Players not yet eligible for the HOF

[RCMcKenzie]

I'd like to see the standards loosened like the NBA. Every player from your list and more, except for maybe Cole, ah heck, let him in too, and Michael Brantley, etc.

Another way to go, is to only allow Verlander and Pujols from that list. Famous players only. The best of the best.

There is no NBA Hall of Fame.

Same difference, guy. What sets do you collect? You quote me a lot.

The Basketball HOF factors in other basketball leagues besides the NBA. They haven't lowered their standards - they just include other stuff when deciding.

And A LOT of people don't know the NBA doesn't have a HOF.

Yes. I know this. I am well aware it is not just NBA players. You don’t need to explain this to me. Common sense still tells everyone what he obviously meant and that this is a pedantic correction.

How would the NBA lower their standards for a HOF they don't run or control?

We all know damn well he means the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. He is saying this Hall has lowered its standards in recent years. You know exactly what he is saying. I know exactly what he is saying. We all do.
