To no one's surprise our TD is one of the finalists for the upcoming Basketball HOF.
The four "big names" that will go in this class are Duncan, Kobe, KG, and likely Bosh.
As per usual, ESPN manages to mention everyone's les but Duncan's. Guess he didn't ring.
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/...me-nominationsThe class, though, will be led by the four stars at the top of it.Bryant spent his entire 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers, partnering first with Shaquille O'Neal and then Pau Gasol to claim five les and reach seven NBA Finals, all while becoming one of the most prolific scorers in NBA history.
Duncan also spent his entire career with a single franchise, playing 19 seasons for the San Antonio Spurs under coach Gregg Popovich and alongside David Robinson, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Kawhi Leonard.
Garnett, meanwhile, helped usher in the current era of the NBA by agreeing in the summer of 2007 to join Ray Allen and Paul Pierce with the Boston Celtics after spending the first 12 years of his career playing for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Celtics would go on to win the NBA le in 2008 and reach the NBA Finals in 2010, where they lost in seven games to Bryant and the Lakers. Their dominance over the Eastern Conference then helped spur Bosh, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade to play together with the Miami Heat starting in 2010.
After winning two les and reaching the NBA Finals each of the next four seasons with the Heat, Bosh saw his career derailed by recurring issues with blood clots, forcing him to retire in 2016 while still at the peak of his game.

Duncan has more Finals MVPs than any of them (combined).
BSPN

Spurs connected nominees:
Ron Boone
Mack Calvin
Tim Duncan
Michael Finley
Donnie Freeman
George Karl
Becky Hammon
No . How is Bosh a finalist in his first year and Webber not? Bosh was never as good a player as Webber.
As soon as I saw Duncan retire, and that he and Kobe would be in the same inductee class, I knew the focus would be on Kobe and not Tim for this year's HOF class. I don't think Tim really cares, but he deserves better than to be Kobe's second fiddle at this thing.
I love how Bosh is a no question HOFer and LMA isn’t. I hope Bosh has to wait.
Mainly for being associated with "The Heatles" and having 2 rings and more All-Star appearances than C-Webb, who's more infamous for his choking than famous, tbh.
He definitely doesn't care. But we, his fans, do. At this point, its all about media recognition and talk. And I want the youngins to understand what a true legend Duncan was. But with the way BSPN, Duncan will be just another big man who played in the league lol
All nopes except Tim. Finley, really?
The Christian Laettner effect. He played with James and Wade.
Rings matter
I wouldn't be surprised if Tim skipped it.
I hope Becky gets in
2 HOFers on the bench is unusual
Kobe and Garnett will dominate the ceremony, unfortunately
OF course duncan shares honors with the great kobe
Jim getting bronze again at his own Hall of Fame ceremony. Getting cucked by Kobe (again) and Garnett.
Why no Robert Horry or Horace Grant then?
This.
Five championships, 3 FMVPS, 2 MVPs, a record number of all-defensive selections, never missed the playoffs (unlike the other 3) and their article has the least on him. Apparently, the only thing noteworthy was he played with Manu, Tony, David and Kawhi and for Pop.

webber played in a loaded PF west, don't get caught up in boshes easy all star appearances
Bosh? When is Mario Chalmers going into the HoF?
Duncan owes it all to Pop. It wouldn't be fair to give him the credit.
