What active players are HOF worthy?

[Glenn]

A place to discuss the HOF merits of various players.

I'll start with Jason Kidd.

He just moved into 4th place in assists, all time (passing Oscar Robertson).

I say he's in.

[Glenn]

Active players in the top 25 all time in either points, assists, rebounds, steals, blocks

Shaq (points, rebounds, blocks)
AI (points, steals)
Kobe (points)
Mutombo (rebounds, blocks)
KG (rebounds, blocks)
Kidd (assists, steals)
Nash (assists)
Marbury (assists)
Duncan (blocks)
Camby (blocks)
Ben Wallace (blocks)
Theo Ratliff (blocks)

Guys who are playing now who are in if they died this morning.

Kobe, Shaq, Timmy, Manu (international), Nash, AI, Deke, KG

Maybe: Pierce, Ray Allen, Ben, TMac, Dirk....you could put Dirk and Pierce in the "in" column I guess. Bron may be here as well.....he's already done some crazy shit.

[Timone]

On that list, these are my "yes" men:

Shaq (points, rebounds, blocks)
AI (points, steals)
Kobe (points)
KG (rebounds, blocks)
Kidd (assists, steals)
Nash (assists)
Duncan (blocks)

Everyone else is either a "no" (Camby, Marbury, Ratliff [it was tough]) or an "undecided"

[Glenn]

The list I posted in #3 shows that a single category isn't enough to get you considered, IMO, unless you are Kobe (he's far from done and he'll get in the top 25 in a few more cats).

Theo and Marbury surprised me. I was also surprised that Duncan is only in the top 25 in blocks.

[Vinny]

T-Mac's a no in my book, though the NBA does put just about anybody in.

[Timone]

I'm pretty sure Wade is in the top 1 in courage.

[Hermy]

I'm pretty sure Wade is in the top 1 in courage.

This was actually the next guy in line for maybe. Superstar, has a title.....?

[Fool]

Championships should be a category.

[Glenn]

Championships should be a category.

Good point, have at it.

Big Baby has one.

jk I know what you mean. Having one (or more) enhances one's case if he has the stats, it does nothing for those that don't.
