THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[206to813]

FWIW B Sox pointed out that everyone with 7 or more ASG selections is a HOFer (with the exception of a gentleman from the 50s named Larry Foust) or presumptive HOFer (Lamarcus Aldridge is most debatable. He's also 43rd on the all-time scoring list and the same applies but with no exceptions.

I am not saying Joe Johnson is a HOFer, I am just pointing out there is precedent with regard to his accomplishments that make the suggestion not that crazy in reality. I would follow-up those unique precedents with this summation:

yeah I saw that but that argument is hollow. Guys with 7 all star selections are in the HOF because they were ELITE in their era, and happened to be perennial all stars. That’s not to be confused to mean that a guy who was a perennial all star is an elite/HOF guy. It’s not the same thing. Joe’s career was SOLID but he’s on the outside looking in. Ain’t no way.

Joe and Big Al are first ballot “hall of very good”. Lamarcus and Lowry are borderline but ahead of them...

re: Joe Johnson

Also, at what point does Springfield recognize BIg 3 and TBT accomplishments as part of the formula?

Ehh I don’t think they will or should.... if we are keeping it real, these dudes are playing in those leagues because they’re not cut for the league anymore, which makes the accomplishments close enough to irrelevant for HOF purposes

 

[B Sox]

Anyone that knows how my brain works knows the question I have for dude making this claim.

B Sox want to take a stab?

I feel so honored!!

OFFENSIVE Scorer

 

[wavycrocket]

People are going to think the early-mid 00s “get bucket” dudes “deserve” to be in the NBA every damn year.

**** is annoying when you get painted as some blog boy or nerd...for pointing out a 40 year old iso scorer....with clearly declined athletic ability, stamina and no defense.... can’t play in 2020

Melo is the Fabolous of the NBA.

Forever mediocre.

Lamarcus Aldridge is a 1000% FIRST BALLOT HOFer. Much better resume than Joe Johnson too.

7x All-Star
5x All-NBA
3x Top 10 in MVP voting
Currently 49th on all-time scoring list and will probably end up in the top 35 or so by the time he retires.

 

[wavycrocket]

The Eastern Conference is going to make Joe Johnson, Al Horford, Klye Lowry and Demar Derozen HOF’ers

 

[nick.]

Melo is the Fabolous of the NBA.

Forever mediocre.

Melo's jersey game is better

 

[amitt5504]

I never liked that PG dunk, looks sloppy as hell.

It’s better considering the fact that it’s in game and he didn’t travel when doing the gather

Thats all it takes to become a HOFer?

Yeah I get it but still was sloppy looking.

 

[206to813]

"But Mitch RIchmond made it" is the best response you will get.

For the record

Mitch avg’ed like 23 a game his first 10 seasons....
Joe avg more than that once in his career..

Mitch had 3 all nba 2nd teams, and 2 all nba 3rd team
Joe had one all nba 3rd team

Joe’s resume is not good enough

Absolutely a crime this man is no longer in the nba

[Zo gif]

Greatest scorer

 

[QU!K]

Lebron > Melo

 

[storm2006]

It’s not a proper Melo Appreciation without including his best offensive possession highlight

 

[DCAllAfrican]

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Kyrie's game is flashy & exciting so fans will always think more highly of him similar to players like A.I., Jamal Crawford, etc.

Why did you include AI on that list?

That kills me every damn time I see it.

Half the state is going to end up with Corona at this rate.
