[MVP]

we have a new "well if _____ got in" player

VC got in off basically being the best at one particular skill in basketball. Brazy.

Every year y’all do the same thing and act like it’s only the NBA Hall of Fame

Mitch can pass on his mantle but prob not because carter has that name value

Ummm did he do anything of significance in college and the Olympics because dunk over that dude?

Basketball in Canada is viewed completely different from when I was a kid because of two men; Vince Carter and Steve Nash.

Maybe not a reason to be elected to the Hall of Fame, but what he did for the sport in this country shouldn't go unmentioned.

Borrego is Mexican. They were never gonna give him a fair shot. He’s the only fired coach that hasn’t been linked to any other openings since, too

Let’s campaign for Borrego if Ty gets fired this Summer.

My guy Horf definitely getting into the hall now if these two made it

 

[osh kosh bosh]

NBA HOF standards are what they are, Chauncey was the best offensive player on a championship winning team.
If you do that and have a good career, you'll get into the hall of fame. it is what it is.


Vince never won a ring, but was incredibly famous, and built basketball in Canada.
if the HOF is a museum, I think Vince should prob be in there.

imo Horford should be in already off his college career.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Batum gotta get in for what he did for French basketball

 

[picasso swerve]

Vince deserves it just based on his 200 Dunk Contest domination and the Weiss Olympic dunk.

His resume leaves more to be wanted but as silly as it sounds his dunking resume gets him a nod. People still view VC as the greatest dunker ever, his dunk contest performance gets mentioned every year. Plus dude played 22 years? As someone mentooned too, brought attention to Toronto and Canada in general while he was a Raptor.

But yeah why shoudnt the greatest and most influential dunker ever not be in the HoF?

I read on reddit the difference between 1st and 10th in the West is smaller than the difference from 1st and 2nd in the East and damn its true.

Vince is like the dunking version of Reggie Miller

 

[Coupé It]

Irony is out of control here

 

[lovehateself]

he forgot to mention his famous all world pancakes too

It’s the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame not just the NBA Hall of Fame. You get credit for your entire career. Vince has an Olympic Gold and a FIBA Tournament of the Americas Gold. Chauncey has a finals MVP, FIBA World Tournament Gold and other accomplishments outside of the NBA.

Disrespectful to Reggie and i think he was overrated

Vince had all time great talent and we only know him for dunking. That alone should bar him from being in the hall.

 

[antidope]

The NBA has had almost 5,000 people play in it. Vince Carter has scored more points than all but 23 people. That is HoF

Vince deserves it just based on his 200 Dunk Contest domination and the Weiss Olympic dunk.

Half man, half amazing was must see tv coming out of NC. If your team sucked and was unbearable to watch in the early 2000s, Vince’s in game dunks were enough reason to follow the league.

 

[pums]

Vince is a no brainer. He stuck around long enough to be very likeable again.

I dont know how long KD has to stay to be liked
