If changing basketball culture or wearing certain shoes means you're hof then the hof is definitely cheapened to me if it already isn't

I mean did you really just mention shoes? Yikes
Yes I did. Shoes has a lot to do with the spread of popularity of basketball. Millions of people out there may not have even seen MJ play, but they damn sure know what Air Jordans are.
 
 
He changed basketball culture though..... From his size playing PG to the shoes(even though they had more of an influence later after his career) to the commercials. The overall package of Penny changed Basketball for the better. When the guy was good.... he was good and there was no stopping him.

 No he didn't. He wasn't the first tall PG and he wasn't the last. You heard of a guy named Magic Johnson?

And shoes? Come on man. If that's the case then put Nike in the hall of fame. Not penny. 

Again...he was my favorite player and alot of guys favorite player in that timeframe. I think Lebron is on record saying that Penny was his favorite player. 

But non of that stuff matters. He played at a very high level for a very short period of time and then his career was abruptly cut short. That's not hall of fame material.
 
The HOF let's anyone in. He's probably not far off just with his playing resume from Memphis through 98ish. (& but I never saw an impact beyond that other than being a fan favorite for people our age).

And unless requirements change..Tmac and AI are locks. As is Vince. Their resumes match up very well with the Richie Guerin's and Bernard King's of the world.

Magic wasn't yamming on people like Penny and couldn't shoot like penny.

Again penny can go into the hall I really don't care. If it happens then the hall is a joke
 
 
Well sorry to crush your heart sport, but PEnny will be in the HOF and I can't wait. Tracy will also be there and so will A.I

 You really just resorted to this?

Aight man...you officially just got tossed in the DipsetGeneral tier in the sports forum. None of your posts will be taken seriously from now on.

As if you decide that. I just state reality. If RALPH SAMPSON AND CHRIS MULLIN are in the HOF, why wouldn't Penny, Vince, A.I, or T mac make it?

Pretty sure those guys are in the hall based off their college resumes.

And why are you grouping AI with those other dudes? You sound foolish. AI has the accolades to justify being a first ballot HOF'er. Vince and T-Mac will get into but not as first ballots.

Penny is stretching it. The guy had 4 or 5 prime years..he only totaled 10k points. He basically had a 6 year career. AI, Vince and TMac had a decades worth.
 
I'm joking but seriously does that mean Divac is a HOF? He introduced the NBA to flopping. :lol
Of course. He had an influence to on bringing international play to the NBA. He was a 7'0 Center than could pass and do things that Centers never did. He opened the way for folks like Toni, Manu, Pau, Dirk, Peja, and all of them to make it to the NBA. Thats good enough.

What about Sabonis?

Edit: Did dude really just question Chris Mullin's HOF status? :rollin
