In case you didn't know, the NBA does not have a Hall of Fame. I want us to pretend that they do, and play the blind resume game. I want the standards to be a little more difficult than the current international hall-of-fame. About the same standards as the NFL hall of fame.

Every 12-18 hours I will post a new name unless someone guesses it before then.

Also, just from the numbers, please state whether or not they are Hall of Fame worthy.

#1.

Career Averages: 20.7 points 9.8 boards 4.2 assists. 1.4 steals. 1.4 blocks.
Rookie of the Year. 5 time All star. Former NBA season rebound leader.

[WideRight05]

Yes.

[Stardust]

Chris Webber

[RunItUpTheGut]

I wonder why the NBA hasnt made a hall of fame?

[LWC]

Dusty got it. It is Chris Webber.

I agree. Should be a Hall of Famer.

[LWC]

#2.

Career Averages: 21 points. 3.9 boards, 3.5 assists, 1.2 steals.
Career 39% 3-shooter. 85% Free-throw shooter.

[RunItUpTheGut]

These are so much tougher that the NFL ones.

[LWC]

bump.

[WideRight05]

Mitch Richmond, and yes.

[WideRight05]

Keep this up LWC. This is a pretty cool thread.

I'd say it is because there is the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.

[zaga_fan]

Let's try one that didn't play for the Kings lol

[zaga_fan]

I don't mean to hijack LWC's thread...

LWC, I did not cheat and google - BUT - I know how you feel about CW and I knew those numbers had to be close. :Thumbs:

You have to tell All-Star game appearances, if any.

[LWC]

With those numbers, I am thinking of someone that is definitely a shooting guard because of the assists and rebounding numbers being so low.

With currently zero all-star appearances or awards, I would say certainly not a hall of famer PURELY based on numbers.

I am going to also guess that you are intentionally using a Lakers player since I listed two people that predominantly played for the Kings, so I will guess James Worthy.

[LWC]

Glen Rice.
At first I thought it was James Worthy, but I bet he had more All Star games than 3.

[zaga_fan]

It's Glen Rice - and he wasn't a Laker for long. I just picked him for the heck of it.

The All-Star selection makes this too easy to google lol

[LWC]

^I always remember him as a dreaded Laker though, lol.

[Ballers]

I think Shaq should be a Hall of Famer..
Of course he wasn't the best free throw shooter in the world..
But back in the day he couldn't be stopped.

Probably Allen Iverson...and I would say yes, he deserves a spot.

[LWC]

^I agree. If it is Iverson, he single-handedly took the Sixers to the Finals that year.

[RunItUpTheGut]

If Iverson could have learned with age that he had to be more productive in the assist column as he aged, he would still be in the NBA.

There are so many people from that generation that simply didn't stand the test of time. They only got by with their physical skills and failed to develop their basketball skills to a level that they could continue on with.

The only player left from that generation that contributes consistently is Kobe Bryant.

lol, i hate cheaters.
Theres a couple tha tmake it obvious :biggrin:

This is a tough one.
Only one NBA championship means he wasnt on very good teams, but a defensive player of the year award makes it easier. Plus being a 9 time all star means hes popular.

Ill go with Garnett. I only remember him winning one title with the Celtics in 08, and i know he had a defensive POY award, but i have no clue about actual stats, and no i didnt look them up, takes the fun out of it.

Gary Payton.
