Remember when some media people would float the idea of Curry going home to Charlotte at some point in his career? Was never going to happen and now Mike campaigning against it.

That's Jordan being retarded.

Everyone and their Mother gets into the Basketball HOF...

Steph has already plenty the resume to get into those not so hallowed doors.

I mean, is he saying Steph has to continually play at a high level for the next 5 years to surpass Dave Bing?

I miss the old school game at times, but I don't get why these greats are so sensitive about the current players. It's so hard for them to admit how good they are.

It's honestly pretty sad that the old guard can't embrace the current players but instead are just so intimated by them.

They, MJ more than any of the others, are just scared that these players can go down in history like the old school guys. And it's crazy that MJ is the most insecure when he should obviously be the least worried about that.

It is all they have left. Put Curry on Stockton and Malones Jazz and Jordan has a few fewer rings.

Duh, you have to retire before you're eligible for the HOF.

Or have attended UNC, and then MJ thinks you are.

unbeatable in a pickup game back in 2013. Jordan said he wouldn't, sticking with Hakeem Olajuwon, Magic Johnson, Scottie Pippen and James Worthy on the list. 


Look, I grew up rooting for Magic, Worthy and the Showtime Lakers, but Worthy shouldn't sniff an alltime list.

MJ also played in a much different era. Obviously, Steph Curry will make the HOF unless something goes extremely wrong in his latter years.

It's kind of like the NFL. Old school players are obviously skeptical of players' stats nowadays. If you watched the NBA before the 00s it was much rougher on the court.

Worthy was a great player.

People think because Magic gave him the ball two inches from the basket he was just all fastbreak.

I remember one playoff series when Magic went down and Worthy averaged 45 points a game, creating all the shots on his own.

Did he excel as a gunner coming down the wing to Magic's passes? Sure.

But he was also an all-around player that could score without Magic. Plus as maybe the best finisher ever you'd want him in a pickup game.

He can’t say he is a HOFamer because as an owner and executive it can be interpreted as dampening.

Think Magic and Ben Simmons.
