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

The new 91 to 100:

91. Christian Laettner
92. Clifford Robinson
93. Richard Hamilton
94. Michael Ray Richardson
95. Kenny Sears
96. Fat Lever
97. Sam Lacey
98. Bob Boozer
99. Steve Francis
100. Sam Perkins

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.

A mega-star at Duke and a member of the 1992 United States Dream Team, Christian Laettner did not have the same career he had in the professional ranks as he did in the college ones, but the third overall draft pick in 1992 still made a mark in Minnesota.  Laettner’s numbers were at his best in Minnesota where he averaged a healthy 17.2 Points per Game Average.

97. Christian Laettner

Christian Laettner is one of the best 10 college players ever leading the mighty Duke Blue Devils to two NCAA championships in a row.  He played the greatest game ever and hit the biggest shot in college basketball history.  He was the only college member of the Dream Team.  So why is he so low?  Well, he did not have the most stellar pro career and is thought of as being soft and was the not exactly popular.  Can you say OVER-RATED?  As the Hall recognizes college and pro achievements, his rank here is justified but as he was elected into the college hall in 2010, the chances of him getting in the regular Hall are getting slimmer by the day.
