Realistically all of them because the basketball HOF has no standards whatsoever, but I wouldn't put any of them in....
Tony Parker
CP3
Manu
Paul Pierce
Vince Carter
Steve Nash
Melo
Ray Allen
These are the only two locks on the list tbh. Everybody else has strong arguments though.

Yeah, the HOF has no standards nowadays, shame.
If I have to pick one who doesn't deserve induction it's CP3.

Chauncey Billups loves your train of thought.

Tony Parker - :lmao
CP3 - :lmao
Manu - only if you count his international career against shitty foreigners
Paul Pierce - yes
Vince Carter - i hope not
Steve Nash - yes
Melo - no
Ray Allen - yes
Chauncey Billups loves your train of thought.
He deserves to be there too. Took the Pistons to 6 straight ECFs and then took the nuggets to the WCF as soon as he was traded there. Deff. the player that made all the difference.

Chauncey has no other credentials outside of NBA. TP is an accomplished European player. Those kind of accomplishments plus his FMVP and being an integral part of a team that won 4 titles means a lot.
Heck, If Reggie Miller could make it, everyone with a decent all star career is a shoo-in. :lol

So can we start using NBA players' college careers for their legacies? Since most top level American colleges are better than almost any foreign team.

The NBA HOF is a lot better selected than MLB--not that is a hall of fame that is a joke. I would say w/o a doubt you'd put The Truth, Nash, and Ray Allen as inducted. Probably won't be 1st ballow HoF for Pierce and Allen, but they'll get in. Pierce toiled in the cesspool that was the Celtics in the Toine Walker era and held it together during the post-Toine era. Nash for commanding some great Suns and Mavs teams. He'll probably be a 1st ballot but it wouldn't mean that he'll actually go in on the first go. Ray Allen for his clutch 3-point shooter and being almost automatic from that range will get in. I don't think first but second ballot...probably.

I think there can be stronger arguments made against CP3, Vince Carter, and Melo being inducted. The rest are locks to make it.

It's always been taken into consideration. They use it for no name former NBA/ABA players to justify their selection. Wilkes, Walker, Ralph Samson comes to mind.

If Bernard King could make it, Vince Carter who put Toronto in the map will make it.

One of the worst takes I've ever read on Spurstalk and that's saying a lot.

They are already using college careers contribution for the HoF so what's your point ?
Parker is btw a lock to make it, if he deserves it or not is another topic.. it depends on what criteria you want to use...
if you follow the logic of really major contribution to the sport you probably limit the list to 20-30 guys max

btw when you are posting : Manu - only if you count his international career against shitty foreigners
I believe you are forgetting the olympics unless USA team was made of shitty foreigners

I think CP3 will eventually make it though. After all, he's the leader of a team that fought and won against racism. :cry

He'll definitely make it just based on regular season stats, just like Nash and Wince Carter, though none of them will deserve it :lol

...grouping Nash with the rest :lol
People forget how well he played in the post season, unlike Choke Paul.

Nash and Ray Allen are the two standouts that come to mind, with Manu being 3rd. Probably Paul Pierce after that.

Yes.
Tony Parker
CP3
Manu
Paul Pierce
Vince Carter
Steve Nash
Melo
Ray Allen
None
Only those who have been inducted into the HOF are HOFers.

Nash wasn't a playoff choker and should have a ring. CP3 on the other hand is a perennial loser/choker/never been passed the 2nd round. Vince carter is questionable too imo.
The rest are all def HOFers.

CP3 has always been the best PG and top 5 player. He's a lock for the hall of fame.

If Parker has a strong end to this postseason and picks up finals MVP, he'd have a very strong case

Everyone but Paul and Melo. The jury's still out on Paul though. Depends on what happens in the next few years.

These guys get in. I don't see Vince Carter or Carmelo Anthony making it in unless they win a title.

Are people serious or just haters?
Does anyone really think CP3 doesnt make it into the hall of fame? Hes been the best point guard in the league for the last 5-6 years. Three time all-nba, 7 time all star etc.
The only player I can think of that did that and DIDNT make the hall of fame is Penny Hardaway. Anyone else?
