after a decade of waiting, we will finally construct the hollafame the NBA so sorely needs to celebrate the specialists who will never get to be naismith hall of famers themselves.
below are 83 nba players who never made all-star or all-nba teams but were still major contributors to the game. only players who have not played NBA basketball in the last 5 years are eligible.

i gotta do some research on some of these players
― Hall of Fam (Spottie), Saturday, 16 June 2018 01:58 (five years ago) link
yeah, there's something interesting ones here. some ast/stl leaders from the old school, some playoff performers, some 3 pt specialists, some human trees. i narrowed mine down to about 15-20 and just went with my gut since itll take a few years to get all the big guns out of the way.

my favorite discovery was kevin porter, the 4-time assists champ. his best season was with detroit in 78-79. 15.4 ppg, 13.4 apg, 1.9 spg.

Sabonis shouldn't be on here.
― EZ Snappin, Saturday, 16 June 2018 02:55 (five years ago) link
Rafer Alston was a career .383 shooter....
― Hall of Fam (Spottie), Saturday, 16 June 2018 02:56 (five years ago) link
i agree abt sabonis, he was only not a 10x all-star because he came over at age 60
― Clay, Saturday, 16 June 2018 03:21 (five years ago) link
im looking strictly at nba years my guys
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Saturday, 16 June 2018 11:39 (five years ago) link

just a reminder to you mark-ass busters to get your ballots in bc i got a crazy 4-way tie that needs to get broken right now
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Tuesday, 26 June 2018 05:09 (five years ago) link
i could cast a ballot but warning i could almost certainly include every available player involved in the film Space Jam (I counted two)

kinda interesting comparing the bigs on this list. manute bols numbers are super weird, dude never averaged even 4 pts per game. the season he averaged a career high in points (3.9) he averaged 4.3 blocks (in 22 mpg), more blocks than points is hilarious to me.
Camby was better than i remembered. Shawn Bradley was probably a little underrated. Muresan basically played 4 seasons total lol.

― sprout god (lag∞n), Wednesday, 27 June 2018 14:35 (five years ago) link
lmao just got two ballots and they were almost identical, catapulting two people into the top 5 who previously had no votes
also there is now just a 3-way tie for 5th. i will break tie based on number of 1st place votes (or if none are awarded, 2nd place, etc.)

horry was a massive part of the two biggest scams in nba history (suns bench debacle and the 2002 wcf) so i agree.
