Yes to C Webb, yes to Paul Pierce, & yes to Ben Wallace. On the fence with Bosh……I just don’t consider him dominant. Those other 3 were dominant.

Don’t be on the fence it’s a easy NO. Dude missed playoffs in the east he just lots of all stars cuz it was the EAST and east had no power Fs . Webb Paul and Ben and Ben is arguably lil better than Paul

To those talking about Ben Wallace, no
He had a very short peak

4x defensive player of the year in a league that didn’t play zone. That’s man to man defense. 4x all star and an nba champion. They’ve let people in for less.

@Kyle Brown He played for 18 seasons
He was elite for 4 or 5 of them, that’s it
He was downright trash in his first 2 seasons, and also the 3 seasons of his second stint with the Pistons
He was also bad/mediocre after leaving that Pistons squad
So yes, out of his 18 year career, he really was only good in those 4 or 5 years, that’s it – beyond that he was very mediocre

Yet has more All NBA selections than Pierce and Bosh With 4 DPOYs with 6 All defensive teams. Add a Chip and he’s definitely worthy.

@The Shadow It doesn’t work that way
Dwight Howard has 8 All NBA team selections, and he is far from a lock from getting into the HoF
When getting considered for induction into the HoF, you look at a players career
And fact of the matter is, other than the 4 or 5 seasons when he was elite, Ben Wallace has been a pretty mediocre player for the duration of his 18 year career

Chris Webber not being in the hall of fame is a crime period. Chris Bosh will definitely get in the hall of fame at some point and Ben Wallace should be in the hall of fame. This 2020 hall of fame class is clearly the best class

This class is proof that Kobe had the best competition over Jordan and got 5 rings would’ve had at least 8 if it won’t for Duncan Kobe and Lebrun both better than Jordan in my eyes

You clearly need to watch prime Jordan to 98 Jordan.
Anthony Adkins
April 11, 2020 at 10:58 pm
Humbled By Yah I did but his competition was nothing like Kobe with the spurs magic even had bird and other good teams lebron spurs golden state plus no team near as good as Jordan and still got 3 and been to 9 plus the Celtics and pistons he had to get thru Jordan had easiest error and as far as rules you couldn’t use zone so everybody was man to man lebron would’ve killed with them rules just like Kobe did until the zone came the Jordan thing is a myth I grew up watching him and the second best guy in his position was Drexler or Reggie Miller Kobe had t Mac Vince Carter ai Miller Ray Allen ganobili lebron Wade not even close

Paul Pierce should be by himself. They should dedicate 2021 just for Paul Pierce and that’s it. No one should be in his class.
