The Hall of Fame is for great players. How can you not be a franchise player and still be a great player? That's one reason why I don't think Joe Dumars should have gotten into the Hall of Fame.

    Ouch, No respect for Joey D. I really hope I read that wrong. Are you seriously saying Dumars is not a franchise player? He played with the same team for his entire career!Not to mention the fact that he lead his team to 2 NBA titles and is one of the best defenders in league history.
