    That's why he's the only male basketball player in the Olympic Hall of Fame...

    They've given the Howler his due...they were the first to do so. Now they just need to retire his jersey


    Not too bad an amateur ball record(read played for free)for a guy who "didn't love the game"...




    My favorite Drob record was that at one point in about 1996, he was the NBA career leader in blocks per game, the college leader in career blocks and single season blocks per game and total blocks, and the Team USA and Olympics leader in career blocks...


    That's a shotblocking mofo there...
    and there was the answer all the time.

    How the is Bernard King not in the HOF? If David, Jordan, and Stockton don't go in together Stern should go burn the HOF down himself.

    Considering Bynum hasn't reached his prime yet...yeah, no . Admiral is def a HOF, but I'll never forget the year he stole MVP over Hakeem--and what Hakeem did to him in the playoffs that year. Still, first ballot HOFer

    Bernard King, Dennis Johnson, and Artis Gilmore all belong in the hall-of-fame. You'd think Mullin would get in as well, when you factor in his college and Olympic work.

    Payback for Hakeem stealing David's MVP in '94.

    Completely unsure what that has to do with a great man like Big Dave getting into the HOF, or why it HAD to be started, but ok. Let's try to keep this thread on topic..Admiral...HOF...and...GO!

    I don't recall the MVP race that year like I do in 95, but I'm sure you're right.

    Had to find video of the 95 race cause that WCF is still burned in my memory
