Jordan, Stockton, Robinson and Nelson/Sloan are in pretty easy. I don't see anyone else making it...Dennis Johnson was a heckuva player but probably not a HOFer.

Cooper will get in if they care at all about womens hoops. The russian guy will probably get in, I've seen international coaches with as equal a resume get in before.

It is not the NBA Hall of Fame. It is the Naismith HOF and they generally induct at least one or two players a year who leave you scratching your head. I'll be Cooper does get in. She is on the short list for the greatest women players of all time (insert joke of there being so few worth considering).

Not voting in Cooper is like not voting in Isaiah Thomas: only a retard would not vote in Isaiah Thomas.
