Pippen was enigmatic, underrated, and... Yeah, he existed. Cynthia Cooper was the NBA Live 18 Coins Elgin Baylor of the WNBA. Or something. Gus Johnson ... No, not that Gus Johnson. The other Gus Johnson played for Baltimore. The Bullets. ... Still nothing? ... Yeah, I think they should induct the other
Gus Johnson, too. ... Wait, which Gus Johnson are we talking about?Bob Hurley, Sr.? Well, he's the man, and everyone should watch his documentary. But even with Hurley coming in, there's not a lot of sex appeal this year. Not a lot of material for people to wax poetic over.
Most years people ask, "Is it getting a little dusty in this room?" This year? No, it is not.And unless Michael Jordan hijacks Pippen's induction speech (current Vegas odds: 15/2), this isn't a year that'll go down in history. But before we dismiss it altogether...This is a good time to talk about something missing from the Hall of
Fame. Because in addition to the relatively forgettable bunch of inductees above, the Hall of Fame will honor the 1960 and 1992 Olympic Teams. And that's something they should do more often. Think about this: We're talking about a monument to the game of basketball--and inducting people like
Cynthia Cooper and Dennis Johnson--that doesn't really recognize any of the most memorable teams in Buy NBA Live Mobile Coins the history of the game. The '80s Celtics, the '90s Bulls, the '70s Knicks, and on and on. We could even induct the Cooper's old Houston Comets teams, if David Stern insists.Point is, in sports, there are certain times when the whole exceeds the sum of all the parts.
