    All 3 are locks. Along with Duncan.

    I don't see how anyone can think that Rasheed Wallace is even remotely close to being a hall of fame player. The guy is known mostly for being the biggest waste of talent arguably in league history.

    Paul Pierce:
    Reg Season
    Career FG .445 3pt .369 FT .802 RB 6.1 APG 3.8 SPG 1.5 BPG .6 PPG 22.5

    Playoffs
    Career FG.425 3pt .340 FT .820 RPG 6.6 APG 4.1 SPG 1.3 BPG .7 PPG 21.4

    8 time All-Star, four-time All-NBA team. NBA Finals MVP 2008. Seems like an HOF resume to me.

    You lost me at Pistol Pete, dude. You really need to brush up on your BASKETBALL history.

    Why? Because he's had a better team to play with?

    I know there is a large hatred for T-Mac, but Orlando T-Mac and early Houston T-Mac were elite.

    In addition to being a multiple time NBA champion, Manu Ginobili was also the best player on a gold medal winning team in the Olympics and a multiple time MVP in Europe.

    The guy is a flat out winner.

    I'm also not sure why so many people think Chauncey Billups is more deserving of a HOF spot than Tony Parker. Parker was the starting point guard on multiple championship teams and has a finals MVP. Billups has only one championship and a finals MVP.

    Please undergo sterilization if you don't put Dirk in the HoF. Especially if you are putting Ray Allen, Chauncey Billups, Webber, and Nash in ahead of him.

    Horry is a multiple time NBA champion. Ginobili never won the finals MVP in any of the Finals. Yeah, he was important, but the team ran because of Duncan.

    And Billups is being hugely overrated.

    Yes

    Paul Pierce
    Kevin Garnett
    Ray Allen
    Steve Nash
    Tracy McGrady
    Chris Webber
    Jason Kidd
    Dirk Nowitzki


    No

    Vince Carter
    *Chauncey Billups
    Manu Ginobli
    *Tony Parker
    Rip Hamilton
    Rasheed Wallace

    *Unless I'm mistaken, every other Finals MVP is either in, or is a shoe-in, for the HOF. But I just can't put these two in...not right now.

    Ginobili will make it. International players get a little extra credit, I think. Not first ballot, of course, but he'll get in eventually.

    What makes you say that? Petrovic's the only international NBA player in the Hall of Fame.

    Damn... I can't fathom how someone would rather have McGrady in the Hall over Ginobili...

    Hmm maybe because he is a 2 time NBA Scoring Champ, as one of the most beautiful style of playing and was probably the most talented player in the 2000's.
