Is Tracy McGrady a Hall of Famer at this point?

[Linas Kleiza]

Definitely not a 1st ballot HOF'er.

his scoring titles and popularity are all that he has.

-zero 1st round victories? terrible

Guys have made it with less than him.

sure, but its not a stat contest. those guys were either important on really good teams, or had something that set them apart. I persona

McGrady was the heart of those Magic teams. Take him off, and they probably win 30 games at best. He got them to the playoffs, and almost upset the #1 seed in 2003. They did choke, but they wouldn't have even been there had it not been for McGrady. He has 2 scoring titles and was putting up excellent numbers from both ends of the court. Not many guys have been able to do that.

The only hall he'll find himself in is at the hospital. The man has never been out of the first round of the playoff except when he was in Toronto watching his equally soft cousin Wince.

[evinecz]

T-Mac sucks. AI is older and still better.

T-Mac sucks. AI is older and still better.

And not as injured.

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

tru dat

My question to BIGSHOT applies to you too.

Because his career has not been good enough. How many HOF'rs never made it out of the first round? How many did not make it out of the first round when they were playing with a dominating center? He has only been first team all NBA a couple of times. He was only great on the offensive end of the floor. Just not enough.

[Linas Kleiza]

The 19 straight losses during his prime still stick out in mind.

[Bulls08Champs]

I think he was on a Hall of Fame path around the time he signed with Houston. His personal statistics are probably good enough. But the fact that he has never gotten out of the first round of the playoffs is what kills him. The fact that he and Yao have not advanced to the second round of the Playoffs together is pathetic.

22 ppg career average 16,000 career points doesn't put him in this man's catagory to be a HOF

T-mac if he averaged above 25 PPG and had 3-4 solid years without injury maybe ....

[RoseCity07]

Well Kobe gets in after riding Shaq to 3 titles. I think T Mac will get in if he uses Yao to win some titles. Right now it's tough to say.

He is famous as hell and won't be forgotten so why not? 13 in 35 makes him a legend. I think he'll get in.

Based on what I've seen is currently in the basketball HOF, I'd have to answer yes. His peak, and his entire body of work is worth it. I think if he retires today, he'd be borderline HOF. If plays another few injury-plagued years averaging even 20/5/5, I think he's in. Mainly because of his incredible peak, and the fact that he's famous enough to be voted in to so many all-star games(even if some undeserving).

If I had a vote would I vote for T-Mac? No. But that's because my personal standards are higher than the HOF. But then again, my standards mean squat because I don't make decisions on the HOF.

[MfC93]

Of course he will, he's had great games and seasons that not many would match. The monster teams TMac has matched up against in first rounds apart from Utah, should be taken into account, if thats questioned by the judges.
