DeFrozen shouldn't even be on this list.

LeBron, Dirk, Durant, Wade, and Curry will all get in.

I personally would not vote for Vince Carter. I'm not sure why he was so beloved to be honest. Yeah he dunked a lot but I was never a fan. I think he gets in but I disagree with the decision.

I think under the current standards all those guys are HOFers. Not that I really agree with the standard but all those players qualify I'd say.

aside from derozan, all of those guys are getting in

and derozan has a shot to get in too if he continues to age well

Voted everyone besides Westbrook and DeRozan and they should all be locks. Wouldn't even be surprised if Westbrook got in.

Why is Westbrook a maybe to you? All time leader in triple doubles (by far), former MVP, 9X All NBA Team including 2 1st Teams, 2X scoring champion, 3x assist leader (how many other players have even become both scoring and assist leaders let alone do it more than once?). And he’s done all of that with a pretty good longevity (15 seasons and counting) and he’ll probably finish with a stat line of 20/7/7. Basketball has the lowest standards to make it to the HOF compared to other sports. Players with less impressive resumés than Westbrook’s have made it. So I’m just wondering how in the world he’s a “maybe” to you when everyone else knows he’s an automatic HOFer.

Everyone other than DeRozen are absolute locks to get in. Anyone saying otherwise obviously doesn't know anything about the NBA's HOF. Not sure why this poll even exists.

Not to mention there have only been 5x where a player averaged a triple double for a season...Westbrook owns 4 of the 5.

The Basketball HOF isn't picky.

DeRozan has more points than Pau Gasol. If he keeps playing well he has a shot.

DeRozan is better than Mitch Richmond across the board statistically which seems to be the entry point for getting in these days....which is pathetic but it is what it is.

Hopefully the standard rises a little bit because we're coming off a generation of talent that is probably the best we've had since the early 90s. Durant, Curry, Harden, Westbrook, Irving, and Leonard, etc. were all drafted within a pretty short period of time and are all locks to get in (like it or not with Kyrie).

There is absolutely no way Russel Westbrook is not making the HOF, and it’s more than deserved.

The difference is that Richmond played in an inside-out era, where big men dominated. Slower, half-court, less possessions, that was a very different game.

There are a lot more guards putting up numbers these days. Tougher for DeRozan to stand out.

One of the teams that played differently from the rest of the league was that "run TMC" Warriors teams, which allowed Richmond to stand out more among guards statistically.

 

[Power Man]

Derozan would have averaged 50 ppg if he played in the 90s, so yes he should be a HOFer
