Our Notinhalloffame.com Basketball List has been updated. Vince Carter now #1.

Days after we completed our amendments of those to consider for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, we finished those our revisions on the Notinhalloffame.com Basketball List. The first thing that we obviously do with the Basketball List is remove those who were inducted. This took out: Dirk Nowitzki Dwyane Wade Pau Gasol Tony Parker We then added those who are worthy who are now eligible for the first time in 2024. Nowitzki, Wade, Gasol and Parker were ranked 1,2,3 and 5 respectively, which means that we will be seeing a significant change in our top ten. With those remaining, we factored votes and comments that came from all of you, to alter ranks. The entire list (115 in total) can be found here, but we always present our top ten! As is often the case, the #1 spot belongs to a first-year eligible player, and it is no exception now, as Vince Carter is on our mountaintop. While there are obvious flaws in his candidacy, namely his leadership in the first half of his career, this is a man who cemented basketball in Canada, made the Raptors, and was an eight-time All-Star.

A former #1, and member of the 25th Anniversary Team, Max Zaslofsky, moves up two spots to #2. Zaslofsky was one of the best players in the late 1940s. At #3, is Larry Foust, who like Zaslofsky would need to enter via a Direct-Elect Veterans Committee. Rising from #8, Foust has his highest ranking yet, and he brings to the table eight All-Star selections from the 1950s. Chauncey Billups returns to the top five, climbing two to #4. The former NBA Champion (and Finals MVP) with the Detroit Pistons went to five All-Stars and won World Championship Gold with the United States. At #5 is Shawn Kemp, who has encountered some legal issues lately, moved up from #7. Kemp was a six-time All-Star, five of which were with the Seattle SuperSonics, and he was also a three-time Second Team All-NBA player. Like Billups, he won World Championship Gold while representing the U.S.. Three-time All-Star and four-time All-Defensive player, Buck Williams, moves from #9 to #6. Previous Finalist, Kevin Johnson, shot…
