Congrats to Paul Pierce, it is well-deserved.

It looks like Ben Wallace made the HOF too. As great as he was as a defender and rebounder I am kind of surprised he made the HOF with no offensive game.

Ben Wallace was the best player (or at least most important) on a champion and is the 4th best rebounder and 3rd best big man defender in league history.  He absolutely should be in the HOF.

4th best rebounder in NBA history?? Really??  Who are the top 3?

Chamberlain
Russell
Rodman


What about Kareem, Moses Malone, Elvin Hayes, Tim Duncan? Just to name a few....

you got the top 3.  Wallace was a beast on the boards in a slow era without nearly as many possessions as prior ones.  I do think him and Moses are pretty close though.

Crazy stat I just saw:  Andre Drummond has the highest career TRB% of any player since they kept track of it, higher than Rodman.

I wouldn’t have expected the results:

Yeah.  Drummond is definitely climbing up the list as a pure rebounder.  He just impacts the scoreboard so little because he isn't a good defender and is a terrible offensive player (outside of like 2 feet), that I don't think he will get the respect he probably deserves on the glass.

Congratulations to Mike Gorman too for his HOF awards, but I do not see him in Naismith HOF list.
