Alonzo had a very good career but he was not a hall of famer.

I think this may have something to do with a trade. The Heat cannot deal a retired player, but they can deal an injured player.

If your putting him in the hall of fame, its based on his pre kidney disease performance. No one makes the hall of fame off being a 15mpg player.
He only played 8 seasons during that stretch. He only finished in the top 10 of MVP voting two times (both times top 5). He only made two all-NBA teams and made two All-NBA defensive teams. His teams won only four playoff series with him as the best player.
His peak was very short and wasn't high enough to overcome its brevity. Also he lacked the playoff moments. In short a very good career but not a hall of famer. I understand why people feel otherwise.

^After being traded he could then just retire, correct?

Bull. Players make the HOF based on the entirety of their careers, not just what they did in their primes.
He only played 8 seasons during that stretch. He only finished in the top 10 of MVP voting two times (both times top 5). He only made two all-NBA teams and made two All-NBA defensive teams. His teams won only four playoff series with him as the best player.
He was also the two time DPOY, an Olympic Gold Medalist, and a great college player (which counts).
His peak was very short and wasn't high enough to overcome its brevity.
Bill Walton ring a bell?
Also he lacked the playoff moments. In short a very good career but not a hall of famer. I understand why people feel otherwise.
Hitting a buzzer beating series winner against the Celtics in 1993, legendary battles with the Knicks, and 6 shots blocked in the decisive game of the finals? Those aren't big playoff moments?

Nope, is there anything wrong with it? I know its a little long, but its not too large or anything, I didn't think there was a problem.

I believe it's only supposed to be 440x90 and the sig you're sporting is 500x90. You probably do need to trim it down...

He was 2nd in 1999 and 3rd in 2000.
