Tracy McGrady Believes He

The artist formely known as T-Mac thinks that he should be elected into the Hall of Fame once he hangs up his sneakers. Per Fox Sports: “A few years ago, McGrady looked bound to be a lock for the Hall of Fame. He had two scoring titles on his resume and seven straight All-Star appearances, all during seasons in which he averaged 24 or more points. But McGrady, 32, has been slipping dramatically the past several years, primarily because of injuries, and it might seriously damage his Hall hopes. During the past three seasons, he has averaged 7.5 points as a role player, including a mere 5.7 this year for Atlanta. For the first time in nine years, McGrady’s career scoring average dropped below 20. He’s now at 19.9. ‘I didn’t know that,’the swingman said of the baseball equivalent of a career batting average falling under .300. ‘I look back on it and still consider myself a 20-point-average person.’ Despite his legacy being tarnished as he plays out the string, McGrady also considers himself a Hall of Famer when all is said and done. ‘If we’re going by the numbers, I think they’re Hall of Fame numbers,’ said the 15-year veteran. ‘You total (two scoring titles) up along with my points, my playoff average (28.5 in 38 career games), so, yeah, I think I have the credentials.’” http://www.slamonline.com/online/nba/20 ... -of-famer/


Thoughts?

I think he'd be a lock had he stayed healthy and not missed so many games.

He's a 2 time scoring champion and was the best player in the league at one point in his career. I also think had he and Yao Ming both stayed healthy and won a title (which I think they could've done) he'd be first ballot, but considering the fact that he never got out of the first round the HOF voters will hesitate at first but I think Tracy will eventually get in so be it if he has to wait a few years.

Ehhh......I don't know. VERY short prime, no MVPs, no playoff series victories. They let a lot of guys in nowadays but that's not a very good resume.
