Current NBA players that are locks for the HOF

[diogee]

Nice post Data. Very informative.

Here's the real question: Who thinks Robert Horry will be a first time inductee to the Hall of Fame?

[DrunkenLullaby]

Mcgrady?
Carter?

Hell no and hell no.

[mofome]

kg is in
howard obviously has the makings and should be there without any grant hill type injuries.

No chance for that if you ask me...sure he has made some clutch shots but not an all around first timer in my opinion.

Here's the real question: Who thinks Robert Horry will be a first time inductee to the Hall of Fame?

some people say hes in and they're serious. his late game heroics will be lost on people by the time hes up.

[brock]

Shaq
Kidd
Garnett
Nash
Allen
Iverson
Bryant
Duncan
Pierce
Nowitski

All have been in the league for 10 years or more

This list looks good to me

[harsh506]

Horry is second on the all-time list of three-pointers made in the playoffs, behind only Reggie Miller. He also holds the record for three-pointers all-time in the NBA Finals with 53, having eclipsed Michael Jordan's previous record of 42. He holds the NBA Playoffs record for most three-point field goals made in a game without a miss (7), against the Utah Jazz in Game 2 of the 1997 Western Conference Semifinals. Horry has regular season career averages of 7.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game.


dosn't mean much but throw in his 7 rings, he has a shot

[W0lfy]

Horry has won a championship everywhere hes played. That alone will get looked at. Is it because hes had great teams? Yeah, probably, but take away the 3 Pointer to beat the Kings in game 6 and you don't have another championship. Throw in all the other clutch 3s with all 3 teams Houston, LA, SA, and they might not even have the rings. That alone should get looked at rather than stats at times.

[Doc JS]

Many guys are locks if they stay healthy, mine is just for guys if they die tomorrow

rm,
Exactly! If Lebron gets run over crossing the street today, he's not a HOF'er. Now, if he stays healthy and plays the 15+ years or so that I expect, and puts up the kind of number that I expect, he WILL be a lock. But he's not today.

Here's the real question: Who thinks Robert Horry will be a first time inductee to the Hall of Fame?

No. Big shot Bob has been a great complementary player on a number of championship teams, but he ain't an HOF'er, IMO.

[isetcap]

Robert Horry first ballot?
0%

Robert Horry some day?
5%

[Doc JS]

not sure how you all feel about this one but I think Chris Webber should be a lock.

You're kidding, right?

Only way CW gets into the HOF is to buy a ticket!

[Doc JS]

McGrady is not one of my favorite players but he will be given strong consideration when his time comes.

Sorry, I just don't see TMac in the HOF. At least not based on what he's done to this point in his career.

Doesn't he have to lead his team to the second round of the playoffs at least ONCEbefore he gets in? An HOF'er should be able to do that,shouldn't he?

Doesn't he have to show he can play an entire season (or at least most of one) without being hurt and missing a significant number of games?

He's fragile and his teams don't win in the playoffs. Nuff said...

Hey you don't have to sell me on the negative aspects of McGrady's career. Like I said I don't like him and I hope he doesn't get his ticket but all he needs is 5 more seasons of 20 a game and a couple nice playoff runs with Houston. His statistical foundation has him positioned well. Unfortunately.

[Quebb Diesel]

kobe, shaq, and duncan already have their jackets made

[chandler1981]

Most that come to mind have already been menioned. I am going to stretch out there and suggest Carmello Anthony. I say yea. What ya think?

He's got a long way to go but he hasn't strayed from the path as of yet.

[Xclusuf]

Locks
Shaq - No explanation needed
Duncan - No explanation needed
Kobe - 3 Rings as a Star player
Nash - 2 Time MVP - Career Avg of 14-7 Isnt too great tho...

The next group have a very high probability

Dirk - MVP
KG - MVP
Wade - Finals MVP

[charlie64]

Has anyone ever won multiple MVP's and not made it?

Steve Nash may not be a lock since he didn't become a star until later in his career

He had some really great years with Dallas,he just never recieved the recognition he deserved until he went to Phoenix.

[DrunkenLullaby]

The next group have a very high probability


Wade - Finals MVP

Wade would have zero chance if his career ended today. Likely zero chance if his career ends any time in the next 5 years...and it's certainly not going to help him that Miami is now mind-bogglingly horrendous.

[onlooker]

I don't know how Lebron is not on everyones list. He single handly carried the Cavaliers to the Finals last year. He just couldn't do it alone against the Spurs. Probably was wore down from the eastern side of the playoffs.

He is a triple double average threat.

If the wiz had butler and arenas, he wouldnt have gotten out of round 1.

I agree for sure...as for HOF he is on the right path just not a lock as of right now IMO.

he is the most dynamic player ive seen, but hes still a baby. Got to hope against grant hill type injuries.

True that...he just doesn't have the time in the NBA to be considered a lock quite yet.

Doc

I agree with you he'a a great team player,but team players don't get in the hall of fame.If he does get in you have to put Dennis Rodman in

[Doc JS]

Agree that Rodman is not an HOF'er but I will say he's the best rebounder I've seen since Bill Russell. For his size and position, he was a fukin' rebounding demon!!!

[isetcap]

I'd put Rodman in 10 times before Horry. Come to think of it, if I had a vote Rodman would definitely be going. For someone like me who never saw Russell play, he was the only player that could dominate the league with rebounding and defense.
