    There’s a serious agenda within NBA against anything related to the non-MJ years, i.e. the Rockets back-to-back championships. Very few people give those teams and Rudy T their due, only Olajuwon gets credit and a few times our backcourt is mentioned.

    How in the **** is TMac & Yao, the perennial 1st round exit duo, in the HOF, and not Rudy T.

    Don’t forget a gold medal with NBA players and a bronze medal with CBA players. Pop and Larry Brown were under him in the 2000 Sydney olympics and was the last year of success before USA basketball went into a downward spiral. He was the last head coach that led the USA to a gold medal with just preparing right before the games. Obviously they revamped the whole program in 2006.

    This is an absolute joke. Seriously not happy at all. How can Rudy not be a HOF’er?

    We need Bags4HoF to start the crusade. Not even kidding!

    He should get in. 5 time All Star, 2 NBA championships and a gold medal as a head coach. Hopefully by next year...

    I heard it was because LeBron voted for himself.

    Not enough triple doubles, or not enough Nike shoe deals?

    In other news, Lebron has voted himself into the Hall of Fame.

    Ralph Sampson and Tina Thompson are in, but their numbers are not retired at Toyota Center.

    One thing is crossing my mind is when Rudy didn't draft Rashard Lewis after promising to draft him. Rashard was literally crying the whole 1st round The Rockets had 3 1st round picks and passed on Rashard 3 times I honestly was disappointed by Carroll Dawson and Rudy. Rashard was promised to be taken by the Rockets in the 1st Round, Basically he was lied to. It was real torture to watch 18 year old crying at the table. He was finally selected in the 2nd Round by the Seattle Supersonics. I was so sad during at that time we didn't select Rashard. Rashard became an excellent shooter for the Seattle Supersonics.

    LOL, wow seriously...??? a coach with 2 championships under his belt doesn't get elected.

    I could name at least like 3 or 4 hall of famers off my head right now that shouldn't even be elected or even mentioned to be a hall of famers.

    kinda curious what are the criteria to be inducted in, is it just different even year due to nominees..?!
