However, a lot of the times I think it comes down to star power. Scottie Pippen, larger than life persona, very bousterous, invaded mainstream culture (even my mother who hates sports knows who Pippen and Rodman are). Can we say the same about Bernard King?
You can't tell me that they're star power/persona doesn't come in to play when they are making their decisions, sometimes it helps just to have a name everyone knows.
SORRY hof collector 15. I was trying not to jack your thread with this.
So how do you explain Ralph Sampson, Arvydas Sabonis, Mel Daniels, Chet Walker, etc. getting in. Personally I don't think the guys who have votes take star power into account. At least they shouldn't. It should be based on the persons accomplishments in the league and that's all.
