Put the BHOF in Canada?

I Like It! As long as it's between Windsor and Toronto I'm cool with the whole Canadian gig. Maybe they should make it a traveling hall for 6 months of every year, like an art exhibit. Take the show to "everyman". I mean c'mon, who from anyone but the east coast would actually make plans to visit Springfield?

Hey 'Cro what's the haps on drubbing internet '98? Old '98 still beats the hell out'a the Millenium Edition...

I'm not sure why, but I don't care about any Hall of Fame in any sport. It seems really boring going to look at a bat or a pair of short shorts in a glass case.

Well, I know of him. Think he was a point guard whose career lasted about as long as Gordie Howe's. Might be wrong, but hey I took a shot.

Going back to the chicken-or-egg issue of fan interest, is that the Hall's fault or the NBA's fault? Have the people who are making billions out of basketball put enough back into educating fans? Why do we expect them to suddenly respect (ahem) old-fogey memories of Bernard King? Might as well hope for a Harry Boykoff retrospective.

My feeling is, it would be easier to change the existing HOF than it would be to create and maintain a viable alternative. Perhaps that means adding a sponsored "NBA Gallery" where living pros who are already HOF members vote on a wider circle of honorees using a modified MVP voting system.

BTW, if you're looking for a vacation idea, the great thing about Cooperstown and Springfield is that they are quite close. A hell of a weekend. Leave your computer home and go see real stuff.

Anyone remember the Pistons hall of fame from the late 90's? It was where the Singular club bar is now. Used to have the trophies on display, news clippings, uniforms and video highlights of significant games.

Just could not let that space stand without selling something in it.
