i'll bet he'll still end up in the NBA hall of fame.

Well if he does then I'm applying the next year.

14 years
0 finals appearances
4 time all star
20.7 ppg
9.8 rpg

Do they have a HOF for mediocrity?

i'll bet he'll still end up in the NBA hall of fame. dang was he good there for awhile.

He shouldn't. He was an All Star type player but he didn't do anything in the playoffs. Mike Bibby bailed his ass out a few times. He was a solid player but not a HOF.

That's a trophy with beer in it. Dude to the left is thinking. " I be getting fucked up tonight."

5 time all star,not 4


don't forget about 4 assists/game as well. Only one of 5 guys to average 20/9/4 for a career. Bubble HOF, I would say.

NBA.com says 4 and only started 2

His career was most certainly NOT mediocre...was better than that. However, his career was also most certainly NOT HOF either. Really good player. And really good player <> HOF. No chance.

I would say his HOF chances probably ended when Horry hit that strait on three in the Western Conference Finals.

About like I'm on the bubble of nailing Jessica Alba.

My understanding is UM did not vacate any wins until after the Elite 8 win over OSU, so they can technically claim they made the Final Four that year even though their appearances there were vacated. What I don't understand is how you could get a ruling that doesn't start vacating games until your last two games of the season - that seemed like an arbitrary (and too long delayed) starting point to me since Webber reportedly was taking cash from Martin since 1988 ... I don't see how or why they would stop short of vacating every game he ever played in. The NCAA ruled Ed Martin was a booster of UM, apparently a lot of Rose's arguments against the penalties is based on the premise that Martin was not a booster. I don't know the specifics on how the NCAA defines a booster, but it's dishonest to suggest Martin was a longtime family friend or something like that who was just giving them money like he would give anyone else close to him - Martin clearly would not have befriended those players in the first place if not for their extraordinary basketball talents.

You may not have pounded your chest, but this is an Ohio State website. Did you expect people to join in on the fond reminiscing?

Um... fuck yes we do...

Horry doesn't hit that three and Sacramento probably goes on to win the championship that year. That's what I meant. Give him one ring and that probably would have put him over the top.
