    Right I mean Guy Lewis coined and epitomized "Choke City", if you start a basketball catch phrase you should get in. Mwuaahahahha.

    He needs 20K points+1 Ring and i'd say you can put him in the hall for sure.

    Both are probably not hard for him to achieve at the age of 30.

    The only notable I can think of for getting Tracy in Hall of Fame (On the wall of shame) is 0 advancements to second round in 7 tries (*). Especially alarming considering that he has been up 2-0 in a number of those series. Of course Mac fans would scream "Bad teammates!" but then there is the damning asterix below.

    (*)1/1 as a DNP status.

    He isn't too far from 20,000 career points.

    That alone gets him in imo..

    He will forever be in the Hall of Shame as the biggest drama queen without a single playoff series win.

    That's a bigger accomplishment than being in the HOF, trust me.

    He's on the line of making to the HOF imo. But thats a thin line. He's playoff and regular season numbers cry for HOF, but his lack of playoff success is what sets him back.

    If he goes in, it should be as a Rocket. Whether you guys like it or not, he's known more as a Rocket than any other team.

    He's definitely borderline HoF. I know he's despised around here. Don't be blinded by hate

    The only way Tracy is even mentioned at the hall of fame is if Dwight Howard makes it and thanks him by name for losing 19 games in a row and securing that #1 pick

    I know its a joke, but the NBA doesn't even have a HOF. Its the Basketball Hall of Fame. It doesn't matter what level your contributions were for.

    The problem is, that's the greatest team success he's ever had. As amazing as that win streak was, non-Rockets fans won't remember how great it was 10 years from now because it came in the middle of the regular season and the team didn't advance in the playoffs.

    Hard to be a HOFer when all three (and soon to be four) of the teams you left were happy to see you go. His stats could get him in but the voting is done by actual human beings who will be well aware of his losing ways and his piss poor attitude at every stop of his NBA journey.

    My money says he never makes it in.

    There's a reason Dennis Rodman isn't in.

    The Basketball HOF is nowhere near as prestigious as the NFL/MLB.

    Dennis Rodman not making it is bull**** because he was a winner everywhere he went (almost)

    TMac making it (if he does, which I highly doubt because people with brains vote) would be bull**** for the opposite reason
