    Retired the same year Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett did (2016) who are also in the HOF this year, so makes sense. He was announced as one of the nominees back in December too.

    i mean he (and Duncan) were easy, obvious, unanimous first ballot picks anyways. you ain't fucking around with dudes with 5 rings and MVPs and multiple Finals MVPs and a million all-NBA / all-defense / all-star accolades.

    Yeah it's not really surprising. Them "breaking tradition" is just announcing it early and foregoing the "will they, won't they???" leadup that was pretty pointless anyway

    Unless you care about character, yeah

    Skipping voting altogether feels stupid.

    It seems pointless to skip the normal process just because he died. He would've been first ballot anyway... what is the point of breaking precedent

    It would make more sense if he was terminally ill and they wanted to induct him before he died

    Yeah this is stupid as fuck, lots of grasping in here.

    Basketball is a young sport, most of the greats are still alive. One of the first greats to die did this weekend at a young age with his daughter and several other people/friends in a tragic way. The first thought on people's minds shouldn't be the negatives.

    Some stuff might be too much or overdone but most of it isn't.

    If some self-righteous idiot didnt vote "no" to Jeter, does the NBA HOF still go this route?

    NBA doesnt seem to have the "purists" that baseball media/history does

    I mean Kobe was guaranteed to get in no matter what so it just seems kind of pointless to speed up a foregone conclusion.

  14. #574

    Like I said in an earlier post, he was already announced as a nominee back in December.

    Also Embiid hit a fadeaway for his 24th point and yelled "Kobe!" Lol

    I'm worried about Shaq. Dude keeps repeating how he hasn't slept since he lost his sister and Kobe is hitting him really hard, then he says the last time they talked was his last game? Holy shit dudes gotta have some immense regret about that.

    It was rough watching TNT last night.

    His sister passed this past year, right? Didn't he say Kobe reached out to him when it happened?

    I think they were honest when they said the beef was dead and that they both regretted how their time together in LA came to a close. Kobe was desperate to get out of Shaq's shadow and prove he could be the man and win without Shaq, but later on I think he realized he could have assumed leadership without pushing Shaq out.

    Kobe definitely did some growing in those years trying and failing to carry Smush Parker and Kwame Brown.
