All bubble HOF'ers. Gold watches for long and honorable service.

Bubble HOF'ers?? Do you know anything about basketball pre LeBronJames?Dave Bing - inducted into the Basketball HOF on May 15, 1990Bob Lanier - inducted into the Basketball HOF on May 11, 1992George Yardley - inducted into the Basketball HOF on May 6, 1996

Yeah, bubble. As in better than servicable, and nice stats, and good
guys, and no one is going to break the bank to acquire them. You
know, "Bubble" guys.

Yeah, bubble. As in better than servicable, and nice stats, and goodguys, and no one is going to break the bank to acquire them. Youknow, "Bubble" guys.

Bubble guys do not get inducted into the Basketball HOF. All three of
these guys were top 5 players in their eras and I'd venture to say
that all three would be top 10 today.

Ha!
Bubble girls get included in the basketball hall of fame.
Mediocre Russian players get inducted into the basketball hall of
fame.

The basketball hall of fame is the least exclusive of any major sport,
and possibly many of the minor sports.

If someone has heard of you, and you played more than 22 minutes, you
are eligible, and likely.
I know, it's an exaggeration, but it's hyperbole to prove a point (or
at least spark discussion).
Basketball HOF'ers are a product of longevity more than ability.
