Hall of Fame

[secondroundbust]

Hey guys hope you’re all enjoying the holidays! I’ve been thinking over an idea after my research for the GOAT article, feel free to disagree or give your opinion

To add to the history and “lore” of the league, we could implement an actual Hall of Fame ballot? The idea is a group of 10 or so players nominated each year, and we vote, with for example, an 75-85% vote (20-23 of 27 total votes) needed to make the Hall. Each GM has 4 votes or something along those lines. Could even allow for retired GM’s to vote as well. Each player has a certain amount of eligibility, etc. etc. We could hold it during the time between the deadline and the playoffs, as that’s most likely the biggest area of dead time especially for non playoff bound teams.

Let me know! I don’t want to come into the league and start trying to change a good thing, but could be a fun way to remember teams and players of the past, and through that, the GM’s that helped shape them! And I don’t mind being the one to run it/keep track of it

Ex.

2031 CSL HALL OF FAME BALLOT
Player [Vote]
Paul George [26/27 (96%) YES]
Kemba Walker [24/27 (89%) YES]
Andre Drummond [18/27 (66%) NO]
Blake Griffin [22/27 (81%) YES]

No disrespect to Drummond

Let me know your opinions and happy holidays all

Also thanks to Andre for the suggestion on the timeline of when to do it!

I like this idea, plus it will give us a good reason to keep track of league history and accolades!

Sure let's do it

this is a great idea! as we approach the 10-year anniversary of this league's creation, it's great to be able to look back at its history and honoring the stars of yesterday.

(I joined the oldCSL in December 2013, so I've known a lot of you fools for 10 years already!!!)

Great idea mate, definitely like it and like the idea of preserving our history so we can look back.

CSL Hall of Fame Rules

Just revisiting this from last season. These are my proposed rules, however, as I'm one of the newer members of the league, I am absolutely okay with and encourage your input to alter/add or remove some of these rules. I tried to stick as closely to the NBA's rules but we can modify it to our liking.

- Players must be retired for at least 4 years before becoming eligible for the Hall.

- Each GM receives 10 votes to spread across the nominees.

- Players must receive at least 75% of votes to be voted in.

- Players have 10 years of eligibility (after the 4 year waiting period), if they fail to gain the necessary votes by that time, they will unfortunately miss out on the HOF.

- Former GM's are eligible to vote

I'm not any good with creating websites or programs, so currently the voting process would be very bare bones (dm me the players you vote for) although if anyone would like to help we could use the same format as the end of year awards. I don't mind either way!

Any rules that you'd like to add/change/remove, let me know and once we solidify them, I'll put out the first list of nominees!

I think this is a great idea and I’d bet someone here can make a voting system pretty easy for you (we could also probably put it on the forum vote too)!

I’d be in support of this!
