    Lmao, why exactly do you think Marion is a Hall of Famer? It's not the Hall of Pretty Good.

    You didn't answer the question. I didn't ask you for someone else's opinion. I asked you why YOU think he's a hall of famer.
    I'm telling you he isn't, because he wasn't good enough. He was a great athlete and at times a very good player, but he was never great.

    I forgot he won a championship, which certainly helps his argument. If Kenny got in, I can certainly see him getting in.
    I just think that if I'm strictly going off the baseline "was this player great, or not?", Marion wouldn't get in. Then again, I'm guessing quite a few players that are already in wouldn't be.

    I noticed his blocks arent all that meaningful because his teammates don't get the loose balls after the blocks.

    Broken plays are highly effective even if it ends up being a basket. If can disrupt play number one and two, you've done a very good job. That is all you can ask for.

    6 games in a row with 3+ blocks, hasn't been done since Yao in 2004-05 and 2002-03. If he goes to 7, you can go all the way back to Olajuwon who did it in 1994-95 twice! So it would be the first time in our franchise history in 15 years that someone had 3+ blocks in 7 games, but let's see if he can do it first. Granted Olajuwon had way more blocks on average, but still, it's a rare occurrence. The franchise high for this would be 13 by Olajuwon in 1992-93.

    Jason Tatum dunked on Covington in the post with under five minutes in the fourth.

    I'm sure covingtin will be featured on YouTube Tatum highlights for years after last night!
