Dray’s prime, to his one win. So no I don’t think you can say he’s “unquestionably the most influential defender of his era”, whatever that means. If we are talking about influence, Bruce Bowen is arguably the most influential defender of the aughts (with Wallace being the “best” defender of that era) and Bruce isn’t sniffing the HOF either.

To be fair, you do have a point below here. I just think the standards for the basketball HOF are just weirdly inconsistent for some people.
> I also don't think we have to argue Draymond shouldn't be in the Hall because Ben isn't in the Hall. I think you make a compelling case to put Ben in the Hall.
