Jason Terry is 100% not a hall of fame candidate. Not that I'm trying to bag on the guy, but HOFers should be players that define a generation.
He belongs in the hall of pretty good

He's been a role player for most of his careerwhat does it mean to be a role player? Is this used to describe non-eilte players. It cannot just mean players that perform a role because all players perform a role some to lead some to support. If you fulfill your 'role' as a supporting player magnificently why should you not be considered for the hall of fame. After all we know that BB is a team game and championships are won by teams not individuals. Therefore, I do not see why been just a 'role' player should take one out of the running for the Hall.Was Horry a role player.. he has more rings than MJ with multiple teams - Is he a HOF?if terry had 6 rings it would be a different story

definitely not. He's been a role player for most of his career
I don't think he qualifies statistically, or in the Fame category--my personal category for overarching popularity, memorability and iconography. Essentially my argument for why, say, Vince Carter should be in the HoF.
By his career numbers, Vince Carter would be a fairly egregious ommisson. You can certainly argue that he should've/could've accomplished more with his NBA career, but that's about as idle a flight of fancy as the "what if Pop was our coach" thread. The fact that he was probably the most electric dunker the league has ever seen doesn't hurt either.If it's a hall of 'fame,' Vince Carter should make it. Vince Carter was 'famous.'
