Is Tracy McGrady a Hall of Famer at this point?

[knickscity]

If Tracy can get some playoff success, then yes. If not, questionable at best.

It is sad though how it works sometimes. Role players who literally latch on to teams who are on the verge are locks for it. Superstars not always get it.

Absolutely not and I'm a big Tracy McGrady fan. In my mind you have to accomplish some post season success, but he's a real good player. He still has time left.

Should of stayed in Orlando though. T-Mac & Dwight Howard= championships. In the East I mean come on...

If Tracy McGrady retired at the end of this season, he's a Hall of Famer. He has all the individual awards and accomplishments to make the hall.


People using the first round excuse, Pistol Pete never got out of the first round (except his last season with the Celtics and he barley played that season). Wilkins as mentioned earlier got of the first round twice I believe. Dave Bing never had any real post season success and also Connie Hawkins.


Here is something, every player with at least 6 or more All-NBA teams ia a Hall of Famer or future Hall of Famer.

So if T-Mac leaves Houston after this contract, go to the best team in the NBA at that time for vet minimum, wins the championship as a bench player, THEN he's worthy of being in the HOF?

I think playoff success is overrated for an individual player(obviously not when it comes to judging teams though). Especially since T-Mac has performed incredibly well during the playoffs.

His teammates? Not so much. How much of that is on T-Mac himself?

[apeman222]

no.

[Make It Rain]

Not a first ballot. But definitely a hall of famer. He's on the same boat as 'Nique.

You know what Tmac, has in common with Jordan, Wilt, Drobinson, and Shaq? There the only 5 players to have a 30+ PER in a season. Not saying stats are everything, but thats an elite company. Anyway, I think he should get in, cause similar players have gotten into the hall of fame, and even though he's never gotten out of the first round, its not really his fault. His teammates usually just weren't good enough, or in the Rockets case didn't perform well enough, while Tmac has always stepped his game up in the playoffs.

Isn't Ewing a hall of famer...He has no rings. So yes McGrady is going to be in the HOF.

[DieHardBullsFan]

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?


-22.4 PPG
-6.2 RPG
-4.6 APG
-1.4 SPG
-1.0 BPG
-43.9% from the field
-34.1% from 3s
-7x All-Star(8 if this year)
-2x All-NBA 1st team
-3x All-NBA 2nd team
-1x All-NBA 3rd team
-2x Scoring Champion

yes he needs a MVP to go along with this resume but hes 80 pct there though

random comment here:

I disagreed with someone on ISH about Nash being a HOF'er

I will have to agree with that person....

just for the simple fact that he has 2 MVP's and his stats most def. gets him in the HOF....I wont say first ballot but I think he gets in....

[trig]

tmac will eventually get it but he has to wait for a long time bec of lack of team success. It's easier to vote a guy that has good stats + championship(win or lose)

[Silverbullit]

Tracy McGrady has good chances to make the Hall of Fame, but he is no lock!

Among active players, there are...

Locks:
Shaquille O'Neal
Tim Duncan
Kevin Garnett
Allen Iverson
Steve Nash
Dirk Nowitzki
Kobe Bryant

Good chances:
Tracy McGrady
Vince Carter
Jason Kidd

[kidachi]

ahmmmmmmm. no!

[Zak]

He has a chance of making it, I'm not going to search for all the awards he has won and all his stats as people above have already done that for me.

The whole playoff failure can not be used against him, considering he was almost the only reason his team made it to the playoffs to begin with. (Now with the Rockets this season he has no excuse if he can stay healthy for the rest of the season, as the team isn't that bad.)
