Can a case for the HOF be made for Sam I Am Cassell?

I mean if you take a look at his stat line for his career it bears a close resemblance to that of other HOF worthy PG's, like say Steve Nash, Mark Price, etc.

15.7 = PPG
6 = APG
.454 = FG%
.331 = 3pt%
.861 = FT%
* He's 30th all-time in most dished out assists

* Not to mention he was wrongfully given his 1st & only All-star appearance & All-NBA nomination late in his career after numerous worthy seasons.

* He is a 3x NBA Champion (2 of which he played a very significant role)

* He is the greatest post-up PG I've ever seen & was tricky/crafty on the offensive end.

* Not to mention he is 1 of the ultimate momentum/team chemistry changers for the positive. I mean before him the Milwaukee Bucks were 1st round playoff fodder same as the Minnesota T-Wolves w. him they made it to the conference championships. Also w/o him the Nets & Clippers were sorry NBA franchises, w./ him he made them overachieve & become playoff teams. The Clippers were 1 game away from reaching a Conference Finals w. Cassell after decades of sucking.

I think he's preety much decent pick

I see where you are coming from but still, I cannot say that he could be a potential candidate for the HOF. I mean, he had a pretty good career and he was pretty beneficial as a role player - emphasis on "role player" because was he ever the main option (1st or 2nd) for a team he was a part of?

Not really.....

Hell yeah!!!

I guess you can make a case... but I HIGHLY doubt that he will be in the H.O.F.

Yeah, don't they have to put a picture up? If so. No way.

All jokes aside. no. I wouldn't put him in, but I wouldn't be surprised either if he got in. Kind of like Robert Horry or Chauncey Billups.

HAHAHAHA @ J

never expected that from you

He was the main option when he was on the Clippers Brand/Maggette benefited from him, like Amar'e benefits from Nash.

He'll have his own separate section in the HOF, but then he won't be satisfied with it so he'll abduct it.

No Cassell is a good player but not that great...

Dennis Johnson who was 1979 MVP finals, 3 NBA champions and arguably 1 of the best perimeter in the NBA all of time not even a HOF...

But how far did the Clippers go when Cassell was with them?
HOFs are usually those who make quite a significant impact on the teams they are/were a part of.
Cassell is good; don't get me wrong...but I would not put him in HOF.

and lol @ J's comment.

Yes, but only as this, in the distant future:
