this is just discussing players who are either still playing, very recently retired, or semi recently retired. i think we can break these down into different groups

you have your sure thing, no questions asked, locks:

kobe
shaq
tim duncan
kevin garnett
lebron
steve nash
paul pierce
ray allen
dwade
dirk
jason kidd

your should make it, but arent 100% locks

pau gasol
tony parker
allen iverson
chris bosh
melo

players who are on their way and will make it unless something goes very wrong towards the end of their career

chris paul
kevin durant
dwight

then we have our borderline players

vince carter
tracy mcgrady
ben wallace
shawn marion
amare stoudemire
grant hill

which of our six borderline players are in?

If you were ever the best player in the league for an extended period of time you should get in. He was special.

I don't think any of the borderline players belong.

carter never won anything. Either did TMac.

also I'd say Parker is a lock. And Ginobili will make it as well for his contributions to the international game.

Dwight is by no means heading to the hall for certain.

Dwight is borderline, prob not in

Gasol is borderline, prob not in


Marion less than no chance

Stoudemire no chance

McGrady no chance
Carter no chance

Iverson is a no question asked lock to make it.

Tony Parker probably should. Pau, Bosh and Melo i can't see making it. Maybe Pau and Bosh, certainly not Melo.

CP3 is on a track to be a lock, just on stats with his assists and steals.
If KD wins a championship, he's a no question lock

Cant see Dwight making it. What has he done?

Vince Carter should make it. He's top 6 all time in 3 pointers made, 40% career 3pt%, and he has the best dunk ever, and the best dunk contest ever, and is the best dunker ever.
Outside of Kobe/Shaq/Lebron, people will still remember specific things Vince did 20 years from now more than anyone else on this list of locks.

Wouldn't bother me if McGrady made it.

The rest are a hell no

Vince Carter and TMac are in

Amare is out

Ben Wallace is out

The rest are too close to call it IMO

Pretty good list but I think Tony Parker is a lock. Manu will probably be in as well.

Maybe I'm too high on coffee, but Vince Carter, Tony Parker, and Manu are locks to me.

You are mentally ill to think tony Parker isn't a lock

So the basketball hall of fame is much easier to get into than people realize. Dwight is a lock, and it's not even worth discussing.

Does anyone think Yao could make it as an international or contributor to the game? Possibly a longshot, but he has been huge for the popularity of the sport in China.

I saw 8 pages and got excited to read this. Seriously, frick yall rocket & peltards.

Dwight Howard is a HOF player. It doesn't matter that no good centers were in his era, he has been the best and most consistent

People keep saying yes to Bosh but leaving out Gasol? Do people forget his contributions to the Lakers? He's a shoe-in
