Mutumbo and Big Ben will make it in. Mutumbo 4-time DPOTY 2nd all time in blocks. Big Ben IS THE FIRST PLAYER IN NBA HISTORY TO grab 1,000 rebs. 100 blocks, & 100 steals in 4 straight seasons. Plus 4-time DPOTY and has a ring.

lol in,, how can wallence be in and someone like rodman who in my opinion was twice the player never got in.. not only was rodaman a better rebounder(pulled down about 18 rebounds a night in his prime ), but he was also a better defensive player as he was able to guard 4 positions,, also a forgot to mention the 5 rings and the fact that he was also undersized… WALLANCE=OVERRATED,, his killin it in chicago (HOF STATS)lmao

@ #13 & #16: FYI, Horry got two rings as a STARTER on both of the Rockets’ championship squads.

On the topic of Big Ben, I want to see him do SOMETHING with Bulls before I say he’s in the Hall. I love great defensive players (and maybe Ben deserves extra credit for his size at his position, like Calvin Murphy), but overall his low scoring, bad free throws, and only one ring put him on the bubble. If Ben could become a first-or-second team all-defensive player a couple more times, I’d put him in. His HUGE dropoff with the Bulls is what’s making people like me doubt him.

comparing mutombo to the overrated ben wallace is a joke. big ben is nowhere near the hall of fame. btw to the guy that posted that he was the best player on the pistons team what r u smoking billups is the best by far and big ben isnt the 2nd either. wallace wasnt the best defensive player all those seasons duncan was but as always he was overlooked. hell tyson chandler is better than wallace. someone else posted here that the mvp and DPY are the same LOL.

Gee – This season’s like two weeks old. Too early to say Ben is done. And yes, an ankle injury can effect somebody for two weeks or more. Go ask Emeka Okafor about that. Ben wasn’t bad last year, so I’m just saying all this “He’s done” talk is WAY premature.

russ, even though I kno your not, I’m gonna assume your new here based on your ill informed comments.

1. bloated team: a stacked team, a team where he doesn’t have much pressure on him because of the supporting cast. Just as much as marbury had free reign to get his stats cuz his team sucked, dirk had free reign to shoot because he had guys who can pick up his slack and it hardly ever all fell on him. Even to this day.

2. I’m the first person to say marbury sucks and is overrated. if you actually go to his HOF convo, I think i might actually have been the first person to point out all his teams flop. Point remains, his stats are better than nash’s overall and he got laughed at when they said HOF.

3. I agree on ty thomas. But what i meant when i said random people was a) dirk is a 7’0 kyle korver, a specialist, a tall shooter, thats about it. But I can promise you that everytime dime says HOF there will be a “oh if this guy is in, how come dirk isnt” comment meanwhile dirk hasn’t done much at all. Like you said, jamison has about a 20 ppg average but hes not considered hall of fame..why? cuz hes not a shooter that dirk is? please. 90% of the league could average 20 ppg. Jason terry averaged it for a while. Its not really a big sepeartor and dirk wasn’t a stud until recently, and even now he doesn’t carry the brunt of the team.

4. When i mentioned john stockton. His numbers eclise nash’s easily (me and you kno he was a superstar) but he was never given half the glory nash is when he was better and actually took his team to the finals. yet people hype nash like hes this and that when again..all he can pretty much do is pass to guys who are already good and established but never get them over the hump.

I think for the most part we kinda agree about ben wallace.
