Irving is one of the top point guards in the NBA league, which should be an indisputable fact. However, Irving's career honors are somewhat thin. Aside from a championship ring, Irving doesn't seem to have any other great accolades. One thing to say is that Irving's dribbling style is really flowing, but Irving has only won 1 crown in his career so far, which is also a weakness of his.
Irving has always wanted to prove himself, but after leaving the Cavaliers, neither in the Celtics nor at the Nets, Irving has not really proved himself. For example, to take his team to a different height, or to lead the team to win the NBA championship, Irving has not yet done it. As the leader of the 2011 NBA Draft, Irving has not scored a scorer or MVP so far, nor has he been selected as one of the 75 NBA stars, which is really a pity.
So far in his career, Irving has won the top honors: 1 NBA Championship, 1 NBA Rookie, 1 All-Star Rookie Challenge MVP, 1 All-Star Three-Point Championship, 1 All-Star Regular Game MVP, plus 7 NBA All-Star Teams and 3 NBA Best Teams (1 Second and 2 Third). If international competitions are to be counted, Irving helped the United States win the World Cup in 2014 and was elected MVP of the event. In 2016, Irving helped the United States team win the Olympic gold medal, which is also the highlight of Irving's career.
If you count the current honors, can Irving be inducted into the Hall of Fame? First of all, the conclusion, in fact, there is a chance of being selected, but to be honest, the probability is not particularly large. After all, there are more gold-containing honors, such as regular season MVP, scoring king, FMVP, Irving has not won. Another example is the best team, Irving has not been selected for one team, and the three best teams are distributed in the second and third teams, which will also affect Irving's historical status.
For NBA players, the NBA Hall of Fame is a great monument. Being inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame means that the player's career is recognized. However, the qualification for the Hall of Fame is far more difficult than expected. First of all, someone who has made outstanding contributions to the cause of basketball must be eligible for the Hall of Fame. In addition, players need to retire for 3 years to reach the entry criteria.
The last condition is more stringent, even if nominated, it is not guaranteed to be absolutely selected, because it still needs to go through strict review, and all the performances of players on and off the pitch in their lifetime will be presented on the audit materials. The 24-member review committee is responsible for discussing the preliminary list, and it is ultimately necessary for no less than 18 people to pass before the nominees can be selected. Judging from the honors of Owen's career so far, it is indeed not easy to win only 1 crown and be inducted into the Hall of Fame!
However, Irving is still at the peak of his career, and he still has plenty of time to fight for more honors before retiring. Now, Irving and Durant have joined forces to win the championship, and if Irving can win another championship or even multiple championships before retiring, then Irving's probability of being inducted into the Hall of Fame will be greatly improved. Of course, the premise is that Irving needs to focus on the court, which is the most important thing!
