Welcome to the call for nominees to the People’s Basketball Sim League Hall of Fame. The rules are simple. Nominate a player you think deserves to be mentioned among the greatest players to play in this league. Championships, all-star appearances, funny picture blogs: all of these things could mean enough to warrant a nomination. Each GM is allowed one nomination. There’s only one requirement: the player has to be retired from the PBSL. There is no time restriction on retirement – as soon as a player retires, they are eligible for the HOF.
So what’s to stop you from just sending Pavel Podkolzine to the Hall of Fame because you like his name? Well, first of all, he’s not retired yet, so you’re clearly not paying attention. But what else is going to stop you? I am.
I will review the nominations and put out a ballot of those I think qualify to be elected to the Hall. And then you vote on those players to see if they get enshrined.
-Nominees on the ballot with over 75% yes votes get into the HOF
-Nominees on the ballot with over 50% yes votes (but under 75%) are automatically considered for next year's ballot ("free" nomination that doesn't cost any owner a yearly nomination).
Nominations open now and will stay open until the end of the season. The ballot will be released that weekend and voting will last until the season is over. Reply to this post with your nomination.
Here are the retirees from this year:
Here are notable free agents who retired:6/20/2011 Jazz SG Ray Allen retires
6/20/2011 Nets C Shaquille O'Neal retires
Gary Payton received over 50% of the vote and is automatically up for a revote. I have decided that if Gary fails to get nominated this year, he will only have one last chance of voting next season (if he gets over 50% again). That way we aren't constantly voting on Gary Payton until the end of time. I will post his poll along with any other nominees we may have. This should be a big nominee pool, guys.Shawn Kemp

YOU WILL RECEIVE 1 POINT FOR NOMINATING SOMEONE FOR THE HALL OF FAME. IF THE PLAYER YOU NOMINATE GETS VOTED INTO THE HALL OF FAME, YOU GET ANOTHER POINT.
