    Yeah he definately deserves it. Congrats Nique. He and Dr. J really helped influence the dunk in The NBA. He was a great shooter too.

    Yeah but he still impacted the game a lot. and he was great scorer. He was probably the only thing the Hawks have in their history. He made the dunk something. And I don't know much about him but judging from his stats and the way people talked about him, he deserves to be in the H.O.F.

    I agree. I was mentioning it is a rip not to have him in the top 50.

    He was one of the only guys in NBA history who used flashy dunks in situations where they were almost necessary. Good to see him getting credit.

    It's about time he made it, people say how many 1st teams did he make? He was a SG in the 80s, unless your name was Jordan, you werent making the 1st team, hell probably not any team with how many great SGs there were in the 80s-90s.
