    Drazen Petrovic never accomplished the half dozen things Manu Ginobili did in his career.

    Why is that such a big deal, How long has the NBA been around? 50+ years? Thats 50 finals MVPs. And most of those include repeat MVPs. I think that is setting the standard pretty ing high don't you?

    Or is getting the finals MVP just a walk in the park?

    Its not a walk in the park, but winning the finals MVP doesn't necessarily mean you're HOF material IMO. I think it should take more than that.

    Cedric Maxwell has no business within 50 miles of the Basketball HOF.

    The way the Hall of Fame "works", international players have an incredible advantage, which is why Drazen freaking Petrovic is in there but Artis Gilmore isn't
    Total bull Gilmore not being in there.

    If you want it to be more than that then it should be Playoff MVP and not just for the finals. The East being this weak is an exceptional cir stance I will grant you that, but leading your team to a championship in any given year is the hardest thing for a player to ever accomplish. If Parker is given the finals MVP or earns it tonight, even if most spurs fans realize Duncan is the true MVP, than he belongs in the HOF.

    says who? you? I love TP but right now, he doesn't belong in HOF. Even if he does win the MVP, he still doesn't belong in the HOF. Still, he's 25, by the time he's retired he could very well be elegible, who's to say. Right now, the only sure fire hall of famer in the Spurs is Duncan.

    EDIT: Actually, Horry is pretty much assured as well I think

    In the metric of calculating hall of fame points... If you have to earn say 1000 points to be considered hall of fame material it should be worth something like this:

    Finals MVP: 700
    Championship: 100
    MVP: 800
    DPOY: 600
    Allstar: 75
    1st Team: 100
    2nd Team: 50
    3rd Team: 25

    Averaging 20+ pts for 10 years: 200
    Averaging 8+ rbs or 6+ asts for 10 years: 200
    etc.

    Parker's only 25. Assuming 8 to 9 more seasons of play with him peaking around age 30 he should be able to rack up the necessary individual accomplishments (All-NBA Team membership, routine All-Star appearances, etc...) to gain entry into the Hall.

    Damn, DRob should be eligible for induction consideration next year.

    You don't remember that? 94-95 season, that's it for Moses.

    Then again, he only played in 17 games apparently, all in the early part of the season. And he averaged less than 9 minutes a game... So yeah, I guess that was forgettable.

    Moses also hit a length of the court shot at the end of the first quarter on his 40th birthday. See, he did something while playing for the Spurs.

    If the little snake in the grass gets in it would be as a coach. He should
    give thanks every day that they let him play in the NBA.

    I doubt this. Petrovic was a real, real star. His career in Europe and with Yougoslavia was amazing.

    PS: I think Bodiroga would have made it as well had he not decided to stay in Europe.

    I can't believe no one has mentioned Dennis Rodman yet. If he doesn't get in, then they should just shut it down.
