Many teams are currently in their window (Bucks, Celtics, Suns, Sixers, Nuggets, etc). Who are the teams that are still 2-3 years away, but will be championship juggernauts for years to come?

He’s the Nets all-time leading scorer and should have been DPOY last year. If he puts up a couple more DPOY seasons, he’ll have at least a minor argument for Hall of Fame

He won’t have an argument for HoF lol. He’s a phenomenal role player but someone who’s never made All-NBA should not be in the HoF.

Who from this list of 17 guys in the HoF without all-nba honors would you remove? (cut off being 1988 because that's when they went to three teams, there are more if you life that restriction)

The query only considers 1988 and on... At a quick glance almost all of those players have made all-nba before 1988, and the top guys are Euros where their international achievements come into play unlike Brook.

If he had gotten like 3 more all-stars and maybe an All-NBA selection during the years where the center position was shit he could probably make it as a 2nd or 3rd ballot HOFer. I love Brook, but i just don’t see him making it unless the Bucks win 2 more rings with him as their best defender.

I’m biased but Triple J definitely deserved it even though it was close and BroLo had a monster season. Regardless, you can’t really use “should’ve been DPOY” to his resume, and he needs at least one before we start saying “a couple more DPOY seasons”. He’s pretty old so I don’t personally see it happening, but that doesn’t take away from his talent and impact.

Yeah it doesn’t really matter much now, but they were very close in defensive presence. I think the easy tiebreaker should have been games played. Lopez did it for 78, JJJ only 63.

Please don’t think I hate JJJ lol, I’m a Michigan State alum so I’m a big fan

He's the nets all time leading scorer??? Wtf lol

Well pretty much 7 full seasons (9 total but with injuries), averaging between 18 and 20 a game.

That should be about 10.000 points.
