NBA Melo and Howard in the HOF

[Kick-Stand]

2004 Argentinian NT should be in the HOF!!!

WTF how is that legendary team not in? Was easily my favorite non NBA team ever to watch. Only other team that even comes close was the 88 Soviet team with pre-injury Sabonis and Marciulionis.

Both better than Parker

I shit you not, I still have a brand new Series X in box, never opened. I bought it when they were hard to find during COVID. I'll probably make money if I sell it now, which is crazy.

Melo scored a lot of points. However, he was horribly inefficient and offered very little on the defensive end. I was a Syracuse fan in the 80s and 90s. It still misses me off that their title came with Melo. I have never liked him. Still, he should have been a Piston.

Howard was a great defensive player. He took the Poorlando Tragic to the Finals. Offensively, he was limited, but still put up a good amount of points.

As for the HOF, it includes all accolades, not just NBA. Even so, neither should be 1st ballot. I would put Melo in on the 3rd ballot at the soonest, Dwight on the 3rd or 4th.

Both HOF guys based on the numbers for sure.. Howard is the better player IMO despite NOT being a great scoring big.. His D was all time as was his rebounding. Melo was just about shooting and scoring and the rest of his game he didn't seem to care much.. I never got the sense Melo was ever truly 1 of the best players in the league.. But damn near 30K career pts.. So he goes in 1st ballot..
