2021 Basketball Hall Of Fame Class Is Same As 2020s?

Posted on by Jim Smarts

2021 Basketball Hall of Fame class was selected from 14 finalists.

Just like the 2020 basketball hall of fame, 2021’s is also fully loaded. It has been final now that who all are included in the list of great players. This is a big achievement in itself and my condolences to those who didn’t make it to the final list. You know nothing is simple when it comes to basketball and the same is the case with this list. 2021 Basketball Hall of fame class looks a little controversial.

Kudos to the 2021 Basketball Hall of Fame class.

Some faces of the 2021 Basketball Hall of Fame class were already on the ballot in past while some like Pierce and Gost are first-time finalists. The feelings are true and full of emotion as it is a big day for each one of them. No one can deny that Paul Pierce was the number one contender for the first ballot. Everyone knows about his work and his resume.

The real question or the controversy stayed with Ben Wallace and Chris Webber as always. Whenever you talk about the Basketball Hall of Fame this point always makes its way. Ben Wallace is the first undrafted player to make it to the Hall Of Fame while it took 8 years for Webber to get a nod. On the other hand, the 4 times All-Star Wallace took 4 years to get into the Basketball HOF.

As per the track records of these two men I am not able to be satisfied with the Basketball Hall of Fame. I mean when you look at their history they both have many achievements on their resume. Without Wallace, the whole Piston era is nothing but dust. Taking this much time for these two is not justified. Not just for me but for most of us who understands the game.

What can we do rather than just watching it and accepting it. time is running and with each passing day, we and the hard-knock superstar players are getting older. Some of the heroes whom I watched playing are now in the Basketball HOF and there are many who will be there in future.
