8x All-NBA; 5x All-Defensive

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

just realized who it is. i don't see him as a lock, but with 8 all-NBA and

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

2/20/18 2:22pm

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

2/20/18 2:50pm

Pretty fair assessment.

scootsy

2/20/18 2:51pm

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

2/20/18 2:18pm

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

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

Jdoc

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

I agree.

The basketball hall of fame is a joke and everyone gets in

It’s because they combined with everything else. They should

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

kimdaddy35

2/20/18 5:06pm

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

Tracy McGrady was a great player. definite HOFer. with his resume, cross it

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
