Interesting. Now can you post their All-Star totals?

None of them should be in the HOF

Melo accomplished nothing as a star player, and Horry was just a role player.
He was clutch in some occasion, but he was just a role player.

It's the BASKETBALL HALL OF FAME.

Melo won a National Championship and 3 gold medals & was a 10x All-Star, 6x All-NBA & won a scoring title, those are HOF credentials. I'd also love to know how many players with 25k+ points aren't in the HOF.

Melo is a lock for HOF.

Right!! Melo day by day is starting to become underrated! Everybody CAN'T be a Bron, Bird, or KD! Everybody isn't a point forward type or great two way SF! Melo at his best was a great scoring and very good-great rebounding SF. He was one of the best SF's EVER at the most premium asset in the sport. And that's alpha dog level scoring! Scoring skillset wise, he's among the top 3 SF's ever along with KD and Bird.

Melo's BIGGEST mistake was choosing location and money OVER winning! Denver was the perfect setup for him to be the best player on a team WHILE contending for a title. He made the WCF in Denver at one point. After that, the Miami Big 3 was supposed to be him, Bron, and Wade.

But Melo chose money over taking a bit less to win rings. A prime Melo as a team's 3rd best player would have been all time scary! And of course would have won rings in Miami. The fact that people think a role player like Horry HAS A CASE over a perennial All Star and US Olympic staple is insane! Melo is a top 12-15 GOAT caliber SF!
