Have you seen some of the people in the Basketball Hall of Fame?

In a perfect world, none of them should be there. But in the real, flawed as hell Hall of Fame, most of them will get in...

How can anyone who has any knowledge of basketball say that Allen Iverson is not HOF worthy?

Its the Hall of Fame, not the Hall of greatest basketball players of all time.

If it's about fame, no doubt AI should get in. If it's about the best players, he should not. He took a disproportionate share of his team's shots, which is okay in some scenarios but not when you only shoot 42% from the field. He had relatively few assists, and was a turnover machine.

They factor 'performance in practice' into their vote?

Timberwolves announce they have waived Josh Howard, who has a torn ACL and needs season-ending surgery.

I hate you Farvio. :lol:

Plus I never said that. I don't think.

I'm positive he was on that list of potential HOFers you compiled a few years ago.

Carter - no
Hill - no
Rasheed - yes
McGrady - no
Iverson - yes

but this is operating under the premise that the Basketball HOF is anything but a turnstile.

Holy suck, that's a bad list.

At least Kevin Martin made it though.

Well, being the biggest Josh Howard fan on the board that's a big fucking disappointment. Here I was, all happy that he was getting one last run with a good young team. Ah well...

well the fact that isn't the NBA HoF but "Basketball" HoF is certainly ridiculous

Basketball HOF is the good guy HOF, so Sheed is out G Hill is in.

Can Battier be too far behind?????
