This year's class is pretty weak lol
Neither should Melo...
Riding Lebron's jock in the olmypics should not count.
Came here to say this. He'll get in.
And so will Carmelo. You can't be one of the best scorers ever and not be a HOFer.
Webber made it to 5 all-star games. Factor in when he made it to the ASG that he made it during the golden era of PF's. He also has 3 all nba team appearances. His career average of 20-9-4 is very impressive. It's very close but I would have him in the HOF.
Based on current standards for HOF, I like CW as a HOF'er, honestly. Melo shouldn't be a HOF'er; but he will be b/c of all the jockers out there or the people that think a guy that scores 20 plus X seasons in a row should be in it.
I'm not sure. Webber has missed out against some weak names.
Carmelo might get in because of USA basketball.
For those who don't think Webber should get in the Hall, what are your reasons? Explain yourself. Don't say "no rings." The hall is meant to celebrate individual greatness. Webber is one of the best players ever not to ring. (And, as well all know, 2002 was bull anyway.)

if that's the rationale for Melo, Mcgrady gets the nod too
Dominique wasn't a first ballot HOFer & he was better than Melo.![]()
I'm not saying first ballot, just that he'll get in (or should).
He could have rang if if hadn't been for the Lakrefs tbh
man I hate how easy it is for players to get into the hof. webber, melo and their likes should not be a hof'er.
Webber is.
Melo is.
McGrady is.
If you dont think more5 All Star nods, ROY and part of one of the most memorable and marketable college teams of all time isnt a HOFer, you're an idiot. If a multi time scoring champ isnt a HOer, you're an idiot. If you don't think a dude who started 8 All Star Games and will finish with 10 or more and was multi time Gold Medalist isnt a HOFer, you're an idiot.
I'd ask why, but it's easier to say you're an idiot.
I was a huge fan of Webber during his tenure with the Kings but I don't think he's a Hall of Famer. He never finished higher than fourth in the MVP voting in his career. He had 1 All-NBA First team selection and he was plagued by injuries throughout his career (He sat out a total of 4 1/2 seasons worth of games) he didn't even crack the 20,000 points and 10,000 rebounds milestone and his career was mired with controversies.
The Fab 5 had a big impact on the court- but if you're suggesting he should be acknowledged in the HOF by bringing black socks and baggy shorts while overlooking the biggest choke in NCAA history then you need a reality check.
Melo also has a weak NBA resume but as one dimensional as his game is, he's an automatic HOF'er (2nd ballot maybe) He's one of the best player in the Olympic stage.
When Kobe gets in, they might as well induct every player who has ever been on an NBA roster. The standards will be lowered to the point of non-existence. It won't even be the Hall of Pretty Good anymore, it'll be the Hall of Slightly Better Than 40-Year-Olds Playing Pick-Up Games at the Y.
The fact they do it every year means they must put someone in.
Maybe if they ever have a HOF for third round virgins they could induct the entire Clipper franchise![]()
Hall of shame. Lol
I think when guys don't get in on their 1st try that should be it. You were considered and found lacking. It should have nothing to do with how many other people are up for it that year, HOF is HOF.
T-Mac is first ballot. As is Vinsanity
