    Yeah, I think he will be.

    Seems like they let anyone who's ever touched a basketball into the HOF anyways.

    Pierce doesn't scream HOF'er, but you gotta give the guy props for being as good as he is this late in his career. Quite a few guys put up good numbers, but he did it for 15+ years.

    I mean, do you think Kevin Garnett, Reggie Miller and Patrick Ewing are hall of famers?
  • friendfromlowry
    I know the big men struggle with free throws because of big hands, not jump shooters, whatever, etc. So what's Iguodala's excuse? 59% from the line this season.

    Pierce is a hall of famer without question.

    I HATE pierce. But he's a Hof easily. As are the others.

    He is an obvious HOF'er. AKA, he screams HOF'er.

    I agree with this kid.

    Will he get a handicap spot in the HOF for his situation need of a wheelchair?

    I think Azu's in the wrong here. Pierce is def a HOF

    Pierce is only a HOFer, because of his longevity.

    Lol'd. Completely forgot about that argument. Wasn't it Hines Ward = Pete Rose?

    Something like that. Gut isn't a dumb poster, but that easily is the dumbest argument he ever came up with.
  • Ironman92
    Yeah we all agreed on Ward or were all close and then everyone was against gut with that comparison and thoughts on Rose.
  • Ironman92
    This is terrible terrible....I get it, but awful.
  • Mulva
    26 free throws in one half.
  • friendfromlowry
    Does the Hack-a-player strategy usually even work? The Rockets are losing by seven points.

    It seems a little counter-intuitive to me to bring in scrubs just to hack and basically consent to playing 4 on 5 offensively. Any advantage seems minimal.

    I would have Jordan stay out at half and shoot free throws on their end the entire time...and keep a coach out to rebound for him
  • Laley23
    Clippers are 18-2 when teams do this. I definitely do not think it works.
  • Terry_Tate
    There is such a thing as an intentional foul in the NBA right? Why don't the refs ever call that on some of these fouls?

    That's what I was thinking. They just enabled Jordan to set the record for most free throws in a quarter and for what? To be trailing by six at halftime lol.
