    I am sorry. This is ridiculous. Rob doesn't belong in the HoF, no matter how many rings he has.

    I was iffy on Copper (yeah, don't @ me... I don't care), but this is even worse. Marc is dubious as well.

    HoF lost all meaning and I have no idea why.

    Horry was arguably the best role player of his generation who was an integral part of SEVEN Championships Squads, played both sides of the floor, AND made many clutch shots in the playoffs that enabled his teams to move on.
    Marc, on the other hand…

    I think Marc is much more crazy. Or even Melo.
    But yeah everyone is a HoF. The fact they want to have 4 or 5 or more names being named every year says it all. It's just a reflection of today's society and business side of everything, they just want to keep branding the HoF as a thing and have it being a thing every year when it should be the most exclusive club in sports. It's impossible to have 1 new name every year, much less 4 or 5.
    I don't even follow it, if it wasn't for replying to your message it would have slipped my mind

    THis is the guy I've always wanted. Loved him at Kentucky and him as a 3rd guy who'd be ridiculous.
    He's the guy you give unprotected 1sts for right here - Lakers become instant title contenders.

    Sactown still thinks they are our rival. They are never trading a “star” player to the Lakers.
    The money works if it’s Russel and Rui going out, but then we become even more thin in the front court. I would still do it, but again, I don’t think the Kings would.

    Great game by the Lakers! Regarding the viewership problems in the NBA, the Lakers putting games only on a specific channel that not all cable providers carry is stupid. Sure they probably generate more profit in the short term but stuff like that is really hurting the league. For many years, you could catch at least 50% of the games on Channel 9. My family couldn't afford cable for the other 50%, but those games were on Prime Ticket, just regular cable. Now they have this fancy channel, which is nice if you have Spectrum, but I think they loose a lot of viewership statistics that way.

    dwight and carmelo are no-brainers. horry is not a HOF'er no matter how many rings he won. no one who averaged 7-5-2 throughout their career belongs anywhere near the HOF

    gasol has the accolades and the international success so he should get in at some point

    I'd hate to see the Rockets bring him home. My wallet would probably get a little lighter.

    Gasol’s career stats:
    14ppg, 7boards, 3 blk
    Those are nowhere near HOF stays either.

    no, but remember it's the "basketball HOF" and not the NBA HOF. which is why i think his international accolades get him in

    Yes, I understand, but he was never a dominating beast in the international games either.
    It’s cool, I’m not all that invested in these “awards” that have broad requirements.

    He is 2 times World cup champion and won 2 times Olympics silver medal.
    In the EuroBasket, he has won two titles, a silver medal, and two bronze medals.So it's actually not based on his stats ,but on all his accomplishments
    Btw Pau only won 1 World cup,but he is 3 times Euro basket champion
