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

The new 51 to 60:

51. Don Ohl
52. Otis Birdsong
53. Bill Bridges
54. Jeff Hornacek
55. Paul Seymour
56. Glenn Robinson
57. Fred Brown
58. Carlos Boozer
59. Terry Dischinger
60. Marcus Camby

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.

Paul Seymour is one of those players who did not look like much of an athlete and did not move like one, but used every pound of his undersized frame and every brain cell in his head to carve out a long career in basketball.

Playing his college ball at the University of Toledo, Seymour began his pro career with the Toledo Jeeps, the Baltimore Bullets of the NBL, and then the Syracuse Nationals, where he was with them when they were absorbed into the NBA.  He played for Syracuse throughout the 1950s where his leadership and work ethic made him a valuable commodity, especially on the distribution and defensive side of the ball.  A three-time All-Star (1953-55), Seymour was in the top five in Assists in all of those years, with a respectable scoring stat of 14 Points per Game over that period.  Not only was Seymour a good player, he played a large part along with eventual Hall of Famer Dolph Schayes in Syracuse, winning their only title in Upstate New York.

Following their title, Seymour became a player/coach and gradually reduced his playing time for the club's benefit. He retired as a player in 1960 but coached various teams for another decade.
