What do you guys think. Did they miss anybody? Is there someone on the list who won't make it?

Discuss.

Are there a ton of points awarded for Slam Dunk Compe ions? How is VC ahead of Kidd?

Yeah, I'm not seeing how Vince Carter has a 94% probability of entering the HOF. I'd say more like 70%.

Dirk is a HOF?

MVP, led his team to the Finals, has consistently led the Mavs into the playoffs... those are pretty good credentials.

**Lebowski Brickowski** · 03-11-2008

Ginobili should be # 6

Nash got robbed of that MVP.

Fixed.

**jag** · 03-11-2008

**MoSpur** · 03-11-2008

Damn didn't even see that. Agreed.

**BlackSwordsMan** · 03-11-2008

AI over Kobe? What a terrible list.

**Xylus** · 03-11-2008

I think Kobe is a 100% lock for the HOF.

**urunobili** · 03-11-2008

. Vince Carter 0.9401
. Tracy McGrady 0.8593
. Paul Pierce 0.8487

all of those <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Manu

**urunobili** · 03-11-2008

in their chances to make it there i meant

**Lebowski Brickowski** · 03-11-2008

16. Tony Parker 0.3668

**Lebowski Brickowski** · 03-11-2008

27. Manu Ginobili 0.0542

**Xylus** · 03-11-2008

That list becomes more and more horrible as you go down toward the bottom.

**jag** · 03-11-2008

I'm actually surprised Manu doesnt have more consideration for his world accomplishments...

**barbacoataco** · 03-11-2008

Vince Carter, Arenas and Ray Allen are questionable as HOF'ers.

IMO a HOF'er should be either:
1. A player who was the best player on a team that either won the championship, or at least got to the Finals. Such a player should have a Finals MVP on their resume. Most of the all-time greats qualify- Jordan, Bird, Duncan, Kareem, Olajuwon etc.

2. A player who was the best player at their position for at least a 4-5 year stretch, and also had success in the playoffs. A player like John Stockton gets in here.

3. A great individual player who led the league in important stats multiple times. This concerns players like Dominique Wilkins and Iverson (who also barely gets in under #1.)
