Basketball Hall of Fame inductions announced on April 6th

The entire group is a bit of a collective yawn this year, seems like the hof vote was as weak as the draft.

Chauncey is good enough but just barely and that is coming from a diehard Detroit sports fan. He was honestly a journeyman until he arrived in Detroit and had the pieces around him to click. He was certainly a late bloomer.

Vince Carter had a 22 season career but honestly 10 of hall of fame level play. The last six seasons were awful due to his refusal to hang it up. If he had retired at 32 it would be an easy yes, unfortunately he retired at 43. I’ll give him a pass, but it really got ugly there.

I wouldn’t give a second thought to Cooper, Davis or Smith. If Cooper belongs in for his laker play then so does AC Green…and I don’t believe that for a second. They picked the only two possible.

Not sure if it’s for real but I’ve seen articles claiming Magic Johnson and James Worthy as saying Michael Cooper is in

Unless its a late April Fools' day joke, I think Cooper got in, even if it comes as a surprise to everyone else on this thread.

So the way I read it, basically everybody who was on the nominations list, got in.

Oh well. Guess this whole thread was an exercise in irrelevancy.

Sometimes that seems like the standard, lol.
