Has any team took out 8 HOF players in the postseason like the Mavs did in 2011?

[1987_Lakers]

Round 1: Aldridge
Round 2: Kobe & Gasol
Conference Finals: Durant, Westbrook, & Harden
Finals: LeBron & Wade

[Inferno]

Aldridge and Harden aren't HOF players...and neither is Westbrook right now...

[1987_Lakers]

Aldridge and Harden aren't HOF players...

Aldridge - 22/9 player. 23/11 this season.
Harden - 25/5/6 player.

If Mitch Richmond can get in the HOF I don't see why these guys can't if they continue this type of play for the years to come.

aldridge will probably be a HOFer and i'm sure harden will be eventually

[IncarceratedBob]

Lmfao Aldridge and Harden. Fvck outta here.

[Milbuck]

:biggums: In what sick, twisted, thoroughly smelly and pungent dimension is Harden a future hall of famer?

[Smook A.]

Remove that user title. You ain't reppin Houston

[SCdac]

It's a TEAM game anyways, not 1 v 1 or 3 v 3... Just look at how great the 2004 or 2013 Lakers were with all their HOF'ers... You forgot to throw broken down Brandon Roy in as one of you "Hall of Famers" :facepalm

Bosh is going to be a HOF'er.

Jamaal Wilkes made it without even making an All-NBA Team. People have no idea how lenient the voters are. You don't have to be a super star to make it.

[KobesFinger]

2010 Lakers

Thunder - Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, James Harden
Jazz - Deron Williams
Suns - Steve Nash, Amar'e Stoudemire
Celtics - Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo

[wally_world]

LMa and Harden MIGHT be HOF-ers some day, but at that point of their careers (and frankly even till right now), neither has done anything to make the case. So they shouldn't count.

[ArbitraryWater]

OP is right though

[red1]

I still cant believe they beat miami that year

[ArbitraryWater]

2010 Lakers

Thunder - Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, James Harden
Jazz - Deron Williams
Suns - Steve Nash, Amar'e Stoudemire
Celtics - Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo

Well Deron Williams better not be a HoF, still, 9 Players :applause:

(Though Harden wasnt shit yet)

[Frozen1]

LOL @ Westbrook and Harden.

[Carbine]

Hardens 24 years of age with:

2X All Star
3rd Team All-NBA
NBA Sixth Man of Year

and you can add at least an All-NBA Second team to that list for this year.

He easily projects to be a HOF type player. Nothing wrong with saying that. Only thing stopping him is injuries.

Yep. No question about it.

[SCdac]

If we're being liberal about who's making the HOF... and assuming every current player will play till 35 years of age

2005 Spurs --- Nash, Amare, Marion, Wallace, Wallace, Billups, Allen, Carmelo, Camby, Johnson, McDyess

2004 pistons --- Shaq, Kobe, Payton, Malone, Redd, Kidd, Artest, O'Neal, Reggie, Kukoc

1999 Spurs --- Garnett, Shaq, Kobe, Sabonis, Sheed, Rice, Horry, Camby, Houston, Sprewell

2012 Heat --- Durant, Westbrook, Harden, Dirk, Carmelo, Chandler, George, Allen, Garnett, Pierce, Rondo

:biggums: Liberal indeed

[SCdac]

Hey I didn't set the precedent. You can argue some of these players all day but what's the point of the thread really? Harden currently is no more of a HOFer than Redd IMO. And Chandler got a DPOY and Championship. Worse players have gotten in.

That 2003-04 Lakers team is the definition of stacked;


Shaquille O'Neal
Horace Grant
Karl Malone
Stanislav Medvedenko
Brian Cook
Rick Fox
Devean George
Luke Walton
Kobe Bryant
Kareem Rush
Bryon Russell
Gary Payton
Derek Fisher
Jannero Pargo

And they still lost.

2011 Heat: Shaq, Rondo, Allen, KG, Pierce, Rose, Noah... 7

[SCdac]

:no:

lol 2012 Heat beat Dirk? :lol

typo/wasn't thinking

[ILLsmak]

:biggums: Liberal indeed

lol you didn't think Marion was liberal?

[SCdac]

For real though, would anybody be surprised if Marcus Camby made it into the HOF? ... I wouldn't

Eh, how many guys were in their primes though? :confusedshrug: Sometimes it's about the level of performance, and you have to throw names completely out the window.

