2013 Basketball Hall Finalist just announced
 

The NBA Players who made the final cut.

Gary Payton
Bernard King
Spencer Haywood
Mitch Richmond
Tim Hardaway
Maurice Cheeks

Who out of these 6 will make the cut?

A pair of Johnsons (Maurice and Kevin), Vlade Divac, Rudy Tomjanovich and Paul Westphal didn't even make the final cut.

Can Bernard King finally get in?

Re: 2013 Basketball Hall Finalist just announced
 

Bernard King is in. I hope The Glove will be in too.

Re: 2013 Basketball Hall Finalist just announced
 

Spencer Haywood should be first on that list. Crime that he isn't in already.

Re: 2013 Basketball Hall Finalist just announced
 

What the freaking hell? Still no Oscar Schmidt or Nikos Galis?

The voters for this are a damn joke.

Re: 2013 Basketball Hall Finalist just announced
 

Oscar got inducted today. I was mearley talkin of the NBA talent as probably only 7 people on this form know who Oscar Schmidt is.

FIBA HoF should be enough, eh?

Re: 2013 Basketball Hall Finalist just announced
 

Gary Payton is a lock. He's a better player than any of the hall-of-famers on the stage today, including Drexler.


Mitch is deserving. I hope he gets in. Hardaway will probably be in at some point, tho I'm not 100% sure he should be...but probably. It's ridiculous that he's here right now and Kevin Johnson is not. Kevin Johnson was absolutely the better player. Should be in the Hall-of-Fame already.


Haywood is likely to go in. Odd that he's not already in. And Bernard King did enough at his peak that he will be in one day and this seems to be an open year.


Is there a maximum number of guys who can get in?


Also, great to see Schmidt get in.

Uh, no.

Re: 2013 Basketball Hall Finalist just announced
 

Well GP should def be a first ballet. They already f*cked Reggie a few years back with that.

Re: 2013 Basketball Hall Finalist just announced
 

Payton, Bernard King, Haywood, and Richmond.

I bet Hardaway is getting toyed with for another year because of his 'anti gay' remarks. Richmond has more accolades than Cheeks.

Re: 2013 Basketball Hall Finalist just announced
 

I think all of them should be in. That's a solid list. There's always a snub though. It'll be interesting to see how that all plays out.

Re: 2013 Basketball Hall Finalist just announced
 

I think Payton, Cheeks and King are in. Really not sure Mitch makes it in this round.

Tim Hardaway I'm just afraid will miss the cut because of the shit he's said since his retirement about gays and everything. Not saying it SHOULD impact it, but I'm sure there would be some sort of backlash if they decide to honor him

Re: 2013 Basketball Hall Finalist just announced
 

I got the Glove for sure on that list.

Anyone else is a toss up.
