Current HOF Players

[Oregon Ownage]

With the discussion of Moses not being in the Hall of Fame, which current players are most deserving of being a Hall of Famer?

I will nominate Ralph Sampson

[Cellar-door]

Magic, all-time leader is several categories, bunch of rings, ton of all-league appearances

[The Bean Regime]

Oh I found the post where the developer says a player needs 25,000 HOF points to make it.

So, just out of curiosity, what are the HOF points of some of the top old players? Like Scott, Sampson, Magic, Schmidt.

DRob has gotta be in there

[offtheheezy]

The ex Grizzlies duo is the only answer

[The Bean Regime]

Took a look at some players and picked out some I figured would make it. And then added Kenny Smith as potentially since his resume is pretty good so far with that MVP.

Sure-fire actives:
Magic Johnson (15 seasons):
3 Rings, 1x MVP, 2x Playoff (Finals?) MVP, 13x All-League, 7x All-Defense
#5 points, #1 assists, #1 steals

Hakeem Olajuwon (11 seasons):
0 Rings, 2x DPOTY, 8x All-League, 6x All-Defense
#11 Points, #13 Rebounds, #2 Blocks

Ralph Sampson (12 seasons):
5 Rings, 2x MVP, 3x Playoff MVP, 7x All-League, 4x All-Defense
#10 Points, #5 Rebounds, #3 Blocks

Oscar Schmidt (14 seasons):
3 Rings, 1x Playoff MVP, 8x All-League, 1x All-Defense
#4 Points, #17 Rebounds, #5 Steals, Crazy 1.4 TOPG career average.

Isiah Thomas (14 seasons):
x5 All-League, x9 All-Defense
#13 Points, #2 Assists, #2 Steals

Michael Jordan (11 seasons):
1 Ring, 7x All-League, 3x All-Defense
#3 Points, #7 Steals

David Robinson (8 seasons):
0 Rings, 2x MVP, 2x DPOTY, x5 All-League, 3x All-Defense
#38 Points, #42 Rebounds, #5 Blocks

Sure-fire retired

Moses Malone (11 seasons)
1 Ring, 8x MVP, 1x Playoff MVP, x11 All-League
#1 Points, #4 Rebounds, #17 Blocks

Darrell Griffith (14 seasons):
1 Ring, x7 All-League, x1 All-Defense
#2 Points, #6 Steals

Joe Barry Carroll (15 seasons):
1 Ring, 1x Playoff MVP, 5x DPOTY, 6x All-League, 6x All-Defense
#6 Points, #1 Rebounds, #1 Blocks

Potentially:

Kenny Smith (8 seasons):
1x MVP, 5x All-League
#72 points, #14 Assists, #30 Steals

3 shoe-ins right now: Magic, Sampson, Schmidt

DRobinson is headed there, don't know if he's there yet.
Scott doesn't make it for me.
Kellogg no.
Olajuwon don't think so.
Drazen no.
Michael Jordan likely
Mitchell Jordan no

Retired players that should be in: Moses, JBCarroll?, can't remember who else if any

Maybe I'll do a very simple article that we vote on every year for HOF and we just keep it outside of the developers hands.

[The Bean Regime]

Barkley could have a solid case as well.

Charles Barkley (11 seasons)
0 Rings, 1x DPOTY, 7x All-League, 7x All-Defense
#46 points, #7 Rebounds, #6 Blocks

Obviously the points hurt him, but snagging a DPOTY as well as a very high count of team awards could sneak him in.

[Craig]

Yeah it'd be kinda fun to just have a vote within the 'Retirements' thread each season, no?

[Craig]

Also I strongly disagree with Isiah Thomas being a sure-fire HOFer

And put Dr. J in

Would love to know what Moses ended up on, he was the EIGHT TIME MVP... Most in the NBA is 6x by Kareem.

Also I strongly disagree with Isiah Thomas being a sure-fire HOFer

And put Dr. J in

Why? at worst top 2 defensive guard, potentially the 1st player to hit 10 all-defense awards (Can't say for certain since I never pulled the data, but seems likely) while most seasons being a great PG offensively.

For comparison, career averages (PPG, APG, SPG, TOPG)
Magic: 19.4/8.6/2.8/3.8
Brogan: 14.8/7.1/1.9/2.1
K. Smith: 17.0/8.3/2.3/3.0
K. Johnson: 16.4/9.6/2.2/3.5
M. Jordan: 14.6/6.5/2.0/2.5
Thomas: 16.3/7.9/2.7/3.7

And I wish I had Dr. J's stats. One of the notable missing guys.

Wonder what the function for points is, and whether rings > mvps > stats or something
