That's a silly question to even ask IMO.

KG, Duncan, Kobe, Shaq, Ray Allen, Steve Nash, Jason Kidd and Iverson are absolutely 100% guaranteed to make the Hall of Fame from this generation.

And I think Dirk and Paul Pierce will too but I wouldn't call them 100% guaranteed.

100% LOCK: KG, Duncan, Kobe, Shaq, Iverson, Wade, Lebron

Probably: Dirk, Nash, Ray Allen, Jason Kidd

Maybe/Depends: Paul Pierce, Dwight Howard

Nope: Pau Gasol, Carmelo Anthony, Grant Hill, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili

Laughable

: Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, Chris Bosh, Amare Stoudemire,

I didn't include any of the young players like Durant, but only guys at the end of their careers.

Although the criteria for a HOF basketball player is totally screwed up by the fact that the NBA doesn't even have a Hall of Fame.

I don't think Pau Gasol would be considered by anyone to be in the top 75 players of All-Time.

Here is a good question: Chris Webber vs Pau Gasol?

I always thought it was sooo stupid for the NBA not to have its own Hall of Fame
Am I the only one that really hates it?

So Dwight is at the end of his career?

And Nash and Kidd are locks, IMO.

Nope I also think it's stupid, but it is what it is.
