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 next ten of the 2024 Basketball List, which you can comment on and vote on:

The new 101 to 110:

101. Norm Van Lier
102. Alvan Adams
103. Derek Harper
104. Zach Randolph
105. Archie Clark
106. Eddie Johnson
107. Glenn Roberts
108. Mookie Blaylock
109. Hedo Turkoglu
110. Michael Redd

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.

Archie Clark was chosen by the Los Angeles Lakers 37^th overall from Minnesota in 1966.  With that draft spot, it can be ascertained that he took the NBA by surprise when he averaged over 10 Points per Game and was third in Rookie of the Year voting.

One of the early utilizers of the crossover dribble, Clark was often referred to as “Shake and Bake.” Stylistically, he has one of the sweetest shots in the game and was an All-Star in his second season. However, he was traded to Philadelphia on the other coast, where he was part of the large deal that sent Wilt Chamberlain the other way.

Clark did not assimilate well in his first season with the Sixers but regained his scoring touch the years after with 19.7 and 21.3 PPG seasons, respectively.  After one game in the 1971/72 campaign, Clark was traded to the Baltimore Bullets (later Capitol Bullets), where he had the season of his life.  The Guard averaged 25.2 Points per Game, was an All-Star for the second time, and earned his first All-NBA Selection.  After another good year, Clark wound down his career with a season each for Seattle and Detroit.
