Yes. It is not a hard hall of fame to get in. And he's been great ever since he came in the league. Obviously he's never been to the conference finals but his stats say he is in.
Basketball Hall Of Fame is not hard to get in. 9x All-star, 4x First Teamer (These are always big), 5x Defensive First team, and two gold medals. He's a lock. McGrady probably will get in one day too.
Depends on what you mean by "accomplished." TMac had a longer star level career compared Harden so far. If Harden sustain what he's been doing for a few more years, yes, he will be considered having "accomplished" more than McGrady.
Im seriously considering opening a 'Hall of really damn good' for all sports and would have chris paul in there. pete rose is master of ceremonies and unanimous first ballot. bagwell would be there too
Judging from this list, he may not be a first ballot Hall of fame player. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_players_in_the_Naismith_Memorial_Basketball_Hall_of_Fame http://www.basketball-reference.com/blog/?p=8595
Should be a first ballot guy if he plays at an All-Star level for 5 more years. He would be top 10 steals and assists all time. Has a long way to go to catch up to John Stockton in both respects, though.
Just for fun, to give you an idea of how hard it would be for Paul to catch Stockton in Assists and Steals, he would have to average 10 apg and 2 spg and play until he's 40 without missing more than 2 games a year. Still, he should hit top 10 in both before he's done.
Are you serious? Absolutely. He's one of the top 5 PGs of all time. He hasn't had as much success as he should have, but was the top PG in the league for the better part of a decade (in a decade stacked with great PGs).
