LoL Now what.
Chris Bosh thinks he has his Hall of Fame candidacy more or less wrapped up
"Hell, yeah, of course. I've been a Hall of Famer like four years ago," the Miami Heat center told FOX Sports Florida after Friday's 110-88 victory over Detroit. "And I say that very serious, though. I've talked about it before with my friends."

Four years ago? I don't know, his chances may have been a bit spottier then but as an eight time All-Star who was the third best player on a team that made the Finals two years in a row, winning the second time around, I'd say he gets the nod fairly easily (and his career obviously isn't over yet). As benji noted above, B-R calculates his probability of induction at around 82% with anything over 70% proving to be good odds. For what it's worth, James Worthy - also the third best player on championship teams with a probability around 82% - made the Hall.

I think he will make it too but the manner he spoke in. he sounds somewhat arrogant. lol especially for a player that is on one of the most hated teams in the league, it sounds like he didn't express himself in the best possible manner so it don't offend too many people and already so many haters. But instead I get this feeling that he was starving for attention whether good or bad.

A little more humility would've been more PR-friendly, but I guess you have to admire his candour. Also, as you said, perhaps he felt like grabbing some headlines seeing as how he's kind of overlooked at times behind LeBron and Wade.

if he really wanted to be a hall of famer he would have played his hardest every night. actions > words

He is HoF material, but still I think he had to play a little harder at times. He still has a nice chance of being inducted,but he could be in even better condition if he played harded day in and day out.

Lmao @ Chris Bosh hacing a chance to enter the HoF. Not worthy...

What's with all the hate on Chris Bosh?
Just a random question, Do you guys think that Vince has a better chance of getting in the HoF than T-Mac?

Basketball Reference says yes, I'm inclined to agree. That said, T-Mac probably still has a pretty decent shot given he established himself as a significant player for the better part of last decade and is in the top 100 for some all-time leaders lists.

Bosh has made 8 all star games in 9 years in the league. He's definitely on that HOF track and if he gets a couple more rings he will widely be considered a lock.

Vince has already passed Bird and Payton this season in the all time scoring list, he's likely to pass Clyde Drexler next season too.

Taking all into consideration, I think he should be inducted to the HoF, players were inducted for less and you can honestly say that Vince has been one of the most electrifying players to watch in his prime and the one who most people define as the best dunker of all time.

Also, I agree with what was said about Bosh, don't think he should be that high on the consideration list.

Based on his career stats and accomplishments, not to mention some of the players that have already been inducted or are considered worthy of the Hall when they hang it up, I'd say that Bosh qualifies and is a safe bet.

People always put A LOT OF EMPHASIS on electrifying moves and thunderous dunks. Seems they get stuck in their mind forever. Sure they bring intangibles such as cheers and fans.

But in basketball terms, I just don't believe Vince will deserve the MVP anymore than Bosh when everything is said and done.

One doesn't have to be an MVP to be in the Basketball Hall of Fame, simply significant enough in the sport.

There are a lot of players in the hall of fame that didn't win the MVP.

Based on current bball HOF, he won't be first ballot but he will be voted in.

Re T-Mac, I think he's more in the Bernard King mold where he'll get nominated many times but not get voted in.

Looking at B-R & recalling his play in classic games, still surprised Jo Jo White hasn't been inducted yet.

A combination of being overshadowed by so many other great Celtics and other worthy candidates coming along most every year.
