Vince Carter becoming a Hall of Famer in the year of the Raptors’ 30th anniversary (’24-25) and getting his jersey retired in Toronto would be too damn perfect – 6:34 PM

FWIW, out of players who have been retired long enough to be eligible, the only Finals MVPs who aren’t in the Hall of Fame are Billups and Cedric Maxwell. – 6:20 PM

I have no idea how the Hall of Fame voting actually works (nobody does) but some years are loaded with no-brainer first-ballot guys that makes a borderline candidate like Chauncey have a tougher road. This year the only lock is Vince Carter so he should have a decent shot. – 5:57 PM
