Being inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame is undoubtedly a crowning honor, and it means an affirmation of a player's individual strength and league status. However, the Hall of Fame is not something that can be entered casually, and there are high requirements for career achievements, personal data, influence, etc. Recently, the American media "FW" announced the probability of 20 players being inducted into the Hall of Fame in the future, so let's take a look.
Probability under 60%: Butler 42.5%, Aldridge 50.1%, Thompson 51.3%, Leonard 54.4%, Griffin 54.8%
Among these five players, Leonard's selection probability is only 54.4%, which has caused a lot of heated discussions among netizens, you must know that the superstar has 2 crowns + 2FMVP, and has also won the best defensive player, it can be said that these honors are enough to make him firmly enter the Hall of Fame. In addition, Thompson, as the hero of the Warriors' 4 championships, has been selected as an All-Star many times, and it is only a matter of time before he is inducted into the Hall of Fame after retiring.
Probability 60%-90%: Irving 64.8%, George 65.4%, Lillard 69.9%, Love 73.5%, Lowry 85.7%
Among the 5 players in this class, Irving, Love, and Lowry have all won championships as second-in-command or third-in-command, plus various personal honors, large and small, and there is a high probability that they will also be inducted into the Hall of Fame in the future. Although George and Lillard do not have championships, they are also stars with both strength and popularity, and if they can win the championship in the future, they will inevitably further increase the probability of selection.
Probability 90%-99%: Bushy 91.4%, Anthony 98.2%, Howard 99.4%, Curry 99.8%, Harden 99.9%, Westbrook 99.9%
If nothing else, the induction of several players in this bracket into the Hall of Fame is a sure thing, and they were all the top superstars in the league at their peak, and they are perennially in the top five of the MVP list. What is surprising is that the American media has given Curry a 100% probability of being selected, you must know that in the eyes of many fans and media, even if Curry retires now, he can be safely inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Probability 100%: James, Durant, Paul
Zhan Du must not need to go into too much detail, as the "big and small kings" of the alliance in the past ten years, the two of them have always been at the top of the pyramid, and no matter their strength, honor or influence are the existence of the ceiling. And although Paul has not been able to win the championship so far, the former No. 1 point guard in the league has almost filled his honor stack, and even if he does not win a championship for life, he can be inducted into the Hall of Fame like Iverson and Stockton.
So for the list selected by the American media, I don't know what the officials think?
