Recently, the Naismith Hall of Fame officially announced the latest (that is, 2021) Basketball Hall of Fame candidates list. In addition to the first nomination of Boston Celtics’s famous star Paul Pierce, Chris, who was previously officially nominated -Webber, Billups, Bosh, Richard Hamilton, Ben Wallace and others are shortlisted again. Doug Collins, Lauren Jackson, Swain Chaish, Howard Garfunkel, Wall Okoman and others are also on the shortlist.
What is impressive is that among the members who have been successfully selected into the 2020 Basketball Hall of Fame, three of them are stars from the NBA with an average length of 20 seasons. They are Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan. And Kevin Garnett. These three players have won 11 NBA championships, 4 regular season MVPs and 48 All-Stars, covering almost all the honors in their era. It is because they are so good that the fans are not surprised at all for their selection.
However, a few are happy and a few are sad. Due to the limited number of members selected for the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame each year, not all nominated members can be successfully selected.
For example, among the players who have been officially nominated by the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame this year, Webber, Billups, Bosh, Richard Hamilton, and Ben Wallace have all been nominated. But because they met the 2020 Hall of Fame members led by Kobe, Garnett and Duncan, they had no choice but to wait another year. Being selected into the Basketball Hall of Fame is the highest honor for a basketball player and practitioner. Anyone who has the opportunity to be nominated is not willing to lose the election, because this is the greatest affirmation of his career.
After Paul Pierce retired, like Perkins, he likes to deal with the media and became one of the NBA commentators, but this job makes him unappreciated because he is always open-mouthed and gives himself Favorite team instilled poisonous milk. However, Pierce in the player era is definitely a respectable player.
19 seasons in his career, Paul Pierce played for a total of 4 teams (he played for the Celtics for 15 seasons, played for the Nets and Wizards for 1 season, the last two seasons he played for the Clippers Over). During this period, he followed the team to the playoffs 14 times, and was selected to the All-Star lineup 10 times. In the end, he, Ray Allen and Garnett met in Boston in the 2007-2008 season and won the Green Army's post-2000s. The only championship and the only one in his personal career. Moreover, he was also elected as the finals MVP that year, reaching the peak of his personal career.
is on par with Pierce. Chauncey Billups played for 17 seasons in the NBA and finally won the only championship trophy and finals of his career on behalf of the Detroit Pistons in the 03-04 season. mvp trophy.
is different from Pierce in that Billups has played for 7 teams in his career. The Raptors, Celtics, Nuggets, Knicks and Clippers have all left him, but only the Pistons have chosen. Retired his No. 1 jersey. For Detroit, Billups is their champion and the legend of their team. It is precisely because of this that the Pistons will return the veteran Falling Leaf in the 13-14 season, even though he only played 19 games that season. , But his greatness is also beyond doubt.
In addition, Bosh, Ben Wallace, Weber, Hamilton and others also have their own glorious history, but with limited places, who can finally be selected in 2021?
