Who should get in the HOF First? 

Post#1 » by JHTruth » Wed Aug 5, 2009 8:19 pm

JoJo White or DJ?

Just a little summer diversion.

Who should get inducted first and do you think either will?

Not sure but DJ Jojo White sounds like someone who should be hosting a countdown radio show.

Probably JoJo, but I don't think it matters as long as both of them get in there.

I know, what a joke. Dumars was a good player and a nice guy, but in NO WAY, shape, or form is he a HOFer...JoJo and DJ were both FINALS MVPs, if I remember correctly, as well as among the top guards in the league when they player...

I don't think any of them should be in the HOF. I however agree with you when they let in Dumars in, White and DJ should be in as well.

Both DJ and White were *far* superior players to Dumars, in a much tougher league (yes, Dumars was on those late 1980s/early 1990s Pistons teams, but played all of the 1990s when the league was diluted beyond belief)...

Dumars is the Joe Morgan and Tony Perez of the NBA...a nice enough player who has no business being in the HOF...

Joe Morgan has no business being in the HOF????? You're out of your freaking ghourd.

Joe Dumars and DJ are on about the same level. I think people are wayyyy overrating Jo Jo White. Dumars and DJ were both excellent All-NBA type defenders. White was not. DJ should get in first, easily.

I remember the days of Hondo, Jo Jo and Red Cowens coached by Tommy H. Great gutsy teams that overchieved and won ships in 74 and 76. Jo Jo was fantastic on the break - great bank shot ala Sam Jones.
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.
