He could go in as a member of Team USA, and have Frederic Weis carry him to the podium sitting on his shoulders.

I like contrasting the comments in another thread about how KD "likes" the Raptors, 100% of the credit for which is due to Vincent Lamar Carter, with the undying Vince-hate here.
I'm way over how Vince quit. It was dumb - no need to defend it - but he was young. He made a mistake and showed poor judgment. Whoop dee do. Newsflash - multimillionaires in their 20's don't always make the best big-picture decisions. Also, the sun is on fire and water is wet. Anything else we need to know? The Vince years were great for Raptors fans, and we've been nowhere near that "peak" before or since.
Someone remind me why Vince should be in the HOF at all
This.
What did he do? Dunk a basketball? Win a slam Dunk contest?
I get what you guys mean but you don't make the HOF for making a team famous. I've said it before and i'll say it again, if we didn't draft VC then it would've been someone else to put T.O on the map. Its not like without Vince this team wouldn't exist, it existed before his arrival and its still existing after his departure.

Of course. But we aren't talking about sitting around the dinner table with your family laughing about what an idiot you were younger. We're talking about getting into a professional sports hall of fame. This is the greatest honour an athlete can have given to them. In this case, the highest possible standards should be in play.
In a team sport, one of the cardinal sins is quitting on your team (also - I'd figured this out by the time I was about ten years old, never mind 25). All the dunks in the world shouldn't be able to make that disappear. But if that's the case, then just end the charade - have players inducted as individuals, with no association to any team, because clearly that relationship means nothing.

All NBA second team
All NBA third team
NBA Rookie of the Year
NBA Slam Dunk Champ(His performance in that contest was legendary)
Top 10 in 3pt FG's made.
Top 25 in the NBA Scoring list
