Dennis Rodman 1 of 12 HOF Finalists for 2011, Pip Weighs In...

[Ruh-Roh]

He's not a lock, he didn't even get on the ballot his first try (forget being a finalist at that.)

When you introduce someone as future HOF'er on air at lease twice a week it soaks in to peoples thoughts, whether they know it or not. Reggie was snubbed this year same way Rodman was last year. He will get in. Mark my words .

Rodman was at least on the ballot as the final 12, they didn't even put him on the ballot.

[New York Knicks]

I'll bet you cash that Reggie makes it all the way in the next 2 years.

Depends on who else is eligible.

Rodman go go in that b!tch lookin like Holiday heart

[Showtime]

One of the best defenders and rebounders ever. No problem with him getting into the HOF.

Who retired after Miller that's really worthy of the hall? Gary Payton in 06 is the only one I can think of.

[WesWelkerACL]

I'll bite. His commentary can only get him so far.

His commentary is what's hurting him! It's awful.

Because now Jordan will have played with 2 HOFers and it kills the argument that he had no great inside presence.

Playing with HOF'ers doesn't take away from individual greatness. Real Jordan fans are Bulls fans, and we want #91 in there, now damnit.

The only people making those claims didn't see the games & base everything in stats. I know Bill Russell is accused of playing with a million Hall of Famers & to some that is a detriment to his reputation. I didn't see him play with my own two eyes for more than a few full games, but same principal.

Rodman!

When people talk about "inside presence", they are obviously referring to an offensively significant player who can draw a certain aspect of the defense and give a level of opportunity to a team not otherwise available. Rodman, while being an elite defensive player and rebounder, was nowhere near even capable offensively. Jordan is still one of the few players to win like he did without a dominating big.

I don't know. I haven't done any research on it, but considering who was chosen ahead of Reggie....Ralph Sampson? LOL. Jamaal Wilkes? LOL.

The HOF is a joke if Miller gets in and Artis Gilmore dosen't.

At least he won. Kobe played with Shaq, Payton, and Malone and LOST.

I agree, but I've seen it argued through the years that Jordan didn't play with a great cast and has no inside presence.

and what does Kobe have to do with this?
