Better than cheering for Detroit...what a hole.
IMO, yes they do. Some years ago the HoF inducted some 80 years olds from Argentina that the only important thing they did in their careers was winning the first FIBA WC, so those guys you named should definitely be in there, and with time they may get in.
Kobe was a 17 year old high school kid when he joined his "new" team.
Oops. You're right. I am wrong.
thus not a HOFer
HAHAHAHAH
Yea, lemme remind you how Kobe took Pau "kicking and screaming" to his first playoff victory
Lets play a game of who's who, shall we?
Player A:
36/16/8/3 on 70% shooting
Player B:
32/3/1/1/2 on 35% shooting
Would it be fair to say Player A was carrying Player B on his back in this game? imo yes.
Player A was Pau Gasol btw.
Specially that Dirk Nowitzki guy.
It took him 7 years & Bryant to get it done.
It took Bryant 5 years and Gasol to get it done
For the record, I think Kukoc belongs in the HOF.
But even in his prime, if you put Kukoc on a team with another HOF player, you wouldn't be using an argument to gauge their success or failures based on the fact they had HOFer Toni Kukoc playing alongside them. You definitely wouldn't use that argument for Jasikevicius.
But you use it for Pau, who was viewed as a very talented big man but not the type of big man who automatically makes a team a championship contender before he joined the Lakers. In fact he was more like a big man version of T-Mac. A franchise guy who can be the difference between being in the lottery and barely making the playoffs. But not a guy who means the difference between being a good team and a great team, not as the no. 1 guy anyway.
How do you figure, Bryant had already rang 3 times and won countless playoffs games when Gasol showed up with his playoff skunker attached.It took Bryant 5 years and Gasol to get it done
I was talking about getting out of the 1st round w/out Shaq
I was talkin' about Gasol not winning a single playoff game until he came onboard with Bryant.
It's cute that you get this itchy over a joke pointing out how dumb and delusional so many Rocket fans on these boards are.
I root for the City of Detroit to get their act together. It's a bad and sad situation for the city. But it's all cool by me if you want to make fun of it. I don't get sensitive about it. It's still my city and it is a dump in a lot of areas. People need help out here. You have to resort to that to evade the point of the joke, that so many Rockets fans on here all but guaranteed the Rockets would be working ways to acquire both Joe Johnson and Chris bosh last summer.
Unfortunately, Detroit being a hole doesn't change your stupidity.

tee,hee
You obviously must suspect he was one of the good Germans that helped the jews out tbh.
I think Obama's dad lives in there.

Finally the trio is reunited, ever since that fateful day in Arizona. Me and Cubby at the Chuckbox lookin' for that Duncan fellow;::::Luva in the car, chloroform rag at hand.

Mornin' Altered.
Mornin' Cubster, just applyin the 'ol Preparation H after Mill built a shoestore up there last night.
Bosh took advantage that he was playing in the Leastern conference when the conference was really weaksauce, an advantage that Pau didn't have in Memphis, or guys like Dirk don't have in Dallas or Scola in Houston. See Kevin Garnett for a relatively similar case (going nowhere with the Wolves as a star in the West - just like Pau in Memphis - and multiple visits to the NBA Finals once he moved into the East).
Even taking that into account, Toronto put a fairly average record when he was there.
Bosh has been always overrated.
