i rkn mate! GO BARKLEY! Joe Dumars also very deserving..

Dumars over Dantley? What a complete joke. Thats enough from me. Guys like Dantley and English get no love.

If Barkley can get in....and I'm not saying he shouldn't....but then a man who actually won a championship or 5 and some rebounding titles in Rodman should surely be a shoe-in??

 

[JZA]

please dont say your actually comparing barkley and rodman? thats just silly. a championship is a moot point, its a team effort, not due to an individual. and barkley was only about 6'4 and he was a rebounding monster. plus he could score, assist, steal etc...no comparison. barkley was a deadset legend.

i agree.. how could Rodman ever equal a Barkley.. Sure Rodman was a better rebounder what else?

it's a team effort, not due to an individual

You have refuted your own arguement to a degree...yeah Barkley was a great "individual" player but maybe Rodman was a better "team" player which lead to on-court success. After all basketball is a team sport.
Having said that I'm definately not comparing players....I'm well aware of the talents of both....I'm just highlighting that I believe both deserve their place in the HOF.
