Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski

Jeff The Dude Lebowski
Here is another tough one. In what has turned into a cult classic, “The Big Lebowski” has a lot of bowling in it, and “The Dude” is an avid player of the sport. So does this pot smoking slacker deserve a slot in this Hall? It probably depends on how many pot smoking slackers visit our site.


48. Robert Horry

If you look at the career statistics or even the season stats of Robert Horry, you would not think that he belongs on this list at all. However, the man known as “Big Shot Rob” won seven NBA Championships with three different teams, and was known for always performing in the clutch. It was not a misnomer, as constantly when the need was at its greatest, Horry was at his best.  Those seven championships were no accident and though his stats do not reflect it, this was a player, everybody wanted to have on their team.

15. Penny Hardaway

His overall career statistics may not reflect a Hall of Fame resume, but in the late 90’s, one of the most dynamic and marketable professional Basketball players in the world was an unusually tall Point Guard named Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway. Penny was a two time First Team NBA Selection and was the running mate of Shaquille O’Neal who collectively took the Orlando Magic to relevance and was part of Dream Team II. Unfortunately, Hardaway succumbed to injuries early in his career, and a serious one to his knee in 1997 took away his superstar status on the court, and he struggled to be average for the rest of his career. Still, his overall popularity cannot be ignored, and Penny Hardaway might very well be a first ballot inductee to the "Hall of What Could Have Been."

Ignacio/Nacho

Nacho
A film that still befuddles us in some capacity, we still can’t figure out whether we like “Nacho Libre”. Jack Black is a favorite for many, and the film did not tank at the box office, but it was not exactly loved by critics, and it did not take Mexican wrestling to another level in popularity. As it stands now, Nacho Libre does not look like it has the legs to be a cult favorite, and without that status, it seems difficult to see Nacho making the Hall.
