No he didn’t. Billups made 5 all star teams, 3 all nba teams with one being a second team nomination, and a finals MVP. Big Ben made 4 all star teams, 5 all nba teams with 3 second team, led the league in blocks once, led the league in rebounding twice, made 6 straight all defensive teams with the first 5 being first team, and won 4 defensive player of the year awards. Both of them are more decorated than sheed was.



ehh big ben wouldn't have all those accolades if the center position during his era wasn't the weakest position ever.

sheed made the pistons a contender and led the jailblazers. Chauncey & ben never led anything.

but that's if the committee looks past the gaudy accolades.

Chauncey and Ben literally led them to a championship.

02 Angels.....but Troy Percival had 358 saves, he should get in :manny:


...and Frankie Rodriguez, who might get in.

It's hard to tell with baseball, because chit happens for players who could be on the way.

Like, that Angels team had Garret Anderson, who most people thought was gonna be the next Tony Gwynn and Troy Glaus - but neither or them stayed strong. And that first Marlins champ squad had Moises, Sheffield, Bonilla, Kevin Brown, and Edgar Renteria...

Ben Wallace ain't getting in the Hall Of Fame, fams.
Might as well let that go.

'Sheed had a better college career than Ben had a pro career, and he prolly ain't getting in either.

they weren't even in the title picture until they traded for Rasheed.

next thing you know, theyre champions a few months later.

not saying sheed led them. it was a communal effort, along with rip & prince. but the fact remains.

Sheed ain't making no Hall of Fame. Some of ya'all. :mjlol:

Chauncey prolly ain't making it either.

If anyone makes it from that team it will be Ben off the strength of all those DPOY selections.

I know there has to be a bum ass NBA team from the 50s or 70s that won one without a hof
No one in the 1950s is gonna have a ring with no HOFers cause they put you in the Hall back then if you could dribble in a straight line and make 1 in 3 shots playing HORSE. Those teams had like 4 HOFers each.

Of the top of my head I thought for sure the 1979 Sonics would be your guys, but looked them up and was surprised to see DJ is in the Hall.
