Current generation Hall of Famers

[dirk4mvp]

Idk how guys like Chris Paul and Deron Williams are in the talk right now. Probably in the future, and their plays suggest that they will, but what have they done that gets them in so far? Williams in the 05 ncaa le game?

First ballot Hall of Fall.

You mean Fall of Shame...

[ElNono]

What you guys think of guys like TQuit and Vince Carter? I don't think they should necessarily make it, but they've both been beasts at one point or another in the league.

Besides a few stats, what has either really accomplished?

Well, I could ask the same about Deron Williams or CP3 that were in the original list...

[cherylsteele]

What about Allen Iverson???

I would say AI is pretty much a lock.

Williams and Paul haven't put in the years that Carter and McGrady have. I don't think any of those 4 should be in a hall of fame discussion at this point.

I agree with that...

I think Steve Nash should be an exception. He's such a liability on defense.

You think a 2-time MVP shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame? Give me a ing break.

Nash deserves a nod.



There. I feel better.

It's safe to give Suns players praise now, Strike. Lottery teams are supposed to be pitied, not hated.

I've never liked Nash. But I respect the 2 MVP trophies and his career overall.

Dirk deserved those MVPs

Ummmmm, no.

Would you put money on either Paul or Williams to miss the HOF? I know I wouldn't.

Maybe so but currently they haven't accomplished enough. And yes I understand they're both young players. At their current pace and with a few broken records, awards and rings, easy pick. Just not yet.

Knee-Mac is pretty much a lock for HOF. He is after all one of the top 5 SG to play the game and once the best player in the league.

[Ghazi]

He is far from a hall of fame lock. FAR

No but all it takes is for one of them to come down wrong off a jump and it ends that discussion.

Current NBA players who've earned their spots today:

Kobe Bryant
Tim Duncan
Kevin Garnett
Shaquille O'Neal
Steve Nash
Paul Pierce
Allen Iverson
Manu Ginobili (you can and I would make the argument that he's in right now)

A few current NBA players who are on a HOF pace:

Chris Paul
LeBron James
Dirk Nowitzki (very close)

That's pretty much the only way though. It could happen, but if I had to put money one way or the other, I'd pick both of them making it and not think twice about it.

Dirk's easily there. The only thing really up for debate now is whether he'd go in on the first ballot (I think he would).

Forgot about Kidd. He's a mortal lock for the HOF.
