Does RIP make the Hall of Fame this round?

[Chin Diesel]

Career highlights and awards
2× NBA champion (2012, 2013) 11× NBA All-Star (2006–2016) All-NBA Second Team (2007) NBA All-Rookie First Team (2004) No. 1 retired by Miami Heat ACC Rookie of the Year (2003) Texas Mr. Basketball (2002) That looks like a HOF resume to me.

So he max'd out as a second team all-NBA one time?

An 11 time All Star is pretty much a lock for the HOF. Isn't that the discussion?

Basketball is a team sport and Reggie Miller's supporting cast was much better than KG's in his prime.

Ummm he played with zero HOFers during his peak of 94-04. Zero. I’m not counting a washed up Mullin. Dale Davis made an all star appearance once so is that a big upgrade over KG? Austin Croshere, Jalen Rose, and Mark Jackson are all studs right?Do some research bro.

KG is an absolute lock. For anyone to even suggest otherwise is sheer stupidity.

 

[Husky25]

Miller's career was over in 2005. His peak (or prime, as most people call it) did not extend to 2004.

Also, just the fact that you can name all of those Pacers (plus Schrempf and Smits, who you left off for some reason) is not a point in your argument's favor.

Garnett has the accomplishments and passes the eye test. NFWR.

It’s a bad look to accuse someone of not doing research and then forget to mention Rik Smits, Brad Miller and Jermaine O’Neal. Heck, after Smits retired and Mullin and Jackson left the Pacers limped in as the 8 seed in a really weak East for a couple of seasons before they made some roster changes to improve Miller’s supporting cast.

Bosh? Bosh?? Bosh?!?!? No.

You’re delusional. Chris Bosh is a sure fire HOF.

Brad Miller had a cup of coffee as a Pacer. Jermaine was great but again Reggie was at the end of his career during Jermaines peak.

For the third time, Bosh is a lock and Rip has no chance at the HOF.

Basketball-Reference has Hamiltons Hall of Fame probability at 1.7%

Bosh is at 99.5%

Garnett is at 100%

Bosh is at 99.5%

Garnett is at 100%

So you're saying there's a chance!

3 time all-star

Love RIP, but "3 time all-star" says it all. The Hall should be reserved for the very best...i.e. top 5 players for the decade....However, if I was building a team, I would look for a players with his intangibles

 

[Huskybass]

I think Webber makes it. Rip is a year or two away, I think.

A year or two away, Rich? I think he will always be a year or two away, as in it isn't going to happen.

You've contradicted yourself regarding Reggie's prime. But leaving that aside, what happened when Brad Miller joined? What do you know, the Pacers went from the 8 seed to the 3 in the east. Showing that Reggie, much like Garnett, needed help. Without that help, the Pacers were remarkably average.

A year or two away, Rich? I think he will always be a year or two away, as in it isn't going to happen.

I think that would be a terrible shame. Anyone with both an NCAA and a NBA ring should be in there. I think there's a fairly common feeling that he "rested" a bit on D to have the energy to play in constant motion the way he did on O, and that may hurt his chances.

Great College player, very good pro player. Just not enough as a Pro in my opinion to get into the HOF. Still on my Husky Mount Rushmore along with Bazz, Kemba, and Emeka though, and that's high praise given how great Donyell was.

Are we talking about the same Brad Miller?
