    Based on his career to date, Basketball Reference has his current hall of fame probability calculated at 93.8%, 11th among active players, and 60th all time. Every player with a higher hall of fame probability calculation that is eligible for the hall of fame is in; every one that is not yet eligible is a no doubter.

    At the age of 29.

    He's been the dominant player at his position in his era. If he were to suffer a career-ending injury tomorrow, he'd be in. You don't have to like it, but you look silly to argue it.

    basically, he is penalized by that site for not having won a title thus far, and truthfully i hope he never does

    but even without one he is a stone cold lock

    me thinks he is practicing his trolling so he can be in midseason form for the opener! gotta put that work in in the offseason, and not just shoot 3 pointers and eat ice cream like LE_NAR_

    Except FIBA only allows one naturalised player per team; if they didn't that's what everyone would already be doing.

    lol. not trolling. just saying, he's not. He's really damn good, but I don't consider him a HOF. He hasn't impressed me as much as others, I guess.

    That comment you quoted was meant as "you others" meaning other posters.

    Damn, you got me all excited for a second there. I thought he hit a game winning buzzer beater in a win over France, but even with that one handed heave, his team is still down 9 at the half and that one shot accounted for almost 10% of his team's first half scoring output.

    I don't think Team USA has anything to worry about.

    Dennis Schröder looking very good for Germany. He was the guy I wanted most from the last draft. Which shows I shouldn't be GM because Antetokounmpo will be better, but will Schröder be better than CJ? Last year's draft is looking much better than people said, mostly because of non-US players.

    Now you've stopped watching him he's good. Can we get you to stop watching the Blazers too?
