No. He was a great dunker and had a few very good seasons with the Raptors and Nets..after that he became irrelevant quick. Never did become the great player I thought he would be for some reason.
Vince Carter in the hall of fame???

you should feel ashamed for even mentioning his name as on the same level as those two

Dominique Wilkins is a great. It is a travesty that he wasn't named in the top 50 players in NBA history.

No way. Only reason..ONLY reason there is any gray area is because it's the stupid basketball hall of fame and not the NBA Hall of Fame. Contributions to the game, blah blah blah. He is not the elite of elite and that's pretty much final.

If only slam magazine had influence on who made it into the hall, Iverson, Tmac, and Vince would be first ballot
Dog, Iverson IS a first ballot HOFer though.

His dunks were
second to none... but on the topic of a HOF'er... I don't know... I would say nah, but I wouldn't be surprised if he does make it.

No, he's not making the HOF. He's the one of the best dunkers we've seen to ever play the game. During his prime years, he could score with the best of them. Not to mention his clutchness is unmatched. But his career accoclades don't match up with a HOF career.

While I'm glad he put Toronto on the basketball map, I'd say no. And this is coming from someone who pretty much had a man-crush on him during Vinsanity: jerseys, posters, shoes, trading cards, magazines...my friends were worried.
Yeah he was a flashy dunker, to this day still the greatest. But he didn't do enough in his overall career to warrent HOF status.
Can't believe how hard I laughed at that one, definitely in the "so bad it's good AWESOME" category

OP stop it 5 !
Basketball reference should be used for stats only.
So you mean to tell me VC has a 10% better chance than TP and 23% better chance than Nash of getting in the HOF? That formula makes rebounds and assists equal for all players regardless of position, that shouldn't be. Plus, All-Star games? All-Star game selections, the biggest popularity contest in the world? Individual statistics thrown out the window completely, just a team statistic like championships calculated? No college mention at all (it's the basketball HOF not NBA HOF). I know you always like to dump on S&T's knowledge but that is a flawed percentage to use as the base of your argument.

I think he will make the hall of fame. In his prime he was one of the best players at his position for several years, gold medalist, greatest dunker in NBA history, put a horrible franchise on the basketball map, etc. You dont NEED a championship or mvp to make the hall of fame.

I sure hope so, I really do. I just know that stern hates his guts so maybe he could prevent him from getting there so easy. But yeah I can't see a former MVP not gettting inOriginally Posted by Super Producer J

That formula is a bit flawed, dontcha think? No player on that list is more glaring than Steve Nash: only a 58% chance for a two-time MVP, and below guys like CP and T-Mac? Ask 100 people if Nash gets in the Hall and we're gonna get a lot more than 59 votes (I realized that's not how the % works, but you get the idea).
I think we're done here.

Yeah VC doesn't have a 24% better chance of getting in to the HOF than Nash.
