Tell me why I'm buggin.

Because the games sometimes would end with a guy getting crossed up and the player throwing the ball in the crowd and the crowd storming the court..no basket scored.

 

[T’Challa’s Heir]

I’m torn. I initially agreed with you. But, I don’t think they had the longevity to make it in the hall. That run they had from 2003-2006 was something else though. They were filling out actual arenas and had a damn video game. They were probably the driving inspiration for a shyt ton of current NBA stars, the guys around Harden’s age.

AYO this might need to be pinned. Best legit hot take in a minute. Salute OP



Edit

Rest well Escalade and Alimoe the OGs and So2 to Skip To My Lou aka Rafer Alston the Originator

The And1 era was a huge part of basketball history and culture worldwide. You gotta understand, in many countries, NBA or basketball in general wasnt even broadcasted. People there would buy And1 tapes to get their basketball entertainment fix. Even long after the legendary tour run was over

The generation impacted the most by And1 isnt old enough to influence the decision to get them in but they will be soon. Damn, Good take OP.

Nah

Era had too many casuals thinking the game was only about flashy moves, and I say it had a hand in the debacle at the 04 games

You're saying the 04 team failed because they were doing too much And1 shyt?

 

[Hacksaw Jim Thuggin]

If they put leagues or teams in already. I agree

you're a fan of basketball and dont know that TEAMS are in the basketball HOF?

 

[Cladyclad]

you're a fan of basketball and dont know that TEAMS are in the basketball HOF?

I don’t follow the basketball HOF or any HOF for that matter

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

Tell me why I'm buggin.

The joints with Skip on the tour yes instant HOF s

 

[YoungMoneyCashMoneyBoy]

Yes they should be in the Hall. All basketball matters, not just the nba. High School. College. Streetball. It's how some determine the GOAT
