#SLOE: People's Basketball Sim League

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.

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:

6/20/2011 Jazz SG Ray Allen retires
6/20/2011 Nets C Shaquille O'Neal retires

Here are notable free agents who retired:

Shawn Kemp
Jalen Rose
Glenn Robinson
Zydrunas Ilgauskas

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.

Jalen Rose (placeholder for Shaq if 2 are allowed).

So tempted to take Kemp but I'll leave him for Ben.

Sorry Shaq

Placeholder for the GOAT

Hey placeholders, you have until midnight tonight to get your nominations in

Can I do it this weekend? I was driving out of town last night. I mistakenly thought it was due before the playoffs started.

Fine. Since no one did it, the new deadline is Sunday at midnight. Central time. Give me nominations people.

Gonna work on mine after the saints game, sorry raby.

I nominate Big Z, Zydrunaus Ilgauskas.

He played 14 years in the league; Nine All-Stars appearances, 1 All-League 2nd team, 4 All-League 3rd team; He led the Rockets to the Finals in 2004;

Please Vote Big Z for Hall of Fame.

Where is Kemp?

No one nominated him. I think from now on I'm just going to pick the people I think are worthy, and they can be voted on by you guys. Making people post a nomination for a guy probably doesn't make a whole bunch of sense.
