Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 3548336, member: 2117"] Jason Kidd was just inducted 2 years ago despite domestic abuse charges, numerous other allegations later in his career and a bad drunk driving accident at the end of it. Rodman has had a slew of run ins with the law. Swoopes had abuse allegations the same year she was selected. Every situation is unique but if outside circumstances are brought into decision making, I'd hope voters look at the entire picture rather than isolate one mistake over a 20+ year basketball career. Theyve overlooked this for many inductees. I agree about the lack of concern regarding Lacy. Sadly more focus typically goes to the higher profile individual regardless of who is at fault vs who is the victim. I dont think Lacy publicly commented on the situation. My guess is she didnt want any spot light for it. I agree though, she should've received more sympathy than she did. And Holdsclaw received a mixed response. She had a lot of sympathizers but also was raked through the coals by many. [/QUOTE]
