Hall of Fame

[HeatGM]

after 14 seasons...one hall of famer 

[SixersGM]

you have to throw Emeka in there as well

Ditto to that. Two guys who propelled the Nets' dynasty run.

STATS+WINS=HOF

[KingsGM-old]

Can't belive no one mentioned Tim Duncan yet. That guy was a total beast.

[BlazersGM]

So was Hoffa.

[WizardsGM]

after 14 seasons...one hall of famer 

Well most of the great ones were already into their careers when the league started, so its not hard to believe. With the way FBB assigns Hall of Fame points, longevity is just as important as statistical greatness. I assume you may see more from this point on, as people play out 15yr careers and what-have-you.

[NetsGM]

Yeah.  Once some of these great guys (who were drafted into the league) retire, you'll see more.  The greats when the league started (KG, Dirk, TD, etc) just didn't play long enough for FBB to recognize them.

[KingsGM-old]

Who, how were these first players created?

[CelticsGM]

Btw, can we agree that no player who ever played on the KINGS (or Celtics for that matter) during the prime of his career can be considered HOF worthy ? Since team success should factor in, that'll be the elimination criteria ...

[BlazersGM]

Yeah.  Once some of these great guys (who were drafted into the league) retire, you'll see more.  The greats when the league started (KG, Dirk, TD, etc) just didn't play long enough for FBB to recognize them.

Idkn, but i believe some players deserve HOF. I think FBB is too strict on that, just one example (from DJSL tough), LeBron didnt make it, he never won a ring, but he scored 29.000 points, and won many awards except he didnt win the ring. He is 1st on all time list in scoring, so i really dont understand FBB. 29.000 career points scored is not enough for HOF ?? Thats stupid IMO. Only few players in real life went over 30.000 (MJ, Karl, Wilt, Kareem and ?). I guess if some guy named XY average 15.7ppg 7.2rpg and 4.9apg during his career and made some 17.543 points, 6543 rebounds etc. but he was member of a team that won 2 rings will get in HOF instead of guys who played 15 seasons, scored 28.000 pts, 8000 rbs but won nothing except few POTW, POTM, All-League 1st, etc. awards.

[CelticsGM]

lol, once again, FBB doesn't DECIDE who's HOF-worthy, but rather awards points for certain achievements. During a player's career these points are summed up and upon retirement he needs 25.000 of those points to go to the HOF.

If you're interested, look what you get HOF-points for (and it's absolutely ok to crack a smile here):

1250 ... 3-Point Shootout Champion
1250 ... Slam-Dunk Contest Champion
1000 ... Most Valuable Player
1000 ... Defensive Player of the Year
1000 ... Rookie of the Year
750 ... All-Star Game MVP
500 ... All-Star Game Participant

500 ... All-League First Team
500 ... All-Defensive Team

correct me if i'm wrong, but the original league file SSBA started with should have HOF points for veterans already.
at least, when you start a new league in FBB with the default league file - and the 2003 season - these are the top 20 players when it comes to HOF points:

CareerPoints ... Name, Age - Experience
42670 ... Karl Malone, 40 - 18 yrs
27128 ... Scottie Pippen, 38 - 16 yrs
26563 ... Gary Payton, 35 - 13 yrs
25915 ... Mark Jackson, 38 - 18 yrs
25733 ... Reggie Miller, 38 - 16 yrs
25206 ... Shaquille O'Neal, 31 - 11 yrs
22592 ... Horace Grant, 38 - 16 yrs
21509 ... Dikembe Mutombo, 37 - 13 yrs
21001 ... Vlade Divac, 35 - 14 yrs
19041 ... Shawn Kemp{Retired}, 33 - 14 yrs
17766 ... Clifford Robinson, 36 - 14 yrs
17707 ... Jason Kidd, 30 - 10 yrs
17488 ... Kevin Garnett, 27 - 8 yrs
17102 ... Chris Webber, 30 - 10 yrs
16772 ... Glen Rice{Retired}, 36 - 14 yrs
16443 ... Anthony Mason{Retired}, 36 - 13 yrs
15688 ... Derrick Coleman, 36 - 13 yrs
15071 ... Kenny Anderson, 33 - 14 yrs
15018 ... Alonzo Mourning{Retired}, 33 - 11 yrs
14810 ... Avery Johnson, 38 - 18 yrs

so the top 6 are HOF worthy already ...
 

[NetsGM]

that scoring's ridiculous.  Particularly the highlighted all-star weekend winners.  Dunk champ gets more than league or playoff MVP.  Absurd.

[KingsGM-old]

Btw, can we agree that no player who ever played on the KINGS (or Celtics for that matter) during the prime of his career can be considered HOF worthy ? Since team success should factor in, that'll be the elimination criteria ...

What? Tracy Mcgrady is probably a top 2 SG (top 3 if you consider Marion a SG) of all time. 4 times WCF's, 3 times one game short of the Finals. I haven't won a title with him, but he's definitely a top HOF candidate, at least for NBA standards. Same can be said for Hoffa who was at his prime while he was on my team.

[CelticsGM]

@ Ivan
but aren't the Kings a synonym for failure? that should be taken into account, such (supposedly) great players not being able lift Sacto at least into the SSBA finals ..

@ Bods
It's completely ridiculous. It took me a few seasons to assemble that list, identify all these pointly "gratifications", but unfortunately that's what it is. Probably a heavyreign joke ...

[HawksGM]

Assembling a quick Top 10 list, I would pick:
Yao Ming
Garrett Petit
Emeka Okafor
Shawn Marion
Dirk Nowitzki
Dwight Howard
Richard Milner
Tim Duncan
Ben Gordon
Kevin Garnett

Here's a true champion I throw in there, Antonio Daniels, I think Bods and Jazz both had him for winning stretches, winning followed that guy despite his mediocre ratings.  I don't think he's top 10 material but definitely a winner.  Unlike KG and Dwight on my list.  Most of us probably don't remember Antonio but I know I do.
