sure, why not?
If it was just the NBA Hall of Fame, then it would be debatable. However, considering it's the Basketball Hall of Fame, he's a shoo-in.
his international career made him a shoo-in.
Still can't get over the fact that it's not "shoe-in." I've been misusing it for ing years.
Maybe. I think it's still up in the air. Sabonis getting in helps his case. I think if Toni Kukoc gets in then Manu gets in too. But I don't think it's a guarantee. I'd like to see him get in.
lol sons, this is an outrage. Trevor Ariza is 3 times the Hall of Famer that flopper is... The NBA is just rigged. God bless.
Uh? Manu had a much better career than Kukoc, at all levels.
But I do agree that it will be more likely once you see people like Sabonis and Oscar Schmidt in there, which are not right now even though most everybody agrees they should be.
Kukoc was pretty damn underrated for most of his career. Dude was also an absolute beast in international comp.
You're not the only one, and the irony of it is that "shoe-in" means to get in with great difficulty, rather than the intended use in most situations of "shoo-in" which means with ease.
Not really.
I'm a big Ginobili supporter but I don't think he is hall of fame material.
It's going to be close...Due to rings he certainly deserves it, but no mvps, has he been mvp of the finals??
And his injury issues I think will hurt him a little bit. But as I would say duncan/parker/manu have been the championship "triplets" I've vote him in.
If it was just the NBA it wouldn't have been debatable, he just wouldn't get in. If he got that co-MVP in 2005 finals that he should have, it would've been different.
why does anybody give a about the hall of fame?
Because there is no NBA Hall of Fame, Manu is in on his international accomplishments alone...
But if we 'pretend' that the NBA is all that the Basketball HoF cares about, than if C-Mull and Joe-D got in, than Manu is gonna be there too...
They players seem to care, sentimentally, after they have been out of the game for a while. Why fans care? That, I have no idea. I think the whole ins ution is dumb. The stats are there, whether they are recognized by a bunch of sports snobs or not...
It is just something to generate buzz and revenue. A meaningless metric designed to generate emotion where there needs none.
