Why is Westbrook a maybe to you? All time leader in triple doubles (by far), former MVP, 9X All NBA Team including 2 1st Teams, 2X scoring champion, 3x assist leader (how many other players have even become both scoring and assist leaders let alone do it more than once?). And he’s done all of that with a pretty good longevity (15 seasons and counting) and he’ll probably finish with a stat line of 20/7/7. Basketball has the lowest standards to make it to the HOF compared to other sports. Players with less impressive resumés than Westbrook’s have made it. So I’m just wondering how in the world he’s a “maybe” to you when everyone else knows he’s an automatic HOFer.Voted everyone besides Westbrook and DeRozan and they should all be locks. Wouldn't even be surprised if Westbrook got in.
Everyone other than DeRozen are absolute locks to get in. Anyone saying otherwise obviously doesn't know anything about the NBA's HOF. Not sure why this poll even exists.LeBron, Dirk, Durant, Wade, and Curry will all get in.
I personally would not vote for Vince Carter. I'm not sure why he was so beloved to be honest. Yeah he dunked a lot but I was never a fan. I think he gets in but I disagree with the decision.

DeRozan has more points than Pau Gasol. If he keeps playing well he has a shot.

The difference is that Richmond played in an inside-out era, where big men dominated. Slower, half-court, less possessions, that was a very different game.DeRozan is better than Mitch Richmond across the board statistically which seems to be the entry point for getting in these days....which is pathetic but it is what it is.
Hopefully the standard rises a little bit because we're coming off a generation of talent that is probably the best we've had since the early 90s. Durant, Curry, Harden, Westbrook, Irving, and Leonard, etc. were all drafted within a pretty short period of time and are all locks to get in (like it or not with Kyrie).
