john stockton (1st ballot HOFer), steve nash (2 time MVP, borderline HOF candidate), Dirk Nowitzki (best 7 foot shooter of all time lol)
thats 3 players....not very good if you're trying to market toward young white kids
same situation MLB is in with young african americans who lean toward NBA and NFL instead

3 players? where have u been? just off the top of my head, players who are playing now currently i can think of birdman from nuggets, okur and kirilenko from jazz, turkoglu who was the reason magic made finals last year, HALF the laker team is white and they're the champs, gasol in memphis and chirs kaman are ballin, ginobili from spurs doesnt need any introduction, yao ming and scola from rocket.....list goes on

so you are trying to tell me these players are HALL OF FAMERS?
wow...
--- End quote ---
no one said anything about hall of famers, i was just saying in general population of nba players, u people dont see to read or comprehend properly ::)

kind of ironic that youre questioning his ability to read and comprehend seeing as how you are responding to his post that was ABOUT "legit HOF" since Bird by saying "no one said anything about hall of famers"

all the other guys, okur, AK-47, kaman, etc etc are just medicore one-two time all stars. their more than solid, but i would never EVER build a team around them.
it really doesnt matter how many white or black people in it, just how many good white and black people are in it.
o yea even though yao isnt white, hes a hofer for sure.

pau gasol is not a hall of famer, get the fuck outtah ere
tim duncan, kevin garnett, charles barkley, karl malone
these are HOF power forwards
--- End quote ---
lol gasols career isnt even towards the end yet.
--- End quote ---
and he is also not going to get any better either
not a HOFer by any definition
solid player tho
--- End quote ---
mayb, but solid player? hell no hes an all star
to me a solid player is a guy that can get atleast 10 a night and atleast 5 in their respective catagory ( 5 assist for guards, 5 rebounds for c's and fowards)
derek fisher (before he felll off), travis outlaw, micheal beasley, jamal crawford, jason terry, etc etc u get what im saying.
gasol is far from "just solid" he wasnt THE franchise player but he was the grizzlies franchise player but not at the superstar level.
but

true...but at THIS same point in Gasols career, for the others....everyone already knew Timmy would be a HOF, and probably Garnett too. Barkley, and Malone for sure.
