And yeah, it's true he couldn't be option #1 or #2 offensively on a good team. But why does that matter at all or have any bearing on this topic?

So if he's in, Andre has to make it too right?

The multiple all-star appearances, DPOY awards, and Olympic gold medals might help.

He'll likely miss out, but you're right, the Warriors do have 4 HOFers and one other one that you could at least make the argument for. It's amazing that LeBron even took a game off them last year.

Andre has been an all star, he's made the all defense team. He's led his own team. He's been a finals MVP. He has multiple rings. He has an Olympic medal.

Even if their accolades aren't exactly the same, they still have a lot of similarities so if one goes in, the other has to go in. The big difference is that at one point in Iggy's career, he was the first option on a team, Draymond will never be that. Imagine prime Iggy on the Warriors and he's far better than current Draymond. Imagine Draymond on the sixers teams Iggy had and he's a forgotten player in the NBA history books.

Well one thing we do know is that Miami had 4 sure fire HOFers on their title teams.

Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving are hall of famers. So that's 3 vs 4. And LeBron being as great as it is, the gaps even closer. So it's a shame he could only take 1 game off them if you want to play that game.

And they lost to what might be the worst team to ever win an NBA title in the Mavs.

Lebron averaged a whopping 17 ppg in that series.

If Boogie didn't get hurt, New Orleans would be scary as hell. And Rondo would average 20 assists every game in the playoffs.

I'll take the extra Hall of Fame player Green + fringe Hall of Fame player Iguodala over Tristan Thompson. LMAO

Lmao @ including college accolades. Especially the big 10 accolades. And you say that Draymond still has a whole career ahead of him...do you think he'll get better? He's already peaked in 2016. You think he'll get better or worse from now on?

So that's the difference in only winning 1 game? And the Cavs maybe could have had a better player in place of Thompson if you know who didn't force them into signing him for a big contract. But you never want to have that discussion...

Evidently Iguodala is still a "fringe hof player" right now

Al Bundy 04-19-2018 10:08 PM

Curry and KD are HOFers, Draymond Green is a borderline HOFer.
