OT: Will Chris Paul make the NBA Hall of Fame?

[KingSpeed]

10th Season. He's never been to a conference final. If he never gets to one, can we consider him one of the greats? Same goes for Aldridge in my eyes but this is only his 9th season and many consider he'll be in WCF this year.

Dominique Wilkens will make it and he never made it past the second round leading his team I believe. Maybe he made it to the Eastern Conference Finals? I don't remember:

Yeah, but how can you not make it into the NBA HOF with a nickname like, "The Human Highlight Film!"

How many dunk contests has Chris Paul won?

I have a tendency to agree with you on Paul. He has success but anything he gets he really works for and I think this has to do with his knees. With that said, here is his line for tonight. Granted one line doesn't push him to hall of fame contention. It does show he has some game left and maybe a lil better than you think he is.

If there is any 7x All-star that isn't in the HoF i'd be shocked. Is there any All-NBA first teamer not in the hall of fame, let alone 4xer? how about a player that has made 6 All-NBA teams. I can't imagine how anyone thinks this is actually up for debate.
