I was not a bit overboard on half of the league. I looked at 3 teams and over
half of the players from those 3 teams were in the Hall of Fame. 3 out of 8 teams. My guess is if I spent the time to go through all 8 it would be around 45% of all the players that played that year are in the Hall of Fame.

So anyone that is a 7 time All-Star is clearly Hall of Fame? Is Steve Garvey a clear Hall of Famer? He made 10 All-Star teams. How about Fred Lynn, Darryl Strawberry? The answer is no and they made more all-star games than Jo Jo.

Tracy McGrady had stats, I will give you that. But let's remember that he played with another Hall of Famer in Yao Ming for his most productive years. Yet zero playoff series wins. 2 Hall of Famers and zero playoff wins? That is crazy.

Year in year out the basketball Hall of Fame puts in more NBA players than the baseball HOF does. This despite the fact that a major league baseball team starts 8 position players, 5 starting pitchers and then a closer. Basketball starts 5.
