Anyone that doesn't have Shaq or Tim Duncan on their list is DUH DUH DAShaqTim DuncanAllen IversonGary PAytonJason Kidd/KobeBy the end of Kobes career no doubt I think he;ll have a better career than Kidd, but right now it's a tossup.
Artest and Bowen will never make the HOF.Bowen has no offense, and he's never even won a DPOY award in his career. He's not even the best at what he does.And for Artest, no way he gets in either. If he could have played without his attitude, he might have had a shot, maybe. With all the suspensions, the fights, etc. NO WAY the nba even puts him on a ballot."So Kobe's not getting in because he's got an average of 24 and 5?" he was just emphasizing how horrible Bowen's numbers were.

I know he came out strong but he has not accomplished anything that great and he hasn't been posting "Hall of Fame" numbers now.I think Zo is another good candidate...
I don't care how good you are on defense [he's even overrated in that aspect], you cannot be a hall of famer and be a lifetime 6ppg.My list1- Duncan2- Shaq3- Kobe4- AI5- Kidd/Payton
I forgot about Zo,those Kidney's ruined his career for a few years but hes been having a great year with the Heat.Hes definitely a great mention and is great defensive player.
I mentioned Zo. Look up a few posts.He is one of the greatest defensive Centers ever.Lifetime stats: 18.3 ppg, 9.1 rpg, 2.9 bpg! on .526 shooting.Very good numbers. He was the key part of that great Heat team.
Jason Kidd- Turned around a franchise that was struggling, got traded for Stephon 'Cancer' Marbury, one of the most lopsided trades in NBA history. Back-to-back finals appearances, also a great passing and rebounding guard for his size. One of the best PGs ever. Tim Duncan- 3 rings, 5 MVP Awards (including the finals appearances), made the All-Defensive team six teams in his career, best fundamentals in the game, and career averages of 22 PPG, 12 RPG, 3 APG, 2 BPG to go along with 50% shooting. Allen Iverson- No rings, made one finals appearance, but has been one of top scorers in the NBA for a long time. Also made a big impact in the NBA, as well as everywhere else in the world.Shaq O'Neal- You get him, you will go FAR in the playoffs. 3 rings, and the most dominant center every to play the game since Chamberlain. Also, a very underrated passer. Kobe Bryant- Has played in a league of his own. 3 rings, leading the NBA in scoring this year, and has carried this Laker franchise today on his back. Not to mention he raped AI in the 2001 NBA Finals.Honorable Mention: Gary Payton
Zo is who i was thinking of im pretty sure... not mcdysses. and it clearly says, i think im thinking of mcdyssyes. so dont get on my case about ti CB4, i was thinking of a playe rand forgot who
Man I want to slap some of you right in the face.Bowen? Lord Have Mercy. No chance. Never. Your Nuts. Wow. Basketball Reference gives Bruce Bowen a ZERO percent chance of the hall.Dyess hasn't played enough games. Too many injuries over his career. Nobody likes Artest. People vote for HOF's. Artest is not hof worthy.Let me post 25 people that will make the HOF, that aren't in it right now.1. Micheal Jordan2. David Robinson3. Hakeem Olajuwon4. John Stockton5. Karl Malone6. Tim Duncan7. Kevin Garnett8. Shaquille O'neal9. Kobe Bryant10. Allen Iverson11. Gary Payton12. Jason Kidd13. Reggie Miller14. Scottie Pippen15. Patrick Ewing16. Dwyane Wade17. Lebron James18. Tracy McGrady19.
