Lamarcus Aldridge HOFer?

[Beethoven]

No he aint.
I mean, if he gets in there, I dont consider the Hall of Fame anything special or lofty.

this is an easy yes. those that are saying no don't respect what LMA brought to the game with his inside/post talent which we rarely see. Peak LMA is > peak Bosh and KLove

Peak Bosh was considerably better/more impactful

Chris Webber is the cutoff (5 All-Star games). Everyone else with more is in the Hall.

Just a note:All Stars are not a real thing, or should not be, anymore. First, they can't account for guys like Rodman, and second,the E/W unbalance has made West All Stars far more telling than East All Stars for decades (Of course West All Stars are prescisely what LaMarcus has).

All NBA are more telling, and there, somehow, LaMarcus was always kind of the last big selected by writers who often as not just didn't want to vote for other guys more than they were enthusiastically jocking LaMarcus. Still, when it comes hall time, those distinctions are unlikely to be made. He's a s uninspiring as a HOF pick as he was as a star, but similar in a way to Vince, who just refused to retire and chugged his way to the HOF by raw stat accumulation, LaMarcus stayed healthy and kept on piling up numbers for so long he's almost in now without ever having been in a "best of" or "Top 10" conversation in his career.

It's the Basketball Hall of Fame, not the NBA Hall of Fame.

Vince would have still been HOF if he retired 8 years ago.

Jack Sikma is in the HOF. 7x All-Star, never sniffed All-NBA. Nobody cares about whatever gatekeeping you just tried to argue for. It's a museum, not a monument.

I disagree.
