i just had a problem with your idiotic comment saying russell didn't have HOF stat.

...I never said Russell didn't belong in the HOF! He had good enough stats to get in AND his championships/pedigree would make him a cinch! But Russell average 15 points a game NOT 2 points, which is what you said would be enough to be a 1st ballot HOFamer! I don''t think ANYBODY....other than a coach, could make the HOF with just a 2 point average! But you got more time than I do....check it out!
 
no starter can avg 2pts. that's impossible. even dennis rodman avg 7.3 pts and rodman never looked to shoot.

but let's say if some dude avg 2pts, but grabs 22reb a night, then he will be considered a top 3 greatest rebounder of all time. ALL TIME. 22reb career average? are you kidding me?

career rebounding avg
kareem - 11.2
moses - 12.2
karl malone - 10.1
hakeem - 11.1
duncan - 11.2
shaq - 10.9
barkley - 11.7
mutombo - 10.3
david robinson - 10.6


so basically 22reb career avg guy rebounds TWICE more than these great rebounders of the game. so are you telling me that's not HOF worthy? Think.

Big O
Big O was the first player of his kind really and averaging a triple double for an entire season is the most revolutionary thing in basketball and will likely never be equaled.

....Oscar Robinson was an outstanding ballplayer...a real pro and ambassador for the sport! But he only won 1 championship in his career and that was on the coattails of Kareem with the Milwaukee Bucks! Great career and definitely in the HOF....but didn't accumulate enough stats to merit a spot on "Mount Rushmore"! Frankly, his biggest claim to fame statistically would be that year he averaged a triple double! Almost as impossible to top as Stocktons career assist record.....almost!

...both Wilt and Russell averaged 22 rebounds a game. I think they are the only two to average more than 20 for their careers! Maybe Nate Thurmond? I doubt it....but I'll check. But this argument is pointless! NOBODY in the HOF only averaged 2 points in there career! Perhaps Ostertag would be the closest to this anomaly....since he could grab a ton of rebounds but had hands of "stone"....and probably cost Stockton another 500 assists playing with him!

thurmond avg was 15 ish. dennis rodman is a HOFer with 7pts and 13reb. i'll take 2pts and 22reb over that anytime anyday.
 
idiotic and stubborn. last night atlanta Hawks had 29reb. ENTIRE GAME. that's 10 dudes.

avg 22reb means - dude will have many 25+ reb games. and many 35+ reb games. not only this dude will win the DPOY almost every year, but he will most likely be the highest paid defender in the league. and almost every game his team won't lose the rebounding battle. and his team will be a perennial contender.

....look, NOBODY has ever averaged 20 rebounds and only 2 points EVER in the NBA! Until someone does, then no one in the NBA HOF has made it with those statistics! You say it will happen? I say it won't!!
