Around SBN: Has Kentucky Improved Since the Non-Conference Season?

Is Chauncey Billups a future HOFer?

Will Chauncey Billups someday make the Hall of Fame? Dana Gauruder of the Oakland Press thinks so: "How significant is Chauncey Billups' accomplishment of playing in his seventh straight conference finals? Only four other players since 1970 have advanced to seven or more consecutive conference finals, and they all played for the great Lakers teams in the 1980s - Magic Johnson, Michael Cooper, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Kurt Rambis. Really, that puts Chauncey on par with Magic - not in talent, obviously, but in the fact he was the floor leader of those teams. Before this year, I don't know if you could have called Chauncey a Hall of Famer. Now, like the Osgood debate in hockey, it's hard to deny him, based on his postseason resume."

I love Chauncey, but I think he needs either at least one more ring or a year or two of super individual stats. He’s not going to get the latter, I don’t think, but he could get the former.

I agree, TJ. His only realistic chance is another ring.

If he gets another ring and is Finals MVP, I think he’s a shoe-in. if not, then he’s stuck since the Pistons were always more in sum than the individual parts.
