Is he going in as a Rocket or Nugget or Sixer?

:EDIT:

or Hawk?

:EDIT 2:

Or Net or Knick?

 

Congrats! Hope it's as a Rocket!

 

I'd say a Nugget.......or maybe a Sixer.....................................or maybe a Rocket. ****, I Don't know. Good question

 

Great news!

 

Well deserved.

I might want to sex Mutumbo now.

 

Congratulations, Deke! Well deserved. -

 

Why wouldn't he go in as a Hawk?

 

Does he have to choose a team to go in as? I thought that was just a baseball thing.

 

You go in as a player of one team only, what a joke...it should then easily be the Nuggets. Nothing compares to that 1994 upset and where he started his career.

 

This is the greatest moment in his career.

 

Mutombo.. Miss that guy

 

No KJ?

 

I can't wait for his Hall of Fame speech.

 

Good for him.

 

A couple of really good 90s point guards and a coaching legend didn't make it.

I could make a case for and a case against all three for KJ, Hardaway, and Fitch.

Hardaway's comment about gays on the radio working against him?

Also...I still have nightmares about KJ against the Rockets in the playoffs. For those of you that actually saw the Mario Elie Kiss of Death shot...KJ was absolutely unstoppable that game and almost won that game on his own.

 

The Naismith HOF does not choose a team to associate with the player.

Baseball does, only for the purposes of the plaque, which has the player wearing the hat of a particular team. Baseball used to allow players to choose what hat to wear, but the Hall changed that after Wade Boggs essentially tried to sell his plaque to Tampa Bay.

 

still hate the way he and Yao BOTH went out during the same playoff run. Deke was still damn good his last year.
