LeBron James
Carmelo Anthony
Kevin Durant
James Harden
Russell Westbrook
Chris Paul


My first thought was aside from LeBron most of these guys just had great careers and only James is a lock. But they are all top 40 in scoring (1, 9, 20, 25, 27, 37) and the only retired player in the top 40 not currently in the Hall of Fame is Vince Carter who is likely to get voted in shortly. You think anyone else is worthy?

All of them will get in. It's the basketball hall of fame.

They are all locks for HOF. It is the easiest HOF of the big 3 sports to be induced into by far

I have a hard time seeing any of these guys not get in. I'd say LBJ, Melo, KD, and CP3 are locks. Harden and Westbrook I'd be shocked if they didn't get in as well.

Lol I assume this is a joke.

Every single one of the players you listed will easily make HOF

The think about the basketball HOF is that it's solely the NBA. It's the Naismith HOF which is why it includes women, college coaches, and impactful college players. Example, Grant Hill...would have been great in pros but career was riddled with injuries but arguably a HOFer beacuse of his college career.

I don't know if the NBA will ever adopt a NBA-centric HOF, but if they did all the names you mentioned are locks regardless.

LeBron, KD, Harden, Westbrook are all MVP winners. That alone makes them easy locks.

Chris is also an easy lock. He was considered the best pg in the league for multiple years.

The one with the least likely chance of getting in is Melo. But even he is top 10 all time scoring. So he's basically a lock as well.

In what world is Kevin Durant not a hall of famer?

All of those players you listed are significantly better than Vince Carter. If you think he’s going to get in, all of those guys easily will.

Are you a waterhead, son? All of these guys are likely to get in on the first ballot.

All of those listed will get in and you can add Curry, Anthony Davis, Jokic, Gianis, Embiid, Leonard and Lillard to that list. I think all of them get in with ease.

For the Basketball HOF the better discussion would be around players like Paul George or Draymond Green. Or the young, how much more do they need to do to get in, guys like Jason Tatum, Luka, Mitchell, Shae, Trae, Booker...
