Well Charles Barkley and Dominique Wilkins are locks. I was never to big on the idea of college players/coaches being in the Basketball HOF. If they were good enough they'd be doing what they do in the NBA right?
Still don't understand how Dominque wasn't in the Top 50 Basketball players of all time.

Yeah Id go with Barkley and Wilkins as well.But Id have to say Dumars has a fairly good shot as well because his defense was pretty tough.

Joe Dumars has a chance, but I don't think he'll make it or is a Hall of Famer.
What about Bill Laimbeer, you know if he's in the HOF or when he's up? I liked him a lot and think he should be in it. Now his Defense was tough. A great rebounder too, him and Rodman were great together.

Barkley was a beast in the day no denying it. Yeah, miss those days seeing him dominate for the Sixers. It's a shame him and Iverson were/are so dominate but never had the help to bring the team to the next level. Like how Jordan had Pippen you could say, then later Rodman. |
