Everything 2022-2023 Season

I really believe he could have been a franchise player.

The first round pick (#28) in the 2011 that BC coughed up for JJ could’ve gotten us a franchise player…. Jimmy Butler (#30).

Imagine having prime Butler and Lowry together.

JJ really let himself go. Looks like Pascal at home.... eating chicken wings and drinking beer. lol.

i don't follow baseball too much but my understanding is that it's a pretty high bar? NHL i also don't follow but will take your word for it.

i follow both the NBA and NFL qvery closely. i agree that the NBA HOF bar is comically low. mitch richmond made, FFS.

NFL bar is about appropriate to me. basically you need to be top 2 or 3 at your position for about a decade to get in. with the exception of QB i guess... there are some pretty suspect QB's in there

The fact that they feel you must have entrants every year regardless of how weak the class is tells you everythng you need to know (NHL)

don't underestimate Pacers being cheap. They'll probably say "here you go we got pascal at home"

It's because the basketball hall of fame is for basketball, and not just the NBA. Guys like Richmond made it because they played for team USA and won gold.

It's why it's a joke, and they should really make an "NBA" hall of fame. Richmond likely would not have made that.

Most Halls of Fame entry bars are far too low. The NHL's is brutal for easy entrance.
But it's because they are the Halls of Popularity and want to sell tickets.

If he's a hall of famer then so is Chauncey Billups. Hell, guys like Blake Griffin and Kevin Love are hall of famers. Everyone who is halfway decent is a hall of famer apparently.

Once again proving there is only one credible sports hall of fame.

EDIT: So, my standard from the Warrior teams would be Curry. Durant would also be in for his whole career. That's it.

fair enough, i don't necessarily disagree with where you're coming from. but until they remove about half of the guys already in the HOF, he belongs in there.

[slaw]

he's a no brainer HOFer.

i don't get the lamar odom comparison, other than he was a big forward who could handle the ball with some playmaking ability.

scottie has shown the ability and willingness to just take over games in a way i don't recall odom doing

Green and Barnes have nothing in common as players. 2 completely different beasts.

We don't know Barnes' ceiling. It's something Lamar Odom except if Odom had a brain, worked on his game and wasn't an idiot.

A high IQ Lamar Odom with a strong work ethic sounds like a less athletic Lebron James, which is kind of like Luka.

[chris]

The most overrated player in the NBA is Draymond Green and there isn't even a close #2. Dude would be a journeyman if it wasn't for Curry. The NBA media thinks he's a hall of famer. Like holy shit.

he's a no brainer HOFer.

[slaw]

And many even think that Draymond is Scottie's ceiling. LOL
