gold star for USAHOF

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

The new 61 to 70:

61. Dale Ellis
62. Randy Smith
63. Michael Finley
64. Rod Strickland
65. Jermaine O’Neal
66. Terry Porter
67. Danny Ainge
68. Antawn Jamison
69. Sidney Wicks
70. Jeff Mullins

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.

76. Jeff Mullins

Jeff Mullins was a legend at Duke and was so highly respected that the two-time All-ACC player was named the ACC Athlete of the Year in 1964.  The St. Louis Hawks used their 6th Overall Pick to take the Shooting Guard, but they barely used him and it looked like he was a bust.   His career was resurrected when he was taken by Chicago in the Expansion Draft and was traded to the San Francisco, and as a Warrior he proved he not only belonged but could thrive.

Mullins, who barely averaged five Points per Game with St. Louis, improved over the next two years to 12.9 and 18.9 and became one of their top-scoring options.  Averaging over 20 Points per Game four years in a row (1968-69 to 1971-72) Mullins was an All-Star in the first three.  Mullins was an above-average passer who used his excellent court vision and knew his role in Golden State’s system.  He achieved his ultimate goal in 1975 when he was still a productive player and aided the Warriors in winning that season’s championship.

He retired the year after, averaging 16.2 Points per Game over 12 Seasons.
