Best case scenario, assuming Manu and Parker make it. Not saying that's automatic.
You cracksmok er...people need to realize something...
Robert Horry's standard is 7 Championships...a 7-0 record in the finals.
That aint lowering the standards for the hall.
Best case scenario, assuming Manu and Parker make it. Not saying that's automatic.
I think Manu is in because of his international accomplishments, but Tony? He had a great season and deserved the MVP, but he has to put up a lot more seasons like this to even think about getting in.
Oh, and Horry, No way he gets in.
This current team has only three hall of famers. TP, TD, and Pop.
Pop and TD are locks, and TP....well obvioulsy he has a ways to go, but thats just my prediction, already all these stats before age 26, 3 rings, finals mvp, 2 all star games( more to come ) and he doesnt look like hes slowin down.
#9,#12,#20,#21 will be retired for the Spurs.
That's why I said best case scenario. Just an illustration of how it can affect Duncan's legacy if several of his teammates make the HOF.
Tony has ten years to build his resume.... He's got a good start with 3 rings, 2 All Star appearances and a Finals MVP.
when they create a coattails wing, let me know.
I can just about guarantee you that Manu gets into the HOF, although it will be more for his international success. And adding NBA rings only helps his case.
I actually think Horry makes it. You youngsters don't remember what a big part he was of that Houston team that went back to back.
Can someone tell me why Jim Loscutoff is not in the HOF?
I mean, he DOES HAVE 7 NBA CHAMPIONSHIP RINGS.
I have to disagree. I'm no youngster and I lived in Houston during their championships. Robert Horry was the biggest regular season slacker you ever saw.
Got to thinking again about the Horry for the Hall of Fame argument.
I'd like for someone to explain to me why Michael Cooper isn't a shoo-in for the HOF if Robert Horry is. I can't see an argument to say that Cooper has a much more significant personal resume as a player than Horry does, which arguably makes Cooper more historically significant than Horry. Horry has 2 more rings and some big shots; Cooper has 5 rings to his credit -- playing a role like Horry's -- and was among the best defenders of his generation, earning a DPOY and 5 First Team All-Defense and 3 Second team All-Defense selections during his career.
If Horry is a shoo-in, I'm curious why I don't also see anyone arguing for Cooper's enshrinement.
The only way Horry will be in the HOF is with records. Like how many playoff games, he's been in, how many rings he has ect...
And if you followed the Celts closely in those years, Nimrod Jones cost the Celts a couple les IMO, esp '87s pivotal game 4. Up freaking 19 and so and he refused to use the bench and wore out the starters along with StallBall.
No way man.
14 points a game belongs nowhere near the HOF. Manu is already almost 30 after just 4 nba seasons. And the way he plays who knows how much longer he can go. Just two allstar apperances and I dont see him getting many more.
Tony on the other hand is going to start becoming more and more the offensive go to guy. And only 25 after 5 seasons. Just 2 allstar apperances but back to back gives you the feeling that there will be alot more.
overall the difference will be, they will have the same amount of rings when its over, but tony is going to have the stats, allstars, and finals mvps.
read man! he's saying Manu will get in because of his international accomplishments. Care to name me a player that was won more internationally than Manu?...
I didn't think so
Go ahead and find me a player with a resume that's anywhere close to this and then tell me if he's not getting in as the most successful international player of all time.les

He is the only player in basketball history to win the Euroleague, an Olympic gold medal, and an NBA Championship ring. He was also the first non-U.S. player ever to win both the NBA Championship ring and the Olympic gold medal (San Antonio teammate Fabricio Oberto is the only other), and only the second Latin American to be selected to play in an NBA All-star game (after Panama's Rolando Blackman).
Nash's.
jesus... INTERNATIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS!! as in outside the US aswell, get it?? Plus, last time I checked Nash has been a member of how many championship teams?
It's called the "Basketball Hall of Fame"... emphasizing the word "basketball" not the "NBA Hall of Fame".
Very impressive, few people know the full explanation for his beef with Ainge.
I actually think that both Manu Ginobili and Christian Laettner have a better chance of reaching the Hall of Fame than Robert Horry does.
Coop is a good argument. Both he and Dennis Johnson should be in the HoF before Horry.
FWD probably meant the Laettner remark as stinkbait, but Laettner is easily a top 50 all-time college player and that qualifies him for the Hall. , John Wooden is in the Hall as a college player (in addition to be in for coaching).
I always felt the Hall screwed up by not having separate pro vs. college places.
