He thinks Vince should go to the HoF partly because he went to the finals twice with new Jersey. But remember that players' opinions count more than fans'. :lol:

Agree with pretty well everything Oak said in that interview. Butch Carter is a nutcase but he's still one of the best coach the Raptors have ever had.

And Vince is a lock for the HOF.

Vince hands down is a HOF'r. Even though the memory of his departure still stings like getting dumped by one of the hottest chicks in school to this day. Dude was larger than life here to any young ball fan in that era

**** the Knicks for disrespecting such a beloved member of their alumni like they did.

I wouldn't be surprised if he praises the Raptors organization more following that situation though when he speaks to people. So, thanks for yet another gift Dolan!

I was about to say this. Vince has never played in the finals but he's still a no brainer for the HOF.

I know - that's my point. Oak mentioned Vince going to the finals twice with New Jersey

Old man yells at cloud...
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars

Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

No. I read Joker's post quite clearly and responded accordingly. Perhaps it's you with the reading comprehension problem?

Even when Oak isn't making sense, he's making sense.

Since when do rappers have to make sense when they make cents?

No way that VC isn't a HOFer. Just by career stats alone he makes it. BR has him at something like 95%+ to make the Hall.

Joker's comment was about Oakley saying Vince went to the finals twice, I don't know how that went over your head. He even started the post with "he thinks" (as in Oakley thinks).

I got that completely which was what my comment was based on. I even watched the video.

Again, it appears you didn't comprehend my original post and now the follow up post as well. Irony at its finest. :wink:

Since you said "I was about to say this" to a commenter that misunderstood Jokers' comment I assumed you also agreed with him. I didn't know you could take that phrase any other way. :-?

Once T-Mac got in the HOF it is pretty much cemented that Vince will be there too.

How could anyone not think he is HoF, especially with T-mac getting in there.
The man has so many highlight films that would be played over and over and over again for the centuries.
Just like Jerry West, just like Dr. J, just like Mike, just like Kobe etc.

and that is exactly why WE NEED TO RETIRE HIS JERSEY.

Yeah let's retire the jersey of a man who QUIT on the team and the city.

Return to Toronto Raptors
