Is Tracy McGrady a Hall of Famer at this point?

[White Chocolate]

His back is starting to get worse and worse, and his time is certainly running out. Would be a Hall of Famer if he retired at the end of this season?

It's the Hall of Fame.... not the Hall of Really Good.

Guys have made it with less than him.

[i seen hippos]

VC will make it before he does.

He was certainly good in his prime, and was a great scoring threat, but wasn't able to keep it up for a long enough period of time, didn't really bring a lot of intangibles, and so far hasn't had much playoff success.

My theory on the HOF is...........if there is ANY question as to whether or not they belong, then they don't.

I think he's in. He does have multiple scoring titles, and the list of guys with that who are not in is really short. I think it's just Adrian Dantley, and by most accounts, he should be in too.

Dominique Wilkins didn't have much success in the playoffs, but he got in. Of course he played much longer and scored a bit more, but T-Mac could play defense just like Dominique.


Does Kobe Bryant belong in the Hall of Fame? I had to ask, so I guess he doesn't belong.

[BIGSHOT]

No.

[White Chocolate]

No.

Why not?

[vert48]

No

[White Chocolate]

No

My question to BIGSHOT applies to you too.

Well, I simply don't think he has accomplished enough team-wise or individual wise. Of course he will probably make it because the basketball hall-of-fame is the easiest to get into.

At least you gave a reason. I'm still waiting for the other dude to respond, perhaps he's afraid he'll get burned. Anyway, Dominique Wilkins was on a Hawks team that wasn't that good most of the time. The Hawks peaked in 1988, coming 1 win away from the ECF.


T-Mac was in a similar position. Toronto was a decent team, but that was when the East was half way decent. Orlando was no better than Toronto, some would say Orlando was worse. Houston for the past 4 years have been up and down. It's hard to have much team success when your supporting cast sucks and the team needs you to score 30 PPG.

[The Chosen One]

no way

no way

Give a reason please? I'm tired of these 1 and 2 word answers.
