re: Is Chris Bosh a future HOF?

So you are a heat fan then. I understand now.

I just told you what I was a fan of. Should I copy/paste it again for you?

quote:

Does everyone who averages approximately 20 and 10 deserve to be in the hall of fame because James Worthy is in?

---

Why would I answer any question of yours when you've dodged a question I asked about 4 times now???


Do me a favor, list all of the 3rd options in history you know that averaged 19/9 on 50% shooting. Let me know what you come up with.

quote:

---

And I read through your avoidance and assumed the correct answer.

---

You assumed incorrectly.

What did I avoid exactly? Funny, considering how many posts you made and you're still avoiding my question I asked you.

If you wanna know exactly what I meant, go read it again. THAT is what I meant.


/cue another post with ZERO reasoning for your position.

Is Zach Randolph a hall of famer?

Answer my question and I'll start answering yours.

This is ridiculous.


I also didn't realize Zach Randolph was Memphis's 3rd option. It must be something only you and those guys who know anything about basketball realize.

0 percent chance

I have answered several of your questions.

Can you try an answer with reason and logic and not "well any fan knows this", since that isn't an actual answer. You never once explained a real rational reason why Bosh doesn't compare favorabl to Worthy. If you did, show me where.

quote:

---

You sure do post in a lot of threads about the Heat not to be a fan.

---

You sure do whine a lot about my fandom. Kind of odd.

quote:

---

Bosh may get to the hall.. but only due to his teammates..

---

This is true, like so many others guys in the Hall, who aren't bashed for it(not that you bashed him).

quote:

---

You sure do whine a lot about my fandom. Kind of odd.

---

No whining, you just said you weren't a heat fan, but it really is the only logical assumption.

quote:

---

You never once explained a real rational reason why Bosh doesn't compare favorabl to Worthy.

---

I never said he didn't compare favorably to Worthy stats wise. My point all along is that stats can be misleading.

Also, I never alleged anything about Worthy. You found a HOFer who played in a different era for which you could compare favorably stats wise to Bosh and want to dismiss everything else not related to the stat comparison to Worthy as illogical.

When I show you contemporaries that are not HOFers who compare favorably to Bosh, you ignore the question saying I haven't answered yours. While in fact, I was answering your question by illustrating the point that stats aren't everything when determining an NBA HOFer and looking at Zach Randolph is one of many examples to prove that.

quote:

---

So because I make arguments and back them up with reason and logic, THAT is the assumpion? That logic doesn't really make sense IMO.

---

So are you a Miami fan?

quote:

---

No shite, I've only been asking you about that for 2 pages now.

---

That's my point. It's a strawman argument. It is your argument designed around your flawed premise that if someone can compare somewhat favorable to James Worthy stat wise, then they are a HOFer.

quote:

---

I actually answered it twice,

---

I'll re-read, I never saw an answer.

quote:

---

while you're still ignoring mine, but ok.

---

lol, I have answered your question numerous times in numerous ways. How in the frick can you say I am ignoring it?


ETA: I re-read, you haven't answered my question: Is Randolph a HOFer?
Are you a Heat fan?

quote:

---

not really a bad thing, as Abur-Rahim was an All star caliber player

---

I know, but no one would have ever mistaken Abdur-Rahim as a potential HoF'er either.

quote:

---

Bosh would have to start sucking next year to make that a good comparison

Rahim fizzled out at 27.

---

Which is why I said "he is going to have to do a Hell of a lot more to garner serious consideration."

quote:

---

Good, we can bring this a little closer to home. Is David West a HOFer?

---

West's career numbers are inferior to Bosh. He's never had production as high as Bosh, and his production as a 2nd option is about the same as Bosh as a 3rd option.

Again, production/efficiency trumps perception every time, or at least it should.

quote:

---

ETA: You still haven't answered the one about Randolph either.

---

I'll make this easier for you. Any player who can routinely average 22/10 on 50% shooting, then be a 3rd option and average 19/9 and(again this entire debate was on an assumption) while winning multiple titles will definitely have production that is definitely comparable to other like HOFers.

I hope that clears it up.
