Hall of Fame

[KingsGM-old]

Ben Gordon doesn't belong on that list. I don't know how can you have him in front of Ben Wallace, Mcgrady, Kirilenko, Elton Brand or Hoffa.

[HawksGM]

the more I think about it, a top 5 isn't hard and top 15 probably wouldn't be but after those initial guys, it's tough to hold out a few guys, Hoffa, Baron Davis (such a vital part to the early Raptors teams), Lincoln Lord, Shaun Livingston (he probably deserves to be in the top 10), Corey Maggette was a big part of the Clippers success, Andre Kirilenko back in the Jazz days.  Bailey Tobey will end up being on this list, Sam Dalembert could have been the best shot blocking big man, Rex Mehta has been good (all with one team too), Barton O'Connell.  The list can go on and on, it's hard to separate some of these guys.

[HawksGM]

I think Ben Gordon was a very big part of the Clippers success, I forgot about Brand, but the Gordon was the stud alongside Brand for the Clippers.  It was the western version of Emeka and Petit, Gordon at least belongs top 15.  Ben Wallace isn't worthy, he never played offense, McGrady is top 15 imo also.

Chris Mihm!!

Chris Mihm!!

Haha...do you remember our neverending bickering about Mihm for Brad Miller swap?

It was like;

-Hi. You're intersted in Miller for Mihm swap?
-I'm interested in Mcgrady
-Um..ok, but he's not available. How about Miller for Mihm
-I can add Vince Carter.
- Add to what?
- Mihm + Vince for Mcgrady + Miller
- Nah, Mcgrady is untouchable.
- Ok, how about Mcgrady for Vince straight up?

And so on...

In the last 7 seasons Mehta's been All SSBA 1st Team 6 times and 2nd Team 1 time.  He's been defensive player of the year 3 times and All Star Game MVP twice. 

The fact that he hasn't won anything can be attributed more to me than him

[CelticsGM]

I agree

Trade him before it's too late, Rex is long overdue for a ring ...

[PacersGM]

and everyone know here that this can´t be done in beantown
well a dwight and rex combo would be insane 

[CelticsGM]

sorry, i don't have Dwight, so you mean Tyler/Rex of course.

[BucksGM]

I'll see if this team can do anything before I rebuild and send Rex on his way.

Also, I don't think there can be any argument that Rex is the best shot blocker in league history, considering he owns the season average record and has led the league or tied for the lead the last 7 seasons.

meh.  I'm not sure about "can't be any argument".  That Emeka guy wasn't bad.

First for the season average record, Emeka had 4.7 per game one year, but only played in 31 games because it was the year I robbed him of half the year during the breakup.  He also tied Mehta's 4.4 per game the very next year.

As for the 7 seasons, I'm pretty sure he had a similar run between 2010 and 2017. 

Despite playing until he was 37, he maintained a 3.5 blocks per game average (which is only .2 off Mehta's 3.7 per game average, who's 33 and showing signs of decline).

Emeka Okafor

This actually kinda shows how bad the Hall of Fame is in FBB.  Emeka Okafor, despite career averages of 18.8 ppg, 13.4 rpg, 3.5 blocks per game, 2.9 assists per game, and 1.1 steals per game.  Despite 4 Championships, 8 all-star game appearances, 3 playoff MVP's, an all-star game MVP, 7 all-defensive teams, 3 all-defensive second teams, and 11 all-league teams.

That's ridiculous.  He never won a regular season MVP (never had the offensive stats), and he got screwed.

[HornetsGM]

Is there any way to edit in HOFers? We could have a league-wide vote on inductions, etc.

[NetsGM]

Well, not within FBB.  I.e. there's no button to click to induct into the Hall that would put them on this page:
http://rosters.ssbabasketball.com/hof/all.htm

I could make a new page myself, though.  Would everyone be up for that?  It would have to be a near unanimous agreement though.  maybe something like 20 vote minimum?

[HornetsGM]

Yeah, I think it would be cool! (or at least as cool as simulated internet basketball can get)

[NetsGM]

this is actually easier than I thought.  I made a mockup of the page, with both Yao and Emeka:
http://forums.ssbabasketball.com/ssba_pages/hof.php

It could also be cool because we could add more information to the front page (i.e. we could add championships to that table, etc).
