Is Paul George a future first ballot hall of famer? Yes or No. He has more accolades/Accomplishments than some of those NBA players who were recently inducted in the hall of fame. Career 21/6/5 averaged. Best statistical season in 2018-19 after averaging 28 ppg finished 3rd in NBA voting. All NBA First team.

While it’s clear Paul ain’t the player he used to be. And recency bias will no doubt make many say no. I say he is. And his life after his playing days are over, with podcasts, seems promising, and will only bolster the media votes for him to be a 1st ballot guy.

Paul George played like a Superstar in 2019. 28 ppg, 8.2 rpg 4.1 apg, and 2.2 spg. Before the Pandemic P and Podcaster P.

He's a likely hall of famer. The special status that makes one guy worthy of first ballot and another not is something I'm not sure of. If a guy needed an accomplishment like MVP or best player on a championship then he would be a clear "no" but it's never been clearly defined. Brandon Miller once said he was the greatest player of all time... that's nuts to me but there are people that swear by this guy.

He'll make the HoF, not sure if he'll be first ballot or not. Probably. 9 time all-star, 6 time all-nba.

Timing is going to be a factor here, it depends on who is in his class. I would prefer for him to be a second ballot guy...or even later. Chris Webber took 8 years and playoff Pete ain't as good as Webber was.
