The problem with running a Hall of Fame-related website is that many of the big ones we cover all have announcements within months of each other.  The backbone of what we do is list-related, resulting in a long push to revise what we already have, specifically now with our Football and Basketball Lists.

At present, we have a minor update as we have completed the ninth ten of the 2024 Basketball List, which you can comment on and vote on:

The new 81 to 90:

81. Latrell Sprewell
82. Dick Garmaker
83. Dan Majerle
84. Zydrunas Ilgauskas
85. Reggie Theus
86. Johnny Green
87. Mel Hutchins
88. Shareef Abdur-Rahim
89. Ron Harper
90. Wayman Tisdale

Rankings are impacted annually based on your comments and votes.

Thank you all for your patience. We will soon unveil more changes to the football and basketball lists.

Ron Harper knew that his stats would plummet when he signed with the Chicago Bulls in 1994.  Before he signed that Free Agent deal with the Bulls, Harper had four 20-plus PPG seasons in the NBA, including the year before he joined Chicago.  Harper was expected to score in droves for the Los Angeles Clippers (his previous team), but on the star-laden Bulls, he didn't have to.

Ron Harper is best known for winning five NBA Championships, three with the Chicago Bulls and two with the Los Angeles Lakers.  He brought those teams a veteran presence and a high basketball IQ, but this was very different than what he was asked to do when he was with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Ron Harper was a great basketball player who knew what it took to win.  The greatest player ever to come from the Miami of Ohio, Harper was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers and was the perfect complimentary player on some sensational professional teams.  Unlike most complimentary players, Harper was once a superstar.  He averaged 24 points and 11 rebounds in his collegiate career and was second in Rookie of the Year voting.  Injuries cut back on his skill but Harper did not give in and became a huge part of the Bulls teams in the late 90’s.  He then followed Coach Phil Jackson to Los Angeles to the Lakers and won two more titles.  13,000 career NBA points tells you he could play and five rings tell you he was a winner.  What more do you need?
