That little sumbitch was fast as fuck.
He was in the league for 15 yrs and really did have some game.

I remember him. He was a blast too watch. But unless they are honoring him as the only midget to ever play in the NBA, he's not a hall of famer, imo.

Yeah, I don't know how the eligibility process works, but seeing he's now up with the first timers who retired 12 years after he did, the chances are not looking good.

Man this is tough. I tried to pick out just 3 of the eligible players and couldn't even decide on that. I think one of the lock's should really be Chris Webber this year, considering the strength of this HOF class.

After that it's kind of a crap shoot. If you look at the careers of Mark Price, Tim Hardaway and Kevin Johnson, it's really pick your preference. Johnson retired really young, while Hardaway played a bit longer at the end, when he wasn't nearly as effective. KJ had the highest peak too, imo.

Ben Wallace could get in considering how many DPOY's he received in his career. But even as accomplished as he was defensively, it's would be hard for me to vote for a guy who only scored a career total of 6,254 points. By comparison, Dikembe Mutombo scored 11,729 in his career.

I loved Muggsy. He was a legend to me because I was also short. He also played for the Warriors at one point in his career too. But he's not Hall worthy.

Tracy McGrady probably had the highest peak of anyone in this class and sustained it for a good 5-6 years, so I think he's probably in too.

Gun to my head to pick 3, I'd go with Webber, McGrady and KJ.
