Is Grant Hill Hall of Fame bound?

[swi7ch]

Yes early on in his career but he got injured big time and missed a lot of years so I don't think he'll be going to the HoF. The voters tend to look at the player's entire career rather than just a few good years.

[Cali Syndicate]

You just answered your own question.

[Smoke117]

If he does it will take multiple nominees to finally get in. He's certainly not getting in right off the bat if he ever does. I would say he probably doesn't get in at all though.

[Meticode]

He is will. You have to look at his college career as well. They take that into account as well. It's not just the NBA HoF.

Exactly what I was thinking. And adding on the fact that he was an elite NBA player for several years as well won't hurt his chances either. Probably not a first ballet but I think he will get in.

7 time allstar.
5 All NBA team
17.5 6.3 rpg 4.3 apg (despite injury years, its almost same as Scottie Pippen )
Great College Career
Gold medal in olympics.
3 time sportmanship award, one of the most classy & beloved basketball player.

I think he is gonna make it.

Also led Duke to 3 title games, and won twice in a row. First time a college team since in the 70s were a program won back-to-back titles since UCLA.

Chris Mullin just got into the Hall of Fame, ok peoples.

Hill is in.

[DMV2]

Yeah, the Duke success and the Gold Medals would get him in.

[Noob Saibot]

I think Grant's college years alone might be good enough for him to make the hall of fame. And now he's 39, a starter for an NBA team, and still not retired. Remarkable.

Hill is in.

While Mullin and Hill both had nice college careers,

Mullin had a better NBA career

and Mullin has 2 Olympic gold medals.

Hill is one of of my favorite players so I'm not disregarding him as a player in any way but Hill shouldn't get in.

If he does get in, it will mainly be because of the way he overcame his tribulations if that counts at all.

[TheFan]

they will bullshit his way in... similar to Yao, something like, nicest player offcourt.

He did ...

Hill had more All-Stars and All-NBA teams and a better college career.

If Hill had Timmy and Richmond/Webber and Sprewell ... instead of Jerry Stackhouse and old Joe Dumars.

He probably will, but this is why I just do not like how people get into the hall. I dont think he really doesn't deserves to be in. He had a nice college career and a good 5-6 years in the NBA, but to me that shouldn't be enough to get in. Had he not been injured, he would have been a lock in the hall. I dont even think Chis Mullin should be in. I wish the Hall was more exclusive. But based on how players are inducted, Hill certainly has a good chance.

So who should get into the Hall of Fame? Players with 10+ years primes, never got injured and went deep into the playoffs year after year?

In that case, the hall would have about 20 players.

Everyone isn't Kareem, Jordan, Wilt or Russell. Hell, everyone isn't Barkley or Malone.
