If Kyrie never played again: HALL OF FAME?

[TAZORAC]

This would be Kyrie's 10th year, although he was hurt 60% of the time.

If Kyrie never played another game in the NBA and declares for retirement. When its time for his hall of fame bid, does he get inducted?

[RRR3]

Yeah. Basketball HOF isn’t that hard to get into.

[3ba11]

Yeah, tmac got in for having 1 great regular season.. literally

Irving's had a hall of fame worthy resume, but these last few years have been very damaging to his career.

[Big_Dogg]

Hall of Fame talent, Hall of Shame mentality

[Kobe_Bryant]

I think him being forced out of the nba due to a political agenda would actually raise his status all time

5 years from now this will get looked back on as a huge black eye for democrats and the league for forcing its players against their will to take experimental life altering injections or face banishment


its sort of a human rights violation

[Manny98]

Easily

Arguably the most skilled player we have ever seen and the most entertaining player to watch

And his performance in the 2016 finals alone could get him in

Must not have watched McGrady play.

3ball never watched basketball. He mentioned he hasn't watched the league since 2012 or something like that. But I highly doubt he watched the 2000s, let alone the 90s/80s.

T-Mac between 2001-08 put up 26/6/6/1/1 on 44%.

In the playoffs during that time - 30/7/7/1/1 on 43%.

7x All-Star
7x All-NBA
2x Scoring Champ

All of this in that 8 year span. But yea, he only had "1 good season."

Lol.....the moment dude drops into Orlando he's doing 27/8/5/2/2 46% in one of the toughest defensive eras, with Darrell Armstrong as his 2nd option.

Like I said, the CIA should be monitoring 3ball. This isn't a sane human we're dealing with here.

NO

Maybe this. He will definitely make him more famous, and people will have a hard time separating the player from the person, a little bit like what happens to Dennis Rodman. But the same way Rodman's off-the-court shenanigans affect him negatively, maybe with Kyrie the repercussion will be positive, as he is sort of doing it for the "right reasons".

[j3lademaster]

Easily.

Hell Ya Kyrie is in in the HOF already. And I don't mean in the watered down sense the HOF tends to be about. I'm talking about in the most legitimate sense he's in. A ring,seven time All Star,nastiest handle ever, and being the most skilled offensive player ever is enough to get him in.

When u factor offense and defense, I think Kobe is the most skilled player of all time. Not saying THE BEST cause MJ's is the best and GOAT. Just talking all the tools at a player's disposal. BUT if u take out defense, I think that crown goes to Kyrie. At 6'3, he LITERALLY has the total package scoring skillset. And he's a 50-40-90 marksmen too boot!

A more interesting less controversial question.
Is Kyle Lowry a HoFer?
