Too bad Dino's time in the NBA didn't line up with any of the great Celtics teams. I always liked his game, and feel that he could've gotten a lot more recognition on a great team.

Anyway, congratulations, Dino!

So that brings us to 31 HOFers?

Sweet.

Do the Lakers even have half that many?

Again, its Basketball HOF, not NBA Hall of Fame. Players get considered for things they did for Basketball in the World, not America or NBA alone.

Moses Malone?

Next summer we need to remember when this thread was the hot news, stop celebrating our championship and have a moment for Dino.

Euros in the  90s were apparently notorious for drinking/eating unhealthy stuff and smoking.

 Steve Kerr sums it up perfectly

There is a story over here (and I take it is not entirely fictional) that our national team in the 90s once or twice literally removed the fire alarm system from its hotel rooms.

Another (also kind of semi-apocryphal) story is that Zarko Paspalj answered to an American journalist that his favourite things about America were Marlborough cigarettes and Pizza Hut.
