hall-of-famers
Sport's immortalized elite
Hall-of-famers are people inducted into a hall of fame—an institution honoring distinguished figures in a particular field.
Sports halls of fame are most common, but the term extends to music, business, and other domains.
Figuratively, a hall-of-famer is anyone considered among the best: She's a hall-of-famer when it comes to closing deals.
