If they retire today, who are the no kidding sure fire NBA HOF inductees?

[Enfuego]

Sure Fire:

K. Garnett
P. Pierce
D. Nowitzki
J. Kidd
T. Duncan
K. Bryant
S. Nash

On the cusp:

R. Allen
D. Wade

Am I missing anything?

 

[celticGreen+]

I think Allen is sure fire

 

[Betallsports]

I would throw Howard in the mix.

 

[Doug]

Lebron

 

[Incubus]

Lebron

The OP may be a LeBron "hater" since this selection is so obvious to me.

LeBron is on the verge of capturing his 3rd MVP.

If he retired today, he surely would go into the HoF IMO!

 

[kermit16]

Tim Duncan is a cinch !Nash is a cinch also.

Sure Fire:

K. Garnett
P. Pierce
D. Nowitzki
J. Kidd
T. Duncan
K. Bryant
S. Nash

R. Allen
D. Wade

Allen gets in easily

 

[Seymour]

Ray Allen is the best shooter of all time of all around players (not one dimensional role play shooters)

If the Spurs win the title this year it will me tough to put many players above him other than Jordan

 

[patrick7033]

Ray Allen deserves to be in because he was the best shooter ever ever.

Every MVP has gotten into the hall of fame. Lebron has two, so I say he's in even if he retires tomorrow. His PER and regular per-game stats also measure in close to the top anyway.

That being said, there's one interesting MVP winner who might break this trend-- Allen Iverson.

 

[Hotpizza]

Ray Allen should get in easily. No reason why he doesn't.

 

[Sugarbear]

Tracy McGrady.
Pau Gasol easy.
Carmelo Anthony
Joe Johnson will make it over many others.
Dwayne Wade

Dwayne Wade

I hope you are kidding about McGrady. The guy scored but that was it. Never lead a team on any type of real playoff run. Joe Johnson is hall of good but no way hall of fame. Win a few playoff series

 

[Jstack34]

I wouldn't mind Manu Ginobli going in. He never had the crazy good stats but has been instrumental on numerous playoff runs and championships.

Funny, as I was reading this I thought his name would have been mentioned. I watched the Laker/Spurs game tonight and he rocked.

With his international accomplishments (Argentina gold medal, etc) and 3 rings he's got to be HOF

 

[Enfuego]

You guys think if Lebron retired right this moment he's in the Hall of Fame?

I don't see that one.

 

[Enfuego]

I would throw Howard in the mix.

This has to be a joke.

Maybe Hall of Pretty Good for a few years.

 

[CHOPTALK]

Lebron easily.
Maybe Chris Paul on the cusp.

Manu is a LOCK. You guys are aware that the HOF, includes all basketball, not just NBA performance. Manu on his international skills alone makes it.

 

[kidman232]

couple guys not overly mentioned, but worth discussing: pau gasol, tony parker, grant hill, chauncey billups

 

[bigtendominator]

You guys think if Lebron retired right this moment he's in the Hall of Fame?

I don't see that one.

Then you don't know anything about basketall. He is already #48 on the all-time scoring llist.

He is 3rd in all-time PPG.
