Marc Gasol announce his retirement (thought he already was) after playing in Spain..is he a first ballot HOF??
HoFer but not first ballot.
A HOFer, is a HOFer. If he is worthy vote him in when he is eligible.
I agree — the first ballot, second ballot, etc. stuff is nonsensical.
And I don’t think Marc Gasol is Hall worthy. Only 3 all-star selections, 2 all-NBA, career averages of 14 points and 7.4 rebounds. Solid career but not an all-time great.
Edit: I forgot about his pre-NBA stuff. So maybe he should be in based on his whole body of work, but definitely not based on his NBA play alone.
