Now, listen, I’m not one to know all them fancy basketball terms, but let me tell you about this here NBA Hall of Fame thing. You see, folks get all riled up when they talk about who should or shouldn’t be in that fancy hall. Some of them players, they got in because they was really good, and some, well, I reckon they just slipped in somehow, even though they wasn’t all that special.
Take that fella Mel Daniels, for instance. Oh, he got into the Hall of Fame, sure, but when you look at the points he scored, it ain’t that much. They say he only put up 39 points in his whole career! Now, I ain’t no expert, but even I know that ain’t a lot. Some of them young players these days score more than that in a single game, so how come he’s in the Hall? It’s mighty confusing if you ask me.
And then there’s that other big fella, Arvydas Sabonis. They say he only averaged about 12 points and 7 rebounds in his career, and his time in the NBA was cut short by injuries. Now, I ain’t sayin’ he wasn’t a decent player, but do them numbers really scream “Hall of Fame”? Maybe if he played longer, things woulda been different, but as it stands, folks seem to think he got in a bit too easy.
Now, some folks might bring up other names like Bill Bradley. They say he was a smart fella, a real good college player, and all that. But when it comes to his NBA career, well, it ain’t all that impressive either. Some people reckon he got in because of his smarts more than his skills on the court. I ain’t sayin’ smarts ain’t important, but shouldn’t the Hall of Fame be for them who really showed out on the court?
Let’s not forget Calvin Murphy either. Now, this fella was real short for a basketball player, but he could shoot, no doubt about that. But I reckon if you ask folks today if he deserves a spot in the Hall, some might scratch their heads a bit. Sure, he had some good years, but was he really one of the best of the best?
There’s also them folks who get in because of what they did before the NBA, like in college or overseas. It’s a bit tricky, ain’t it? You got people like Marques Haynes, who’s known for his fancy dribbling with the Harlem Globetrotters. Now, that’s fun to watch, no doubt, but does that really make him one of the greatest basketball players of all time? Some folks think not.
So, who’s the worst player in the NBA Hall of Fame?
Well, that’s up to folks to argue about. Some people say it’s Mel Daniels, others say it’s Arvydas Sabonis. Maybe it’s Bill Bradley or Calvin Murphy, depending on who you ask. Truth is, the Hall of Fame is full of different kinds of players. Some of them got in for what they did off the court, some for what they did before they even joined the NBA, and others for reasons I can’t quite figure out. But one thing’s for sure – not all them players in there were the best at the game.
At the end of the day, I reckon it’s all about who made the biggest impact, whether it was on or off the court. But if you ask me, some of them names in the Hall of Fame don’t quite belong there, no matter how you spin it.
