    Bosh has 10, will have 11 after this year

    Draymond Green is going to be in the hall of fame. I seriously can't believe people haven't figured this out. Klay is also more than likely going as well.

    Bosh will probably end up with 12-13, doesn't mean he was even in the same stratosphere as those other players with 10 or more, and if a 10x all star player were to miss the HOF, Bosh's career without LeBron would have a serious argument to do so

    Bosh currently has a 98.6% HOF probability, you can argue this all you want but Bosh is a HOFer and Lebron spent 4 years of his prime with 2 HOFers.. thats just a fact and something Curry doesn't currently have the luxury of..

    Lol, I'd never argue he isn't after the Big 3 era, but I seriously doubt he would have been if he never played with LeBron

    You realize making the hall of fame isn't really THAT difficult right? There are guys who were flat out role players in the hall. Plenty of guys who put up big stats on bad teams. Sure winning helps you get in, but it is hardly required.

    Vince Carter is a 100% no question lock for the hall and was 5-6 years ago.

    If you think Bosh is only a HOFer because of the 2 rings then you're very misinformed.

    Bosh with 2 rings has a 98.6% HOF probability

    Pau with 2 rings has a 80% HOF probability

    so obviously getting those two rings weren't what made Bosh a HOFer or Pau would be higher than 80% in HOF probability since he won 2 rings also

    Bosh wasn't a HOF'er when he signed with Miami and wasn't after his first season with Miami.

    One could argue he wasn't a HOF'er until after the 2012-13 season.

    Bosh only had 5 previous all-star selections before signing with Miami for the 2010-11 season. If his career ended after that season, he would not have been HOF material.

    so then you have to admit that 2x all star (prior to joining LA) Pau Gasol wasn't a HOFer either, so Kobe won his last 2 rings without a HOFer, Curry doesn't have a HOFer... but Lebron still had Wade who is and was a HOFer

    I doubt that's the path you want to go down..

    Lol, of course Gasol wasn't a HOF without Kobe

    You're clearly exaggerating there...

    Klay? Highly doubt he'll make the HoF... We'll see though...

    Draymond? Don't know...
    I mean, you got a dude like Bobby Jones who's one of the GOAT role-players; one of the greatest, most versatile defenders ever; won a ring; would've won DPOY at some point if it was awarded back then; made 8 straight all-defensive 1st teams; 4x all-star; 1st player to ever win 6th man of the year; always made the Playoffs, always played for top-winning teams; for 6 combined seasons averaged 14/7/3/ with 1.5 steals/blocks per game, on 55% FG and 77% FT; was once 2nd in WS/48 and 9th in PER; he's 13th all-time in FG%; he did his thing in the ABA... And he didn't make the HoF (yet)...
    Michael Cooper is another great example... Also one of the best role-players ever; one of the best defenders of all-time; won 5 rings as a good contributor; won DPOY; made 8 all-defensive teams; was the one who "ran" the Lakers' offense when Magic was on the bench; was a very good ball-handler/passer, capable of scoring in double-digits, very athletic, developed into a very good spot-up 3pt-shooter... Don't think he'll ever make the HoF...

    My nikka Sidney Moncrief is not in yet... And despite the lack of longevity due to injuries, he still won 2 DPOY's (most for a guard), was a 6x all-star, made 5 all-defensive teams, 5 all-nba teams (once 1st), was once top5 in MVP voting, was at one time the best SG in the league, averaged 21/6/5/1.5 on .592 TS% for 5 combined seasons, led some great, contending teams, did his shit in the Playoffs, almost made the Finals at one point...
    ****ing shameful that he's not in already though, especially with some of the players already selected

    Pau wasn't a HOF'er prior, doesn't mean he can't play like one, right?
    Kobe's last rings were won with a HOF coach.
    No, Curry has no HOF teammates just really good ones.
    LeBron did have Wade who was at his best in the 2010-11 season. After that Wade missed almost 60 reg. season games over the next 3 seasons due to injury or "maintenance rest"

    The selection of the reserves is not a popularity contest.
