    Tracy McGrady, a Hall of Fame Player Despite NBA Playoffs Failure

    Even though everyone saw it coming, hearing Tracy McGrady utter the words that announce his official retirement from the NBA makes it sting, like you expect it to when such a great player decided to leave the game, and pave the way for the endless Hall of Fame debates that might carry on for more than five years.

    It’s easy to forget Ben Wallace is still in the league. A backup Center for the Detroit Pistons, the 4 time NBA defensive player of the year can still conjure up something worth mentioning beyond the stat sheet, like his block on John Wall in the Pistons’ 99-94 win over the Washington Wizards.

  • The 2011 Basketball Hall of Fame Inductees

  • Yao Ming Shouldn’t be in the Hall of Fame

    Yao Ming should be in the hall of fame, according to Kevin Durant, and others. Sorry, we can’t agree with that opinion. Talented, special – yes. Hall of Fame? No.
