So what current NBA players do you guys think will make it to the HOF? I am asking based upon what they have accomplished and what they are likely to accomplish for the rest of their careers.
Here's my list:
Locks- guys that would be in HOF if their careers ended today:
-Kobe Bryant
-Tim Duncan
-Dirk Nowitzki
-Jason Kidd
-Steve Nash
-Kevin Garnett
Likely would be in already or likely to make it by the end of their careers:
-Ray Allen
-Paul Pierce
-Dwyane Wade
-Derrick Rose
-Manu Ginobili
-Pau Gasol (both he and Manu in when taking into account what they've done for their national teams)
-Chris Paul
-Dwight Howard
-Kevin Durant
-Kyrie Irving- its WAY too early for me to make this claim but I think the kid really is that good to where I wouldn't bet against him making it one day
Borderline- will need to raise their games just one more level in years to come:
-Tony Parker- although he may be in the group above IMO
-Deron Williams
-Kevin Love
-Carmelo Anthony
-Andrew Bynum
-Chris Bosh
-Blake Griffin
-Lamarcus Aldridge
Dark Horses- guys that probably won't make it but I thought deserved special mention
-Ben Wallace
-Chauncey Billups
-Tracy McGrady
-Vince Carter
-Derek Fisher
