I was just correcting your post about dude putting up numbers on shitty teams...It was simply incorrect...


As for sustained greatness, that's Hill's entire career, not just the pros...


The basketball hall of fame is not just about the Pros...U know that, right?

They take in account EVERYTHING....It's the same reason they put in guys that weren't even the best on their teams but had GREAT college careers and all-star years...It's the reason why Sabonis (again) got in the HOF off of his international play...

It just so happens that Hill has enough pro impact (dude was POPULAR, has a gold medal, and put up crazy numbers and, when healthy, led his team to the playoffs...) that it helps him even more...

The complete career? Sure, he gets in....It's not always JUST about the pro-career...
