    I understand he has inefficient numbers but he's an NBA MVP, 4 time scoring champion, 3 time 1st team ALL NBA, 11 time All star. But is he a first ballot hall of famer?

    Yes. No doubt. In his prime, he was the best scorer in the NBA. I think it also counts for something that he led the Sixers to the finals pretty much by himself.

    Its pretty easy to get into the baketball HOF. I think even Van Chancellor is in it.

    No question about it. He did amazing things on the court.

    Sure, he led that team to the Finals by himself... if you ignore the other guys on the court that were actually responsible for that team being a top 5 defense.

    Yes, one of the greatest 6 ft and under players in NBA history.

    An undersized phenom like Barkley who maximized just about every ounce of talent from his physical gifts, gotta respect a guy like that.

    Honestly, how many truly GREAT seasons did he have?

    Most of his seasons are highlighted by awful shooting and offcourt issues, but people seem to just forgive those because "he's a volume shooter!!!111eleven!"

    Who cares about "first ballot"? Either he is or he is not a Hall of Famer.

    He is.
