Number of HOF's needed by GOATs for Championships

[IllegalD]

I thought it'd be interesting to count the total number of Hall of Fame teammates GOAT candidates needed during their championship runs.

Kobe: Shaq, Gasol
[2 HOFs for 5 rings]

LeBron: Wade, Bosh, Jesus
[3 HOFs for 2 rings]

Jordan: Pippen, Rodman, Kukoc (not officially inducted, but a shoe-in because of his international career), Parish
[4 HOFs for 6 rings]

Shaq: Kobe, Wade, Mourning, Gary Payton
[4 HOFs for 4 rings]

Duncan: Robinson, Parker, Ginobili
[3 HOFs for 4 rings]

Bird: McHale, Parish, Dennis Johnson, Bill Walton, Tiny Archibald
[5 HOFs for 3 rings]

Magic: Kareem, Worthy, Wilkes, McAdoo
[4 HOFs for 5 rings]

Kareem: Oscar, Magic, Worthy, Wilkes, McAdoo
[5 HOFs for 6rings]

Wilt: Hal Greer, Chet Walker, Billy Cunningham, Jerry West, Gail Goodrich
[5 HOFs for 2 rings]

[livinglegend]

Kobe lost with 3 HOF: Shaq, Malone, Payton
Kobe also lost with HOF: Howard, Nash

Wilt: Hal Greer, Chet Walker, Billy Cunningham, Jerry West, Gail Goodrich

Mychael Thompson? What HOF is he in?

Shaq didn't win a ring with Gary Payton.

Kareem would only have one without MAGIC.

Pointless as not as all HOFs are equal or play at the same age on championship teams. Do people even care about context anymore?

Kobe lost with 3 HOF: Shaq, Malone, Payton
Kobe also lost with HOF: Howard, Nash

By that logic Shaq also lost with 3 HOF: Kobe, Malone, Payton. And it would count more towards him than Kobe since "they were his team", right?

Also how many times did Bird/Magic lose in the 80's with multiple HOFs?

How many times did Wilt lose with multiple HOFs?

Stay on topic. It's the number of HOF teammates in years where they won the championship.

Noted. Corrected.


Yes he did. Payton was on the 2006 championship team and even has a game winner in the finals.

Chamberlain's '67 team beat a Celtic team with SEVEN HOFers, and his '72 team beat a Knicks team with FIVE HOFers.

So, please post the HOF casts that these teams beat, then, too.

Kinda paints a different picture on who had the most help to win those chips, huh...?

So "meaningless" that you felt so compelled to respond twice.

[BigTicket]

Lol at counting Parish for Jordan.

Such an obvious agenda thread.

[Collie]

Parish with the Bulls? Really?

[IllegalD]

Such an obvious agenda thread.

People count Nash as a HOF on the 2013 Lakers...

Even if you eliminate Parish that's still 3 HOFs Jordan needed for his 6 rings, to Kobe's 2.

this is what i posted when I "felt compelled to post twice"
