does zo mourning

[smazza]

belong in hall of fame

In Basketball Yes as they let half the friggin league in.  Dont they have like 15 people enter every year. They have foreign players, chicks, announcers, you name it.  If it were using guidelines like Baseball which is the toughest by far then there is no way in hell he gets in.  Jim Rice had one hell of a career for the BoSox and I will say most likely he will not make baseball HOF but would have been a first ballot in NBA.

i say no

he wasn't dominating center during his era and never won a championship

[Markeymark]

No...even if he played a few more years he is not HOF material.

Take a look at the players that they let in the Hall and then say Zo is not as good or better as them. I dont think he has done enough but cuz they let way too many in he will get in.  Drazen Petrovich made it as a player and he only played in NBA for four years and was dead at age 28, David Thompson drug addict who had a way to short career made it, he was out of NBA at age 30. If these two guys can make it then Zo belongs as his career was cut short due to illness not death or drugs.

[Markeymark]

So by that logic, anybody who either a) died or is a druggie should be in the HOF. Let's throw in all the players whose careers were cut short due to illness while we're at it.

zo was 5th best center in his era

he never won and didn't make a difference

no way

[KnightsRule]

hey MarkyMark. I am saying these guys should NOT be in HOF but that basketball hall is a joke and if you are going to let Drazen in and Thompson in then YES mourning deserves to go.
