Chris Webber - NO
Rasheed Wallace - YES
Chauncey Billups - YES
Marc Jackson - NO
Dikembe Mutombo - YES
Alonzo Mourning - YES
Robert Horry - YES
Tracy McGrady - NO
Grant Hill - NO
Vince Carter - NO
Chris Webber -No
Rasheed Wallace -No
Chauncey Billups -Maybe
Marc Jackson -No (he would be already)
Dikembe Mutombo -Maybe
Alonzo Mourning -Probably
Robert Horry -should be just because
Tracy McGrady -No
Grant Hill - No
Vince Carter - No
Vince should get in just for that dunk in the olympics or w/e tournament it was.
Damn nasty.
Billups, Mutumbo, and Mourning are all definitely deserving
truth is, its probably going to be pretty tough for most of these people to get in, except maybe Zo (because of his health battles).
Sheed and Billups Hall of Famers??
If Tmac/Hill could have stayed healthy....yes.
Horry is a role player. He will be remembered as one of the clutchest playoff performers, but he isn't a HOF.
Zo and Deke? Yes. Sucks Zo had those health issues.
Carter? I am iffy on that one.
That's because he never hit game winning shots for Dallas.
No way in ing should Horry get in. It would belittle the HoF. And I like him.
What about Ben Wallace? 4 DPOY is hard to argue against.
If Dominique could make it, Horry should be a lock.
Wow..Did you just compare Dominique Wilkins to Robert Horry?
Holy .
There are a ton of great players who never made the HOF. It's not a "really good player" organization. It's supposed to be the best of the best. Short term memory always puts new players over older ones. There are plenty of old guys who played good ball but didn't make it into the HOF.
That is the ONLY Piston from that core who should be considered for the HOF.
goes to show how much rings matter, when it comes to fringe hof's...
imo aside from deke and zo webber is the best player out of all these when you factor in longevity...he was putting up 20-10 and was a top MVP candidate in his sactown days, one of the top 5 passing big man of all-time too. yet noone has picked him bc of his inability to win a ring. meanwhile guys like horry, or chauncey and sheed have gotten a couple of yes's.
Yeah...rings do seem to matter.![]()
imho
Chris Webber-MAYBE...2nd/3rd ballot.
Rasheed Wallace-NO
Chauncey Billups-NO
Marc Jackson-NO
Dikembe Mutombo-LOCK
Alonzo Mourning-LOCK
Robert Horry-NO
Tracy McGrady-NO
Grant Hill-NO
Vince Carter-NO
none of these guys were ever MVPs.
the guys on that list that won rings all have pretty average/mediocre stats.
If you want to throw in international play, I guess getting a gold medal might help Grant Hill.
I don't think Billups deserves to get in, but it's real hard to argue against him getting in when Dennis Johnson is in.
Basketball Refernce has Vince at an 86% of getting in but I think their ratings are flawed on that one.
I'd guess Mutumbo and Billups.
Chris Webber - No
Rasheed Wallace - No
Chauncey Billups - No
Marc Jackson - No
Dikembe Mutombo - Yes
Alonzo Mourning - Maybe
Robert Horry - No
Tracy McGrady - No
Grant Hill - No
Vince Carter - No
I might be swayed by a good Sheed or Billups argument. I don't think TMac and Vince have enough postseason success.

No to all, except for Deke and Zo..Mutombo should be a lock IMO, but I'm not sure if he will actualy get in..his effort in the community will help him get in, he's the anti-Rodman, from an image standpoint..
Zo is borderline, but his health battle will help IMO, as Stretch said..
Billups is overrated as IMO..I wouldn't be surprised if he actually gets in, but I hope he doesn't..
Ben Wallace deserves it IMO, he has become underrated..
Agreed, guy was such a beast on defense.
