Below is the rationale behind the formula. Seems as if Lebron is a lock, and of course there is no need to even guess on Kobe. Ray Allen will get in as well, maybe not a first ballot, but he's getting in.

Hall of Fame probabilities are presented for all players with a minimum of400 NBA games played. Although it can be risky to make predictions foractive players, you can think of these probabilities as answering thequestion "If this player retired today, what is the probability he wouldbe elected to the Hall of Fame?". The model was built using a pool of 716players. One method to assess classification accuracy is to compare theestimated Hall of Fame probability for the case to the actual result. Ofthe 716 players, 88 had been elected to the Hall of Fame and 628 had not.If the player's predicted probability of election was greater than orequal to 0.5, I predicted that he was in the Hall of Fame. Of the 88players in the Hall of Fame, 72 were correctly classified (81.8%) and 16were not (18.2%). Of the 628 players not in the Hall of Fame, 619 werecorrectly classified (98.6%) and 9 were not (1.4%). Overall, 691 of the716 players (96.5%) were correctly classified by the model.

Dwight Howard has a much better chance of getting in than Tracy McGrady, but then the model doesn't accout for injuries or knowing when a player is done.

I wonder why Carmelo ranks so low.

Come one, seriously. Mo Williams is the top 50? Really?

Remember guys this is a probability list. After 80% it gets kinda hairy. You can pretty much count on the 90% and above to get in though.

I would say the odds are more of the percentage of votes they'll likely get at this point. There will be people that won't vote for Kobe because of his past as it still rubs people the wrong way. But having said that, I'm sure they're will be voters that won't vote for Shaq for whatever reason as well, so he shouldn't really be ba 1.0000 lock even though both will obviously be first ballot HOF'ers. And I think this vote is kinda skewed because it's not taking college careers in to account because I think Grant Hill, Mike Bibby, Rips college years were impressive enough to establish them as "basketball" HOF'ers.
