Bold=HOF Underlined=Maybe Rest=no. Paul Pierce Kevin Garnett Ray Allen Vince Carter Rasheed Wallace Steve Nash Tracy McGrady Tony Parker Chauncey Billups Rip Hamilton Chris Webber Manu Ginobli Jason Kidd Dirk Nowitzki
Paul Pierce - YES - 1 CHAMPIONSHIP, 20K points, good enough, imo. Kevin Garnett - YES - Amazing prime, got his championship Ray Allen - YES -2nd best 3 point shooter statistically, one championship, 20k points Vince Carter Rasheed Wallace - NO - maybe if he won against LA Steve Nash - YES - two time MVP, good enough, great percentages, one of the best efficient point guards of all time despite lack of defense. Tracy McGrady - NO - injuries have derailed him, but if he gets over the 20k point mark, and he gets a championship playing an important part, yes... Tony Parker - NO - he's still not old enough Chauncey Billups - NO - end of his career can make it a yes though Rip Hamilton - NO - hasn't really done enough Chris Webber - NO - retired too early despite injuries.. Manu Ginobli - NO - has championships, but Jason Kidd - YES - one of the best passers and rebounding pgs.
That's interesting for the VC and Tmac aspect. Why would Vince not get a maybe? They both have similar numbers but Vince has gotten past the first round. It's close to me..
Paul Pierce - Yes Kevin Garnett - Yes Ray Allen - Yes Vince Carter - Yes Rasheed Wallace Steve Nash - Yes Tracy McGrady - Yes Tony Parker Chauncey Billups Rip Hamilton Chris Webber - Yes Manu Ginobli Jason Kidd - Yes Dirk Nowitzki - Yes Remember folks...it's not just one year and you don't get voted in, and no chance ever again. (I'm sure most know that, but still)

Meant to put Yes for Jkidd And to Landry92... Did you ever see Bill Russell Play? Have you ever even researched him, heard what his teammates said about him, heard some of the stories about him? I think if you did you would realize that your "Dwight Howard is better than Bill Russell" sig is complete nonsense
you're forgetting Jerry Sloan/2009 and Adrian Dantley/2008 (that's just the NBA inductees) It's not really much of an argument trying to compare those names to the ones in the first post. It's pretty common knowledge/opinion that the golden age of the NBA was in the 80's/90's. Allen Iverson the greatest talent the NBA has ever seen - sounds like a fan who started watching the NBA when Iverson got into the NBA And when did being a great dunker started being a criteria for the HOF?
According to basketball reference: 1. Shaquille O'Neal 1.0000 2. Kobe Bryant 0.9999 3. Tim Duncan 0.9998 4. Allen Iverson 0.9977 5. Kevin Garnett 0.9971 6. LeBron James 0.9801 7. Dwyane Wade 0.9758 8. Paul Pierce 0.9535 9. Dirk Nowitzki 0.9105 10. Jason Kidd 0.9073 11. Ray Allen 0.9072 12. Vince Carter 0.8662 13. Tracy McGrady 0.7476 14. Tony Parker 0.5183 15. Grant Hill 0.4794 16. Gilbert Arenas 0.4569 17. Chris Bosh 0.4305 18. Amare Stoudemire 0.4246 19. Carmelo Anthony 0.4078 20. Steve Nash 0.3654
http://www.basketball-reference.com/about/hof_prob.html I don't understand why height is being used in his HOF probability formula.
I don't care for Iverson. But he is a lock. That's just how it works. I just named the NBA player inductees, to get a better angle at it. I hope we don't just induct players every year, "just b/c we have to" could you elaborate more on the 80's and 90's. i think they were better as well.
