Players you think should be in HOF but aren't

[bksballer89]

You clearly don’t get it.

Does he ever?

 

[HurricaneDij39]

Yeah, that is what I have been saying all along.

And that is why Randy Smith isn’t a Hall of Famer.

Randy Smith and Draymond virtually have nothing in common. More than anything, one was privileged and the other wasn't.

And?

There are a lot of guys in the HOF who got there mostly because they were fortunate enough to play with great teammates in great teams.

That isn’t exactly earth shattering news.

 

[HurricaneDij39]

How can you profess to be some kind of basketball expert and make a statement like this.

Draymond is a much more rounded player than Rodman.

In the Bulls final title year Rodman shot 43 percent shooting nothing but 6 feet and in. That's horrible.

Didn't really claim to be an expert at any point. I just don't feel too many others set the bar too high.

If you want to say that Draymond is more well-rounded than Rodman, it's a legit argument. Mine was that Rodman's one defined skill helped him get in...

No doubt about it. Here's a perfect example of a former player that just doesn't have the numbers to be in the HOF but go in because of his 8 rings. K.C. Jones. He averaged 7.4 ppg & 4.3 asts.

Draymond is a PF who averages 7 assists a game.

But also because of his coaching

Good call. Wasn't even thinking about that. 500+ wins, won better than 60% of his games and led the Celtics to two titles.

Am I correct that there is no NBA Hall? The basketball hall is the Naismith Hall of Fame which would include amateur levels, international players, women’s and men’s, coaches, etc…

This is correct

It's a culmination of all things basketball.

That's why Laetnner is in

When Draymond gets in why do you think that'll be, because of his personality?

He's a damn good defender. Has a great knowledge of game, his assists are proof of that.

And is an original key member of the Warriors dynasty.

He's getting into the HOF. There's no doubt about it.

It’s unique in its format so I’ll give it that. However, I would prefer an NBA Hall exclusively.

Would make it interesting

Does a guy like Webber get in without the 2 college finals?

The play that defines his career.

I say C. Webb doesn't belong in the HOF.

But I also want Charles Woodson (damn great player) kicked outta Canton.

So I might be just a little biased.

OUCH!

But sadly, true. Great talent, not a great mind.

He was a good one. And the Fab Five were something else.

Nope. Not for me.
