Subject: [APBR] Re: HoF inductions
I fantasize about the day a Hall inductee will stand on the acceptance
podium and say something like: "I am deeply honored by my selection.
But I respectfully refuse to enter this Hall, except after Artis
Gilmore has entered..."
Every ABA vet who is going in has likely gone in by now -- unless
there is a changing of the guard, of the Hall's gates. Every inductee
should look at Artis' career and measure his own against it. I've read
that most fans of the game assume Gilmore is already inducted. Crazy.
Dominique was passed over, but I think he's inevitable. Then again,
so was Dantley.
Next year we'll see Charles go, with Cummings and Kevin Johnson left
hanging, Hornacek and Smits tossed aside.
No one who retired after '01 is likely: Schrempf, Ron Harper, Thorpe?
Then we get sure-things Olajuwon and Ewing.
'03 retirees include Jordan, Robinson, Stockton.
In 2010, up come Malone and Pippen.
