The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

The same people mad at Vince, going to be the same people mad when DeMar DeRozan and Derrick Rose are inducted.

Why the **** would DDR be inducted? Less of a resume, not influential in the way a VC or AI was. Demar I think of this demar I dont like it.

I dont think Rose could be in either and im a huge fan but you could make a case for him.

Yeah but can you maintain that standard given the inflation in scoring?

I mean, sure you can account for it, but I still think it’s going to take a good *** player that plays at a high level for a long time to make it into that territory. It’s not like Kelly Oubre is going to be there.

It’ll be guys that made multiple all-star and all-NBA teams.

 

[WASHED KING]

Rose getting in off 1 season is insane.

If you got Vince in you gotta put Demar

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Has any former MVP not been inducted?

Don't think there's any instance of it

SGA and Jalen smart. They are resting now, so they can get their in-season rewards and they'll get them boys in June.

The Hornets keep going thru this dumb coaching cycle…They gon bring in a younger “players coach” again then eventually go back to Clifford or that type of old school veteran coach

Joker cardio kinda crazy for dude his size.

Wemby looked like he was weezing at various points.

Fun match up though. Joker seemed to motivated to cook.

Dudes was calling him out of shape and low stamina, and he did this in 2019. Jokic played 65 minutes in an NBA playoff game, and won. His stamina been an underrated part of his game. Availability too.

I’m thinking, as with his passing, Joker’s water polo background probably helps with his stamina/conditioning.

Treading water non-stop for long periods ain’t easy (at least it certainly isn’t for me)

Truly elite athlete. Other bigs would be gassed and not nearly as effective.

DDR has scored 20+ PPG for 11 straight seasons. And he rarely misses games. Something to be said for it.

HOF obviously isn’t just for #1 options on contenders. Don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility that the best version of himself could’ve been a good #2 on a championship caliber team.

Minimum requirements should be 5x all NBA and 5x all star/nba champ.

Can't wait for Zion to fall just short of this

And you gotta explain to your son why you ain't gonna change your ways and ask his uncle to vote him in.

Gonna be a tough father son convo. Outchea looking like....

 

[aepps20]

DDR gets in based on his All Star Appearances, NBA all team and he has A FIBA World Cup Gold and an Olympic Gold. That easily gets him in

He’s going to make all NBA this year. Already a 2x all star.
See you in 2029, rust

 

[MVP]

Has any former MVP not been inducted?

I don't think so but dude has these accolades.

With only 12K points...

I think DDR gets in 6x AS & 3x All-NBA and is gonna finish with over 25k points(only 100 pts behind Steph)
