Roles: 3-point assassin, clutch shooter
Notable stats: 5-time NBA champion, 2-time 3-point percentage champ, 1st in NBA history in career 3 point percentage (45.4%)
Why they never reached stardom: because the NBA was stuck in the Stone Ages and didn’t realize a guy who could hit threes like that should probably shoot more shots, IDK that’s just me (career high scoring average of 8.4 PPG)

very solid first 5 inductees

voting stats
24 different players received votes
6-9th were all within 2 points of induction: cedric maxwell, ron harper, robert horry, manute bol

next year!

Lamar Odom's similar players

https://image.ibb.co/hz2igd/odom.jpg

(per-game averages in their third-best seasons)

i loved watching 10-11 odom do his thing

he was my fav laker during that era for sure

wonder what kerrs #s would look like if he played in todays nba. maybe a ceiling of reddick and a floor of anthony morrow?

wait i forgot to put odoms rings in there lol

good inductees....definitely considered bogues, odom, and kerr for my ballot but didn't end up going with them. camby is a great pick that i kind of forgot about. kukoc played for longer than i thought though the window where he was really good isn't all that long.

hope harper gets in next year, cool player who totally reinvented himself and ended up with a bunch of rings.

yeah ron harper was definitely a borderline all-star early on. kinda iggyish in that regard.

yeah he was on really bad teams putting up #s. great parallel.

manu shammgod at :45 in that steve kerr video

this seems like the right place to put this:

Mike Bibby is in bulking season. 😳 pic.twitter.com/jXOW0abd14
