the old Miami Arena was filled in the mid 90s with fans. As much shit as people give Miami for its sports fan (and alot of it is fair), Miami has shown up pretty well for the Heat since Riley came to town and consistently put up a competitive product.

Zo to the Hall. I just hope timmy goes with him. Zo was my all time favorite player until 2006 when DWade brought home the title.

It kinda irks me that the HOF is for all of basketball around the world, not just NBA. I see some guys and I'm like "Nope, not a HOFer" and then I remember "I bet they'll get in because of their college career or something".

 

[bksballer89]

Yeah I really wish the NBA would get with the program and have their own HOF

 

[Flauge]

horrible the NBA doesnt have their own hall. players could enter into team sections. kind of like the NFL

The Rock, Hardaway, and Mourning. They have to be locks.

Kevin Johnson ftw

Spencer Haywood was such a beast. Got to see him live a few times while he still played for Denver. You almost wondered if he had been genetically altered or something.

That is some low wattage star power.

There are plenty of good candidates with solid careers, but not a single superstar.
Outside of their own frothing fanbases, none of those guys were stars on a larger scale.
I would not be surprised to see a complete whiff for all of them.

Zo probably has the highest chance at around 85%, but if he comes up short it would not be shocking.
Hardaway failed last time, so I think with a weaker class he is about 65% chance.
Haywood is getting a lot of oldtimer support for his constant snubs, he is about 60%.
Richmond failed before and seems to be losing support, give him maybe 30%.

The other names are crapshoots based on the whims of the voters.

My guess is that Zo and Haywood make it.
Hardaway and Richmond have try again next year.

I do agree that this is a weak class

David Stern is now a member of the Basketball HOF...

Basketball HOF seems like a boring club everybody gets into.

I agree

Haywood and Mourning are the 2 locks. Hardaway and KJ will probably get in, but I would say no to Richmond. The coaches can be sorted out by somebody else.
