Who Would Make The HOF If They Retired Today?

[Elite]

Simple question. Which players do you guys think would make the HOF if they were to retire today?

 

[elcheato]

Kobe
KG
Duncan
Dirk
LeBron

I'm missing some, I'm sure.

 

[Elite]

Kidd
Nash
Pierce
Allen
Wade?

 

[elcheato]

I was on the fence with Ray Allen but Reggie Miller just made it and Ray is better than him, so he for sure will get in.

Kidd and Nash for sure, Pierce will get in.

Wade needs a couple more years of high level play.

Derrick Rose.

 

[.infamous]

Derrick Rose.

:skip:

 

[CameronCrazy06]

There has never been an MVP of the NBA who wasn't inducted into the hall-of-fame, sooooooo....

 

[Giantmetfan07]

so then Rose would be the first.

 

[Pugz]

rose would not make it right now.

ben wallace could be close.
maybe manu, maybe tony parker.

idk. the names have pretty much been mentioned that id say.

 

[Mexi]

I think Pau would have a shot because of his overseas career

 

[Pugz]

i was borderline on pau but id say he could.

 

[Shady_McCoy25]

I think Dwight could

 

[CameronCrazy06]

You guys are just saying Rose wouldn't make it because he hasn't played for long, but the fact of the matter is NO MVP HAS EVER NOT BEEN ELECTED TO THE HALL OF FAME. Numbers never lie...

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Yea, every MVP has been inducted, because no MVP (at least not that I know of) won the award and after 4 years said "Hey, I'm done!" and then got inducted years later.

we're talking of right now, would a person retire right now and be inducted. For Rose, my answer is no.

 

[bosoxlover12]

Billups maybe?

 

[Pugz]

i think billups and ben wallace are both on the fence. ben has a great resume for not being drafted. billups bounced around and led a team to the finals/championship so idk. its tough.

 

[RipCity32]

Tim Duncan
Kevin Garnett
Steve Nash
Jason Kidd
Kobe Bryant
Dirk Nowitizki
Paul Pierce

Borderline: Ray Allen, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Chauncey Billups, Tracy McGrady

I'm sure I'm missed a couple. Skipped out on the younger guys since their careers are not close to over. But Rose, LeBron, Wade, etc are givens.

 

[BlackMamba]

Vince Carter

 

[cruzg24]

Tim Duncan
Kevin Garnett
Steve Nash
Jason Kidd
Kobe Bryant
Dirk Nowitizki
Paul Pierce

Borderline: Ray Allen, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Chauncey Billups, Tracy McGrady

I'm sure I'm missed a couple. Skipped out on the younger guys since their careers are not close to over. But Rose, LeBron, Wade, etc are givens.

This except for the fact that I dont think Ray Allen is borderline. I also dont think Tracy is borderline either, I think he just flat out doesnt make it. I would put VC as borderline over Tracy.

Billups has to be a lock
