[Barney Sedran @Barney_Sedran]

I am inducted posthumously as the shortest basketball Hall of Famer #ProudToBeABaller #ThisIsWhyWePlay (‘89)

[Barney Sedran @Barney_Sedran]

R.I.P me aged 72… I led a successful life and career, winning multiple awards and being a league leader in multiple seasons. (‘64)

[Barney Sedran @Barney_Sedran]

I retire this year at the age of 47. I live another 25 years of retirement before passing away. (‘38)

[Barney Sedran @Barney_Sedran]

I go back to coaching my most successful team so far, the Whirlwinds, in the Metropolitan league in 1936 to 1938 (‘38)

[Barney Sedran @Barney_Sedran]

I decide I am not quite done with basketball JUST yet. I coach the “Wonder Five” to only lose four games in three years. (‘32)

[Barney Sedran @Barney_Sedran]

Woah DAMN @CharlesLindyhop ! Back at it again with the nonstop flight! (‘27)

[Barney Sedran @Barney_Sedran]

I retire from professional basketball at age 35 (I don’t mean to brag, but I won 6 championships). (‘26)

[Barney Sedran @Barney_Sedran]

I end my career with the Cleveland Rosenblums. Scoring 7.3 points per game and 2.4 assists per game. (‘25)

[Barney Sedran @Barney_Sedran]

I get traded with a few more teams before my career is over such as the Trenton Tigers, Mohawk Indians and the New York Giants, (‘22-’24)

[Barney Sedran @Barney_Sedran]

My career is slowly coming to an end, my stats drop dramatically in just a few seasons. (‘22)

[Barney Sedran @Barney_Sedran]

I lead Albany to the New York State League Title (‘21)

[Barney Sedran @Barney_Sedran]

Even though there is no champion against the Celtics, we get a record crowd of 10,000, showing the popularity of the sport! (‘20)

[Barney Sedran @Barney_Sedran]

The season goes well, but sadly there won’t be a Whirlwinds vs. Celtics champion due to trades between the Whirlwinds and the Celtics. (‘20)

[Barney Sedran @Barney_Sedran]

I have decided to take my talents to the New York Whirlwinds, along with Marty Friedman & Nat Holman! They’ll surely accept me there! (‘20)

[Barney Sedran @Barney_Sedran]

So many trades going on right now, teams like the Bridgeport Blue Ribbons don’t appreciate my skillz. (‘19)

[Barney Sedran @Barney_Sedran]

In one year, I get traded from the Passaic Athletic Association to the Turners Falls Athletics and back! (‘19)

[Barney Sedran @Barney_Sedran]

Me and the Albany Senators seem to be working well together so we stick together for a while. (‘18)

[Barney Sedran @Barney_Sedran]

This time it isn’t that the team doesn’t fit me, it’s that I don’t fit the Scranton Miners! Now ain’t that just baloney! (‘18)

[Barney Sedran @Barney_Sedran]

In 1917 at the age of 27, I average a career high 24.2 points and 5.5 assists through 53 games. (‘17)
