Yeah, if you're considered one of the 15 best players in the league for 8 years

yep. i've always said 5, but agree that if you bump it to 6, you're there

LeBron is going to break the record for all-NBA 1st team selections this year

Dwight Howard?

Yep. Pretty interesting case. Many people objectively look at him and doubt, but a look subjectively at the numbers tell

he was incredible during that stretch. I met him outside a Trump hotel in Vegas

It will take a while, but he will probably get in. I think

1st team all NBA 5x and all NBA 8x,and you're calling him a huge disappointment?

palangi

I admit I am being harsh. He could have been so much better.

C/PF are almost interchangeable in the modern game. Very few true C's left, but it doesn't mean Dwight didn't play

scootsy

2/20/18 2:45pm

That’s true. Shaq was still dominant for Howard’s early career. Duncan

Jdoc

Pretty fair assessment.

I'm surprised at the "comeback" he's had this year considering his

I think Howard is the evolved version of Alonzo Mourning. Howard was more

This is a pretty good comparison. Didn’t Mourning develop a

He did. Mourning had a pretty good mid-range game that helped him operate

Basketball hall of fame is actually very difficult to get into, almost on par with baseball. Unlike football and hockey

scootsy

2/20/18 2:49pm

I think a lot of people think it is easy to get into

Jdoc

2/20/18 2:52pm

LOL... lets take a quick look at some of the players you will recognize

kimdaddy35

2/20/18 3:15pm

Half the league is enshrined? Don't you think you are going a bit overboard?

Jdoc

2/20/18 3:51pm

I was not a bit overboard on half of the league. I looked at 3 teams and over

Basketball is a relatively new sport, and a lot of players have been inducted posthumously or long after their careers

How many teams someone played for is a qualification?

If he had not tapered off so quickly, he'd have a stronger resume.

With him it is "what should have been." But he has likely done enough for HoF
