Ditto. That was awesome. :lol:
Also noticed that he had a little bit of the AmMo look going for Sabas in his youth.
HE'S USING HYPNOSIS!

Bullcrap. HOF awards are thrown away like candys on haloweeen's these days. So how does Mullin deserve it over Reggie? No wonder Reggie was just sent home b4 naming Mullin to the hof. Mullin barely had 5 great(more like 3) seasons to be considered a hof.

I don't think it's unreasonable for Mullin to be inducted into the Hall of Fame but I too would give the nod to Reggie first.

I think Mullin could have did more damage if he didn't get injured so much later in his career. Good for him get in the hall of fame but this kind of worries me. What did Chris Mullin really do other than being a solid NBA scorer? Will there be a bunch of inductions for 80s-90s players just because of the media boom in the NBA? What about today's players? Will every team's star scorer end up in the hall?

He's top 100 in league history in field goals made, three pointers (made and percentage), free throws (made and percentage, 25th all-time in the latter), points (total and per game) and steals (total and per game) along with PER and some other advanced stats. He's also a five time All-Star, Olympic Gold Medallist, McDonald's All American and Wooden Award winner, so I'd say all up his career was certainly significant enough.

Reggie's work as a commentator must have off-set any accomplishments he's ever achieved on the court.

And the fact that he dresses up like a girl to do court side analysis.

The ability to be in two places at once during a broadcast is surely worth a HOF nod by itself.
