    All deserving. I hope they all get in.

    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    Hardaway doesn't seem to get as much recognition as other all time point guards

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

    Been a long time in waiting for Super Sid, hope he makes it in.

    Webber? Really?

    Yes. If Ralph Sampson is in, CWebb is more than deserving.

    It took Bernard King 20 years to make it in....Tracy McGrady should not make it in faster than a much better player.

    Seems like they are running out of players to put in the HOF.

    I never went to the arena thinking "Oh boy, Tim Hardaway is playing tonight". The others all had periods where you would have said that. Those early 80's Bucks teams are the best of the 80's not to win a title. Moncrief is long overdue.

    Good group. I'd support all of them.

    Oh, those early-mid 1980's Bucks teams of my youth. Seven straight division titles from '79-80 through '85-86. Marques, Sidney, Winters, Lanier, Coach Nelson and the cozy MECCA. But in the end if it wasn't Philadelphia it was Boston. Great teams that could never get over the hump.

    Important to remember that the HOF includes college, high school, international, whatever. Sampson is in for being an all-time great college player.

    True. I think Chris' case is something of a composite, as well.

    All four are questionable. Each has a player that is very comparable to them that is not in the HoF currently

    Tim Hardaway (Kevin Johnson, Mo Cheeks, Mark Price)
    Chris Webber (Shawn Kemp, Jack Sikma, Maurice Lucas, Buck Williams, Tom Chambers)
    Tracy McGrady/Sidney Moncrief (Mark Aguirre, George McGinnis)

    To me, that suggests more that some of those other guys are HOFers as well.
