Can Anyone Beat the Golden State Warriors for the NBA Championship?

Can anyone beat Golden State for the NBA Championship? As we creep towards the NBA post season the same question exists that we had when it began: Can anyone beat the Golden State Warriors? With any sport upsets happen (just ask Leicester City in 2016) so of course it can be done but there are only a handful of realistic possibilities: Last year the Houston Rockets took the Warriors to seven games in the Western Conference Finals and were up three games to two before going down to defeat. Probable MVP James Harden has never been better and is averaging over 36 Points…
Shane Lechler Retires

Committee Chairman
The career of arguably the best Punter ever has officially come to an end as Shane Lechler officially retired today. Lechler played collegiately at Texas A&M where he would become one of the few Punters to be drafted as he selected in the 5thRound in 2000 by the Oakland Raiders, a team that through having Ray Guy in the 1970’s knew the value of having an elite Punter. As a rookie, Lechler would be named a First Team All Pro and finished second in Yards/Punt. This type of performance would be consistent of what Lechler would do as a Raider. In his 13…
The 2019 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony is in the books

Committee Chairman
One day… One day we will attend the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony as it was a bar discussion about inductees (more so who wasn’t in) that was the genesis for Notinhalloffame.com in the first place. But that day wasn’t yesterday and from multiple sources here is what we know transpired at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The show kicked off with Stevie Nicks performing “Stand Back”, which got the crowd on their feet only for their jaws to drop at that level when Don Henley came out on stage where the duo sang “Leather and Lace”. One…

Committee Chairman
Regular visitors to Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 players ever of every MLB, NHL, NFL and NBA team. Once that is done, our plan is to then look at how they honor their past players and executives by way of retired numbers, franchise halls of fame etc. As such, it is important to us that last night the San Antonio Spurs retired the #20 of Manu Ginobili. In what now has to be considered an absolute steal, San Antonio drafted the native of Argentina 57thoverall in 1999 and he would join the team in 2002 after…
Tim Hardaway feels that his 2007 anti-gay rant keeps him out of the Hall
Mar 28, 2019
Written by
Committee Chairman
In an interview with Hoops Hype, Tim Hardaway stated that the reason that he was not in the Basketball Hall of Fame was due to an interview he had with Dan LeBetard which was anti-gay. He had this to say to Hoops Hype: "Well, you know, the reason I'm not in is because of what I said in 2007 about gay people. That's why I'm not in right now, and I understand it. I hurt a lot of people's feelings and it came off the wrong way and it was really bad of me to say that. Since then, I've turned…

Committee Chairman
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony is rapidly approaching and it remains the biggest Hall of Fame where many people who are considered for or are already in openly trash. As such it is news to us when a musician who we think has a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame worthy resume has an opinion as to whether they should be in or whether they even care is news to us. The latest person to have to discuss their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame credentials is RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan, who in an interview with Rolling Stone…

Written by
Committee Chairman
The WWE has announced that the Hart Foundation (Bret “Hit Man” Hart & Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart) will be inducted into their Hall of Fame. This has been speculated over the last month and it was made official today. Both Hart and Neidhart joined the World Wrestling Federation in 1985 as part of the deal where Vince McMahon bought out Stampede Wrestling. They were not paired together when they arrived as Neidhart was put with Mr. Fuji as his manager and Bret was a babyface character but within a few months they were a heel duo under the management of Jimmy Hart.…

Written by
Committee Chairman
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. Drafted in the 2ndround out of the University of Arizona in 2010, Gronkowski had a good rookie season highlighted by a three touchdown game against Pittsburgh. 2011 would see him named to the First Team All Pro…
