I look at guys like Shawn Kemp, Maurice Lucas, Buck Williams, Tom Chambers, Detlef Schrempf, Yao Ming, Bill Laimbeer, all who have not been voted in. 5-time All-NBA aside, I don't think his career has too significant an edge (if any at all) on most of these guys.
Also Kevin Johnson's still not in! (rigged! ).
Yeah, KJ really needs to get in. Even his playoff series against Houston in '94 and '95 are HOF worthy (despite the fact that it occured in a losing effort both times - especially '95 was amazing - 28/4/9 on 66% TS is '15 Steph Curry-like statline, and he clearly outplayed Barkley in that series), and obviously he had that amazing 4-year run between '89 and '92.
Also, how about the fact that KJ is one of only three players in NBA history who averaged at least 20 points, 10 assists and shot 50% from the field in the same season? He actually did it twice, in '89 and '90, Magic also did it twice, CP3 has done it once so far.
I think Yao is a lock. He'll get in as soon as he's eligible.
Amar'e wouldn't be in my Hall of Fame, but I think he has a 50/50 chance. About the same as Chris Webber.
Forgot about Webber. There's one more PF who deserves to get in before Amar'e, imo.
