What if...NBA HOF

NaturalBuns · Post #1 » by **NaturalBuns** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 8:08 am

Tim Duncan
Steve Nash
Kevin Garnett
Ray Allen (if he returns)
Paul Pierce
Vince Carter
EDIT page 2: Shawn Marion

All retire in the same year. Who gets elected to the HOF first.
IMO they all deserve it they all have good accolades to show.

Maybe that's why Ray Allen is undecided just a thought.
They should all get in eventually but obviously your going to be ranked years down the road by who got put in the HOF first. (If all retired at once)

Who would you put in first?

Not going to happen but what would really make that scenario better is if Kobe and Dirk retired with them too. Half of the great legends of the 2000's retiring all together.

It's not a single person it's a group.
I agree Duncan first. But now the rest need a debate why they would be next over the other

Kevin Garnett (should be obvious 2nd)
Steve Nash - One of the best pgs to play
Ray Allen - GOAT 3 point shooter - 2 rings (homer clutch shot)
Paul Pierce - Not big on him but admired his fundamental footwork and skill also a winner who stuck it out in BOS.
Vince Carter - What could have been....

Duncan

Rest all together

Vince doesn't make it ever! He doesn't belong on that list. What has he done? In his short prime the Raptors never did anything. Then "jumpers knee" cut short his prime. Lack of a jump shot hurt his prime. He was fun and exciting for a couple of years but he's no HOFer. Everyone else mentioned mattered and did big things close to a decade or most of their careers, Vince Carter has only had 2-5 years when he even really mattered and even then, the teams opposing him weren't worried.

Fantastic in game dunker, awesome dunk contests. But when did his teams matter? Loved watching him over his career but Vince is on a much much lower tier than the other HOFers listed here so far. Vince shouldn't even be considered the first years he eligible or even 20 years after.

Seriously what has Vince done besides win a few dunk contests, be a sportcenter favorite, lead a few teams into the playoffs and most of the time flame out in the first round? Then find his calling as a great role player after his knees introduced him to gravity after a few short wasted prime years. He made lots of posters, lots of kids had his poster on their wall, he made sportscenter nightly in sportscenters prime, but the guy has been at best a role player. He's not HOF material.

Took Dennis Johnson forever to make the HOF, Vince isn't even on that level.

25th on the all time scoring list. 23,190 points. Every single person above him is in the HOF or is a lock for the HOF. Let me put it this way, he has a slight chance at passing Allen Iverson on the scoring list this year, let that sink in...

Vince Carter is clearly a lock for the HOF, probably not first ballot but definitely a lock

Timmy, Nash and KG will be elected at the same time, if they retire at the same time. Then Ray, Paul and Vince.

If Nash doesn't play again, won't he be a year ahead of the rest of them?

Why do people care about the basketball hall of fame anyway. It's like the Nobel peace prize. Some people deserve it, while some guys, well they just get it because of all the politics involved. It's not the "PRO" hall of fame, but rather an accolade for being a good basketball ambassador to the world. I don't even have to mention all the players that have and will get inducted into the basketball hall of fame, but don't deserve this honor. They are pretty obvious to spot, but we can't say their names because of the politics.

Does it really matter? All of the players you mentioned are making it sooner than later. :nod:

Duncan is clearly #1 by an enormous margin.

after that you have to go Garnett/Pierce, the next 2 best players and they have rings.

next Allen cause of the rings

toss up between carter and nash. nash the better player, but Carter much more popular/iconic

what a piss poor assesment of vinces career. it complete leaves out the 5 years he spent on the nets posting 24/6/4.

What has carter ever done? the guy is a 10 time all-star! 25th all time in scoring

he is a no doubt shoe in hall of famer

he was a gold medalist Olympian, one of the best dunker ever, iconic basketball representative. Its probably take years, but he will get in eventually.

I think Carter is one of the more overrated players in the history of the league but the guy is a lock for the HOF. Just his All Star appearances alone assure him a spot in the Hall.
