HuskyCaucasian Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I dont remember what radio station i heard this on yesterday, but there was a brief discussion as to whether or not the NBA should break from the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and create its own NBA centric HOF. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I think it absolutely should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangercal Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 This would be a no-brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 There should be a basketball hall of fame. Its not the MLB Hall of Fame, its baseballs hall of fame. You have negro league players who never played a MLB game in there lives enshrined in there and honored in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont believe they have college players enshrined there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 There are quite a few people from the NBA who should be in the HOF who aren't there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, except we don't have a WMLB, there is no reason why MJ should share the same stage with Cynthia Cooper. The NBA and WNBA are two different products just like womens softball and MLB would be.

Paint it Black Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 You heard it on B&B, and yes there should. I think Boers said something like "To think Jordan is in the same hall as some woman's coach five people have heard of is absurd." Couldn't agree more.

It shows that there is more to basketball than just the NBA. There is a world outside of it. Personally, I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
