, Iverson and Ming are easily the top draws there are still big names who have been selected for this year.
Current Michigan State Head Coach, Tom Izzo enters Springfield and is a former NCAA Champion Coach. His current record is 524 and 205.
This years female inductee is Sheryl Swoopes, a four time WNBA Champion and three time WNBA MVP.

What the WWE Legacy Wing means to us

The Legacy Hall of Fame.
Seriously, this changes everything for us in regards to our WWE Hall of Fame list, especially when it comes to our revised rankings, which we will unveil next month.
As announced during the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony, a Legacy Wing has been created which officially inducted former wrestlers such as Lou Thesz, “Sailor” Art Thomas, Frank Gotch, Mildred Burker, Ed “Strangler” Lewis, Pat O’Connor and George Hackenschmidt.
We have not ranked any wrestler whose career was in its prime prior to 1950 for two specific reasons:
1: The WWE (or then WWWF) did not exist until 1961.
2: Those competitors had little if any association to the WWE product.
Now that the WWE has gone this route, this means clearly that with our revised ranking you will see many new entries that will predate most of you who visit our website.
Either way, you know we will have fun doing it!

It has been reported by multiple sources that Yao Ming will be inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.
The greatest star in the history of Chinese Basketball, Ming began his career in the Chinese league and was the first pick in the 2002 NBA Draft. Ming was an eight time All Star who averaged 19 Points and 9.2 Rebounds per year. Ming retired in 2011 following a series of injuries his feet and ankles.
Ming, who was ranked #3 by us at Notinhalloffame.com, will be the International representative and is almost single handedly responsible for elevating the game in China.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Yao Ming and will be watching intensely to see who will join him.

The Country Music HOF announces the latest class

The Country Music Hall of Fame has announced their latest class and while we have yet to do a ranking of those not yet enshrined, this is certainly one of the largest Halls of Fame of note and one that has been expanding in size and stature.
For many the sentimental headliner is Randy Travis who two years ago suffered a stroke and is barely able to speak. Travis had a plethora of country hits in the past and at one time was arguably the biggest draws of the genre.
Travis will be joined by Charlie Daniels, who in 1979 had a major crossover hit with “The Devil Went Down to Georgia”, which remains a staple on country and classic rock stations.
The third inductee for the Hall if Fred Foster, the founder of Monument Records, which helped to launch the career of Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton and Kris Kristofferson.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the latest class for this prestigious institution and openly wonder why we have not gotten around to doing a list for this one yet!
