• 'Showboat' Hall Nominated for Two Halls of Fame

More than three decades ago, Detroit native Bobby "Showboat" Hall's 27-year career with the Harlem Globetrotters came to an end. Unfortunately, time has caused his record accomplishments to be lost behind history's opaque shadow. Thanks to a pair of nominations - one to the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame and another to the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame - Hairs storied career has moved to the shadow's edge and is only inches (or a few letters of support) from the brilliant light of modern-day recognition and enshrinement in these institutions of immortalization. Amazingly, in the rich history of basketball in Detroit, only two Motor City high school products - King High's George "Iceman" Gervin and Austin High's Dave DeBusschere - have been enshrined in the Naismith Hall of Fame. Even mor...

• Telford's Telescope: Musings On Halls of Fame

I've discontinued my show on WCHB to have more time to become part of promising new superintendent Connie Calloway's Cavalry, which I will relish rallying. Meanwhile, there's one hall I confess I wouldn't mind entering. That's the PSL Hall of Fame that longtime coach Andy Rio and I have been trying to get established. (I coached PSL champions and came out of Denby to outrun Olympic champions as a WSU All-American.) It would be nice to have my name emblazoned next to those of Eddie Tolan, Henry Carr, Will Robinson, Lorenzo Wright, Sammy Gee, Ralph Simpson, Spencer Haywood, Glenn Doughty, Marshall Dill, Ron Phillips, Elliot Tabron, "Big Daddy" Lipscomb, Woody Thomas, Brenda Gatlin, Nick Cheolas, Lou Scott, Roy Dues, Walt Jenkins, Darnell Hall, Wendy Truvillion, Jerome Bettis, Jalen Rose, ...
