*Irving

Erving is already in the HOF

5 most likely

He's in his early 20s, he has a whole lot of work ahead of him to earn HOF consideration.

NBA still going on? Stopped watching after the T-Blazerz exited…worthless pro sport, GO HOCKEY!

Pointing out spelling... but yes, plenty to prove.

 

[ericd7633]

Klays gonna be a HOF without question. I'd take his trajectory over Draymonds at the moment.

 

[broncosmitty]

Four, maybe five.

You don't think Klay is going to make it? I'd have him as the 4th most likely IMO. He's going to finish his career in the top 50ish in points and will most likely have multiple rings. If a guy like Joe Dumars is in the HOF, I don't see how Klay can't make it.

Say what you want but having two teams like this in the finals is awesome. And dubs are so deep off the bench. Not the dubs of the past

Here are the current HOF probabilities according to bbref:

LeBron: 100%
Durant: 99.8%
Curry: 95%
Love: 42.8%
Klay: 2.3%

Kyrie and Draymond haven't played in the required 400 minimum games yet to be included.

If Draymond makes it, it won't be because of the numbers. He may not even get to 10,000 points if the Warriors are constructed the way they are for the next 5 years or so. I think he'll be a fascinating case.

No love for JEVALE MCGEE? LOL. Nice swat last night though...

You have to watch the games and isolate on Green to really appreciate his value.
I think he's the best defensive player in the game today. He plays man well and he's brilliant in team defense.

I think Kawhi's the best defensive player in the league right now.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Two.

 

[BallsOfFurry]

I think Kawhi's the best defensive player in the league right now.

Best in being able to guard anybody one on one maybe, but Green is the best I've seen in team defense. There's a video where he guards all 5 players on 1 play.

Draymond actually has a stronger case than most think because it's a Basketball HOF and not an NBA Hall of Fame. The Basketball hall of fame includes your collegiate record and achievements there, for which Draymond was pretty decorated.

I'd say right now I'd go with:

Lebron - Yes
Curry - Yes
Durant - Yes
Kyrie - Good chance
Draymond - Good chance
Kevin Love - Maybe
Klay Thompson - Maybe


Lebron, Curry and Durant will all be in the HOF, even if they all stopped playing tomorrow. Tracy McGrady was just inducted recently and both Curry and Durant are already better than he was.

Kyrie has a great chance to get in because he's so young and already accomplished. As a scorer he'll probably be able to make his way in. He's got room to grow as a player too, and the upside is clearly there. I think he has a great shot of getting in some day given his current trajectory.

Draymond has a good chance too especially if he keeps up his defensive ability. Dennis Rodman is in the HOF and he only made the all-star team twice and ended with a career average of 7.3 points a game. The huge difference here is that Rodman is a 2x DPOY and 7 time all NBA Defense first team. Draymond already is an All NBA second teamer, all NBA 3rd team, 2x Allstar, two time runner up DPOY, 2x First team all NBA Defense, with likely a DPOY coming this year for him and this is only his 5th season in the league. If Draymond continues to be a play maker, his assist, rebounding and defense should definitely garner him some attention.

Love would have been a no-brainer a couple years ago, but he's been up and down with his time with the Cavs. I think the biggest indicator of whether or not he'll get in is Chris Bosh. If Bosh gets consideration then I think Love will too. But there's a possibility.

Klay I think will get some attention too because of his shooting and scoring, but the way he gets in, IMO, is if the voters start to recognize his defensive contributions. As of this date he hasn't made an all-NBA defense team, which I think hurts him a bit, but there are better defenders than him that have gotten those votes. He'll have to be acknowledged mostly as a two way player by the voting committee.
