But yeah, I agree with you, the whole idea of a HOF’er is kinda weird in every sport.

Art Monk, all these years, not in the Pro Football HOF? Jesus, what’s a guy gotta do if Art can’t make it?

LB, I don’t give a rat’s ass for talent if they don’t defend.

Sauce, his career averages are 21 and 10. For 14 seasons? That’s just, well, damn. Five All-Star appearances and a selection to the all-NBA First Team in 2001, it’s certainly a profile that merits consideration, but he probably won’t get it and he probably doesn’t deserve it either. He’ll probably join Pershing High alumni Spencer Haywood and Artis Gilmore as the only guys over 135 in databasebasketball.com history who haven’t made it in. Besides, the basketball HOF’s process is really shady if you look into it.

And slightly related, check out the end of this interview with Haywood and see the bizarre nature of his relationship with Webber:

HOF likely > 135, and Webber’s @ 139?

HOF Hardly.

Chris Webber and Golden St. go together like Kate Hudson and P.T. Anderson. He is a horrendous fit for that system.

I hope Chris finds a place where he can be useful and happy. I don’t think he’s getting his ring with the Warriors, and he seems a bit old/slow to play their run-and-gun style. Then again, being a defensive liability on Golden State isn’t as big a deal as being a defensive liability on the Pistons. And at least it’s not Boston.

On this news, three days of rest and Indiana without J.O., I’m hoping to see at least 15 minutes out of Amir tomorrow night…
