Robert Horry should not get in, he was just a guy who team hopped to title contending teams.

 

[DMorgan]

I doubt it but Michael Cooper has a better shot than Horry. Horry has no shot at all IMO.

 

[Mister B.]

No. And they shouldn't. At at least not as players. Just being role players on title teams shouldn't be a criteria. HOF is for the elite, and that's what the HOF has lost sight of: ELITE players.

Players who were polarizing, who were leaders, who transcended the game. That's not either of these two, and to be serious, it hasn't been about 80% of the last 10 years worth of HoFamers.

 

[Dwayne]

Cooper has a shot

 

[grYmes]

They both will eventually get in. The basketball hall of fame will accommodate you as long as you can walk and chew gum at the same time. It’s been this way for quite some time.

Coop probably. Horry is like a highlight reel of his career average in points. Like a handful of clutch threes at the highest moments. It's impressive that he was the tipping point for what 3 or 4 of his rings? The fuck shit he did to the Suns the year they should've won but he body checked Nash into the table and got most of the starters off the bench which caused those clutch suspensions is overlooked too. But FUCK no.
