Why is that such a big deal, How long has the NBA been around? 50+ years? Thats 50 finals MVPs. And most of those include repeat MVPs. I think that is setting the standard pretty fucking high don't you?Quote:

Its not a walk in the park, but winning the finals MVP doesn't necessarily mean you're HOF material IMO. I think it should take more than that.Quote:

The East being this weak is an exceptional circumstance I will grant you that, but leading your team to a championship in any given year is the hardest thing for a player to ever accomplish. If Parker is given the finals MVP or earns it tonight, even if most spurs fans realize Duncan is the true MVP, than he belongs in the HOF.

LOL I was being sarcastic because youre argument is WEAK itself. Being finals MVP once doesn't mean shit. should Wade be automatic for HOF? Billups? gimme a break :drunkQuote:

DPOY: 600
Allstar: 75
1st Team: 100
2nd Team: 50
3rd Team: 25
Averaging 20+ pts for 10 years: 200
Averaging 8+ rbs or 6+ asts for 10 years: 200
etc.
TIM Duncan will be ...
Tony if he continue improving for sure
Manu ?
Bruce ... I'd love to .. great defender, good attitude and great performance @ 36 years old.
Parker's only 25. Assuming 8 to 9 more seasons of play with him peaking around age 30 he should be able to rack up the necessary individual accomplishments (All-NBA Team membership, routine All-Star appearances, etc...) to gain entry into the Hall.
Damn, DRob should be eligible for induction consideration next year.
You don't remember that? 94-95 season, that's it for Moses.Quote:

Moses also hit a length of the court shot at the end of the first quarter on his 40th birthday. See, he did something while playing for the Spurs.
If the little snake in the grass gets in it would be as a coach. He shouldQuote:

I doubt this. Petrovic was a real, real star. His career in Europe and with Yougoslavia was amazing.Quote:

I can't believe no one has mentioned Dennis Rodman yet. If he doesn't get in, then they should just shut it down.
