The National Basketball Hall of Fame has a hard enough time trying to get the general public in. First off it’s in Springfield, Massachusetts which hasn’t been a destination worth stopping at since the god damn industrial revolution. Shit even Rosie the Riveter thought Springfield was a dump. In lieu of building an infrastructure, updating a dilapidated city, the National Basketball Hall of Fame figured ‘Hey why don’t we just let every above average player in and maybe people will come to our city.’ With that said here is a list players that will one day grace the halls of the National Basketball Hall of Fame….my gosh Dr. James Naismith would be sick to his stomach with some of these names.
1) LeBron James– 4 MVP’s. 3 Rings. Will he ever win again?
2) Dirk Nowitzki– The Greatest European born basketball player ever to play the game of basketball.
3) Stephen Curry– 3 Rings. 2 MVP’s, 1 of those the only unanimous decision ever. Arguably greatest shooter of all time.
4) Kevin Durant– 1 MVP. 2 Rings. Sell out?
5) Dwayne Wade- Marquette Alum. Gabrielle Union’s husband.
6) Chris Paul- Zero Titles, Zero MVP’s, never made a conference final. But he will get in. Widely regarded as the best PG of his generation.
7) Russell Westbrook- Still building his resume’ but has the MVP and the stats to make him a LOCK.
8) Carmelo Anthony- Lala’s husband won a title at Syracuse, then was a top 50 player for the majority of his career. Should he be in? No. But will he get in? Yes.
9) Vince Carter- My god he is still playing. Kid is on the Hawks now, wow. Remember the hand through the basket dunk contest? That was 18 years ago. 18 years. Jesus Christmas. This guy was a human highlight reel back then.
10) Tony Parker– 4 Rings. The greatest thing to come out of France since the Fry. Plus he conquered one of America’s greatest Eva Longoria, that alone might get him in.
11) Pau Gasol– 2 Rings. Greatest Spanish born basketball player ever. Softer than both sides of the pillow.
12) James Harden– 6 Seasons over 25 ppg. 1 MVP trophy. The Beard walks into the Hall.
NOT IN YET (according to me, but will get in eventually)
Anthony Davis– Will win a MVP, probably multiple.
Giannis Antetokounmpo– The FREAK will win multiple titles, multiple MVP’s.
Kawhi Leonard– If he didn’t get all weird leaving San Antone he would already be in the Hall.
Klay Thompson– He’s in, but I would like to see 2 more years of sharp shooter, mamba mentality.
