Not just NBA. Anthony Davis could retire tomorrow, and he'd still make the HoF because of his college career (player of the year, NCAA Championship MVP, most wins ever in a season). And Carmelo will be a HoFer because of his college career added to his NCAA career. As undeserving as he is, Tyler Hansborough will make the Hall someday for the same reason. Manu has a Gold Medal, and Four NBA Titles. He has also probably played more games of organized basketball than any other human ever except Kareem when you take his time in the Euro League, NBA, and the fact he played international almost every year into account. <cite>Cstrifeisbabe posted [p:879629645] in NBA Playof...

Not just NBA. Anthony Davis could retire tomorrow, and he'd still make the HoF because of his college career (player of the year, NCAA Championship MVP, most wins ever in a season). And Carmelo will be a HoFer because of his college career added to his NCAA career. As undeserving as he is, Tyler Hansborough will make the Hall someday for the same reason.
