Yeah I mean, I think Kemba’s All NBA and Rip’s championship are obviously respectively their top NBA accomplishments. I just think Kemba was a better player at his best. Either way, I agree, neither has a shot.
Who is really in the HOF based on HS accomplishments? It’s a silly argument. These guys weren’t like, generational talents a la LeBron/Zion, so what does being the 12th ranked guy in the class really matter?
Should Larry Johnson, Joakim Noah, and Al Horford get in the Hall of Fame?
The question I meant was, when has someone’s HS accomplishments come into play in being selected for the HOF? I can’t think of anyone.
The HOF is already watered down enough as it is.
It is. But, put his career next to Grant Hill's....He got in easily. Tell me which career you would rather have had if you could choose.
If we're being objective, it's an easy choice. Just not the one you think
No, it is the one I think it is. Take away the point total which was compiling, it is close and I would rather have Rip's career.
No, it's not remotely close. No idea what happened with the pictures I posted but the accomplishments aren't even close. Take away that he went to Duke and you wouldn't even be making this claim
According to Basketball Reference’s HOF probability, Grant Hill had a 89% chance while Rip has a 2% chance. Interesting.
But this part in bold is what you're missing. It's not the NBA HOF, it's the Basketball HOF. The fact that he's one of the greatest college players ever is exactly why the gap exists
For 5 seasons, before the injury, Hill was one of the best players in the league. He had a first team All NBA and 4 second teams. He was third for MVP in 96-97. It was a short peak, but a high one, much higher than Rip, who never even made third team once. Add in his college career and this isn't really close.
Not missing anything. In Rip's college career he made a Sweet 16, an Elite 8, and won the title as MOP. Hill's was better, but not by that much.
