He actually has a good shot, considering that it's the basketball HOF, not the NBA HOF. His numbers are fairly consistent with the late Drazen Petrovic, who was admitted on his overall NBA/Europe career. Manu's international career was a tad better, Drazen's NBA career likewise. Manu has Olympic gold, but didn't win the WCs. Drazen has WC gold, but not Olympic. Drazen was a ridiculous shooter. Manu is a ridiculous penetrator and finisher.
NBA numbers for both:
Drazen
290 games .506 FG .437 3G 4461 pts 15.4 ppg 2.4 reb 2.3 asst
Manu
360 games .452 FG .375 3G 4919 pts 13.7 ppg 3.9 reb 3.4 asst
