Message: [QUOTE="boog204, post: 5279724, member: 880"] Conceptually, the HOF process, regardless of sport, is kind of weird. How is a guy not a hall of famer one year, but then is many years later? I mean, Michael Cooper? He retired in 1990, and not one person thought he was a Hall of Famer. 24 years later, he is? Great defender. Key piece on a legendary team. But really? I feel like the NFL is the only one that sort of does it right. Or in the case of some, how are some not even remotely hall of famers, and then, because of connections and friends, after falling off the ballot, now in. Love Phil Rizzuto. His voice was part of my childhood watching PIX and everything else. But there is no way in hell that his career warranted the HOF as a player. [/QUOTE]
