something important about this list that needs to b taken into account is the pacing,some of these players averaged high points per game in eras with suffocating defense but others the opposite
Agreed. 30.0 PPG was easily in the 80s and even early 90s, but between 96 to 2016 it was much more difficult imo due to pace. From 2017 on it's been way easier for players to score
@@WilsonSy what?? The slowest pace,most defensive Era of basketball was roughly from 1990 -2003 30ppg was most valuable and impressive during this time span......scoring started to get significantly easier around 2013.....and non-existent since about 2017
@@mrtae239 they didn't play fast at all in 90's half court offense without jacking up 3s all game.....lots of big man post up action. They play fast today tho.
I saw all of these players play a lot. They all were good players but most of them had flawed games that probably contributed to their lack of team success. Usually it's subpar defensive play. When I think HOF I think you've got to have 7 to 10 pretty dominant years at your position and a couple championships including college. Right? Meanwhile, it was fun to check this out. Thanks, Wilson.
World B Free should be in the hall of fame. He was a legendary scorer. Finished over 20 a game for his career and was Sprewell of his time. He was depicted by Andre 3000 in the movie Semi-Pro with Will Farrell when he played for the Miami Tropics (Flint Tropics in the movie) where he won a USBL championship that season with them. Although the movie Semi-Pro was a comedy it was actually based on a true story. He averaged over 20ppg 9 straight seasons. He was a talented dunker as well and was known for his 360 dunks and having one of the highest vertical leaps of all time nearly 46inches
These players were victims of circumstance. They had the misfortune of their most productive seasons occurring on teams without much surrounding talent or in small markets where their accomplishments could be more easily overlooked.
Thanks for bringing the light to players younger NBA Fans don't know about. These Guys should be in the Hall of Fame. Glen Rice should have been on the list.
C Arydas Sabonis F Josh Smith F Richard Jefferson G Jason Richardson G Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf I played this lineup in 2k. They gelled very well and stomped teams with HOFers.
*Everyone of these guys are in "The Hall Of Very Good" KiKi Vandeweghe was a BUCKET, and Isiah Thomas called Purvis Short the DeMar DeRozan of the early 80s!*
Denver had a breakneck pace of play in the early 80s - and they sucked because they didn't bother playing defense. Pace of play will inflate your numbers - 1980s and 2010s have shown that.
If you cannot make two all nba 1st or 2nd teams or even 3rd teams… your not a HOF… sorry. If you were a no.2 on a title team that makes up for 1 all nba team. If record books doesnt feel lacking without your name in it… you are NOT a HOF.
Back then, most players often got traded if they didn't wanna play for their team or if they left as free agent, compensation and draft picks would be rewarded for the player's previous team. The new CBA at the time gave unrestricted free-agent status to players who had in the league for 7 + years and if their 2nd contract has expired. Before that UFA was more like wishful thinking, but Chambers' decision made UFA possible which many stars players followed years later, changing the league in many ways.
Mark aguirre is the only player who has a legit case all the other players are not hall of farmers not even close
Fair point. But I do think that Chambers has a slight case also

Just because they averaged close to 30 in a game for one season doesn't mean they should be in the hof.
56% fg while averaging 29 is wild
Agreed. It's like what KD's been doing this season

Now after watching all these old highlights you can't tell me that you think that the old era is better Kyle Kuzma is Michael Jordan in that era
Highlights aren't everything. Kuzma would be a borderline all-star in 90s, but nowhere near Top-20
