Paul is on the ESPN show, NBA: The Jump, on live now. Rachel Nichols broke the news to him on live TV. Pretty cool reaction by Pierce. I hope he gets elected.

No need to hope. He's a lock with a 99.74% chance to get in according to the BBReference projection below.

true but I think he meant hope he gets in as a 1st ballot. I don’t think that percentage is necessarily 1st ballot

He should be a slam dunk. Good for Pierce and the Celtics!

Just glancing over the guys that are on that list near his rating, I'd have to think they all went in on the first ballot.

Tbh, and this is NOTHING against Paul, they’ll let almost anyone into the HOF nowdays. If Paul isn’t 1st ballot I’ll eat my shoe.
My pic is now, and will be Fab Melo until he posts his first official NBA dbl-dbl. This may be permanent.

He is a lock, but I hate some of the BBref percentages. Westbrook having a better chance than Curry? Huh??
'23 Historical Draft: Orlando Magic.

PG: Terry Porter (90-91) / Steve Francis (00-01)
SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)
SF: Brandon Roy (08-09) / Walter Davis (78-79)
PF: Terry Cummings (84-85) / Paul Millsap (15-16)
C: Chris Webber (00-01) / Ralph Sampson (83-84) / Andrew Bogut (09-10)

With stuff going on in this country right now Pierce's nomination means little, to me.

At least right now.
