ChosenOne Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Why do i keep hearing talk (game announcers and sports radio) of him being a hall of fame candidate? To me its an easy hell no, but i starting to think this might just be me. Does he deserve it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish7718 Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 I wouldn't say hell no, but I don't think he is a hall of famer, in terms of a candidate, sure he was a top player at his position in his prime, he deserves recognition, but not a hall of famer, not long enough of a career, not enough rings.

Newman Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 I wouldn't put Kevin Durant in the HOF right now, and he has arguably done more than T-Mac for his entire career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check my Stats Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Nope. He was only really elite/all-star status for 6-8 years depending on your definitions of those 2 terms. I think longevity should be a huge consideration unless you do really special things within a short period (ala Steve Nash, 2 MVP's). The fact he is viewed as a career loser (whether that is fair or not is whole other can of worms) definitely doesn't help either. I think he should get some consideration, but his lack of team success combined with his short prime are too much for me to consider him a hall of famer. Maybe if he nabbed an MVP or two, or had some deep playoff runs, he would have a shot, but since he hasn't, I am going to go with no.
