Its not hard to be a HOF in the nba
ReplyDeleteI agree with you 1000% and the hall of fame committee is looking at changing the current process to reward excellence but with that being said I do have a soft spot in my heart for Mourning. Also since the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame isn't specific to the NBA, they include college and international results/stats as well which helped Mourning.
ReplyDeleteO I agree with Zo, but Mitch richmond? Really?