If Malone didn't hurt his knee, the season doesn't unfold the same way. Truth be told, I wasn't expecting to make it to the Finals anyway. The TWolves seemed like a team of destiny, and I fully expected them to get past us and beat Detroit (but Cassell hurt his back).

It is what it is...

[Thorpesaurous]

8 actually seems like a relatively small number.

Just off the top of my head The Pistons of the late 80s would've gotten Bird, McHale, Parish, DJ, Worthy, Magic, Kareem ... just in the last two rounds. That's 7 right there. I'd have to look up who they got in rounds 1 and 2. Most of the teams from that era are going to put up big numbers in this regard. The league wasn't as diluted, and more teams were able to fill there bench with later career HoFers.

The 87 Celtics would've have five with Walton on the bench. There were Sixer teams with Malone, Doc, and Barkley.

[LAZERUSS]

Chamberlain's '67 Sixers crushed 11 HOFers in the '67 post-season...

Oscar, Lucas, Russell, Havlicek, Howell, Sam Jones, KC Jones, Satch Sanders, Wayne Embry, Rick Barry, and Nate Thurmond....in three playoff rounds.

[KobesFinger]

For real though, would anybody be surprised if Marcus Camby made it into the HOF? ... I wouldn't

I would. Sure he won a DPOY (which could've been Duncans) but 0 all stars, 0 All NBA teams and only 4 All D teams (2 2nd team) in 18 years. I say only because defence is supposed to be his specialty. Solid player but not a HOFer to me.

I could also add Rasheed Wallace to the 2010 Lakers as he's on your list

[Cone]

what made this great was that the mavs had only 1 star :eek:

dirk is too underrated :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[SamuraiSWISH]

:applause: @ taking out LeBron, Kobe, Durant, and Wade all in one post season.

[dazzer87]

2010 Lakers

Thunder James Harden
Jazz - Deron Williams
Suns - Amar'e Stoudemire

kobe stan.......:facepalm

[Kblaze8855]

Any team that won in the 80s would have to come close. You would get 5 just off beating the Celtics some years. Or 4 from the Lakers. 3 or 4 vs the Pistons. Philly could have 3-4 at a time.

Hell the Knicks at one point had I think Reed, Lucas, Frazier, Monroe, Dave D, and Bill Bradley. At times a couple others thrown in outside their peaks. Not to mention Phil Jackson who doesnt really count I guess. You get 7 just beating them.

[TimmyDuncan]

The '58 St Louis Hawks took out 13 HOFers in 2 playoff rounds

[sportjames23]

1991 Bulls:

Knicks: Patrick Ewing
76ers: Charles Barkley
Pistons: Isaiah Thomas, Joe Dumars, Dennis Rodman, Bill Laimbeer*, Mark Aguirre*
Lakers: Magic, James Worthy


*Laimbeer and Aguirre arent 't the Hall, but they should get in one day.

[Odinn]

Top of my head;
1989 Pistons;
1st round; McHale, Parish, DJ
ECF; Jordan, Pippen
Finals; Magic, Kareem, Worthy

And it is not even hypothetical.

[TheMarkMadsen]

01 Lakers took out

Pippen, Sheed, Sabonis, Kemp, Vlade, Webber, Duncan, Robinson, Iverson, Mutombo

[TheMarkMadsen]

Lakers 02

Pippen, Sheed, Kemp, Randolph, Duncan, Robinson, Parker, Vlade, Webber, Kidd

[Marchesk]

The HOF is too easy. There should be an NBA one, and it should be reserved for top 30 all-time kind of players. That way, it's a really high honor, not just good players that get in because they had visible careers and were well known.

Seeing some of the names on here. SMH

[Marchesk]

Actually, I'd be for a top 25 NBA career, and you get taken out when you're not longer in the top 25.

That way, only a few guys like MJ, Kareem and Wilt would stay in there forever.

2054 and it's like, "Oh man, Lebron just got bumbed out two years after Kobe and Duncan. But Wilt's still in there."

[AintNoSunshine]

It was a pretty impressive run indeed, too bad they didn't get to play Duncan and co. otherwise it would've been a perfect run

[TheNaturalWR]

You would have been better off saying Dirk took out the two best players in the game in the Finals.

[kennethgriffin]

Round 1: Aldridge
Round 2: Kobe & Gasol
Conference Finals: Durant, Westbrook, & Harden
Finals: LeBron & Wade


lol WUT

[houston]

Dirk and Jason Kidd did their thang in that run.
