<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Mark Aguirre has never played against or even met Hortencia Marcari, the legendary Brazilian women's player, so Aguirre is in no position to debate whether Marcari belongs in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. However, Aguirre did compete against Dominique Wilkins and was Joe Dumars' teammate in Detroit and Aguirre believes strongly that the two perennial All-Stars, who were not voted into the Hall this year, definitely belong in Springfield. "It's a travesty," Aguirre said yesterday. "What is the criteria anyway? How can he not be in? When Dominique played he changed the way teams played because he was so tough to guard." Of the five inductees, none ever played a minute in the NBA while Hubie Brown is the only inductee with NBA ties. Wilkins, Dumars and Maurice Cheeks were all elite players in the world's top league and yet NBA players won't be represented at this year's induction ceremony. Knicks president Isiah Thomas feels that Aguirre deserves to be in the Hall. Aguirre, a Knicks assistant coach, had a legendary career at DePaul and won two titles with Detroit. </div> Source
I can't believe it myself. How stunning. It really doesn't make much sense. Aguirre was one of the best PF's of his time. This is really...off (to put it lightly)
