What you say?

[Lebron23]

Yes first ballot hall of fame

[kenneth_griffin]

the only hall of fame with weaker pre requisits is the wwe hof

of course he makes it

[kenneth_griffin]

I think to make the nba hall of fame you only need like 5 allstar games

zero playoff success

some nice dunks

16+ppg career or 7+ assists

or be really popular

Him getting in depends on if a Chauncey Billups can make it. He's been shut our the past few seasons.

bball reff gives him an 86% chance, which is incidentally better than paul george's

Because he has a ring. Ring gets you points. PGs points come from more all stars, all nba and all defensive team.
They're separated by like one point. Kyle 11 and PG 12

In all honestly he's had no worse a career than someone like Grant Hill ( NOT a better peak player , for those who can't comprehend and obviously Grant's prime was cut short) and he's in, so.......

Grant was considered a top 5 player for a few seasons and had a storied collegiate career.

[pandiani17]

Tricky question. I think he will make it, though. But he will have to wait some years.

[Phoenix]

Granted, but PG a couple seasons ago was a top 3 MVP candidate. His other credentials, 7 time all star and 5 time all-NBA, career 20ppg guy, aren't any worse than some guys already in the hall. He'll get in, this isn't the NFL hall of fame. Tmac had a couple of great scoring seasons in the early 2000's, never got out of the first round, and has no 'but he also had a great college career' bullet-point on his resume to back it all up, and he's in. The basketball HOF isn't relatively 'that' hard to get into.

It's not the NBA Hall of Fame. You don't even have to have had a decent NBA career to make it. There are 6 people in it who never played in the NBA.

Oscar Schmidt - This guy was legendary in the International scene.

Oscar Schmidt, full name Oscar Daniel Bezerra Schmidt, is one of the most accomplished Olympic players to never win a medal. Often called the “Brazilian Larry Bird” Schmidt is widely considered the best scorer in international history.

Schmidt played in five straight Olympic games for the Brazilian national team from 1980 to 1996. During those years, Brazil only had a W-L record above .500 twice, in 1980 when they went 4-3 and in 1988 when they went 5-3. However, Schmidt was the runaway leader. Over his Olympic career, Schmidt recorded 210 rebounds, 44 steals, and 1,093 points over just 38 games. He would average 28 points, five rebounds, and one steal a game.

Schmidt’s best Olympic year came in 1988, when he averaged 42 points and seven rebounds. His best game would come in the same year, when Brazil faced Spain in the fifth round in the 1988 summer Olympics. Schmidt recorded 55 points, five rebounds, four assists, and three steals. Schmidt’s prolific scoring gave him the all-time leading scorer role in Olympic history, a distinction that he holds to this day.

Schmidt’s career did not just stop and start with the Olympics either. Schmidt would be an eight-time Brazilian league top scorer over his career with eight different teams. He won three gold and three silvers in South American Championship competition. Standing as a 6-foot-9 small forward, Schmidt seems to fit the mold of that position-less guard-forward combo that players like Giannis Antetokounmpo are made of today

He has a great shot at making it, just saying him and Grant Hill are not comparable.

He can either be a Lou Hudson, Shawn Marion type that gets looked over or a Chris Mullin type who will eventually make it in.

I'm using the point of reference to say outside of his college career, in terms of NBA credentials there's not really a lot separating them. if you want to say it's not comparable because of Grant's college career, ok whatever. I'm just saying PG13's NBA career to this point isn't worse than a number of guys already in. Bear in mind, with current career numbers and his all-NBA/all star appearances, he's only 30( going 31 this summer I think). He's likely to end at worst a 9-10 time all-star and 7-8 time all-league( between all-NBA/all-defense) so we're talking about a guy still building onto a resume that's already pretty much HOF worthy based on historical precedence.

are there any all-nba first teamers not in the hof?

mark price and who else?

Latrell Sprewell.

I think one of Joakim Noah and DeAndre Jordan made it. Maybe both.

[Full Court]

He's got a good shot at it, but a lot depends on what he does the next couple years.

[Shooter]

+1

[SouBeachTalents]

He'd honestly probably make it even if he retired after this season. If he stays healthy and has another productive 4-5 years he's definitely making the HOF

[TAZORAC]

Paul George is more deserving to be in then Yao Ming in my humble opinion.

Paul George will have had a better career than Yao Ming, but being the hall of FAME, I would say Ming was more famous than George will ever be.
