I thought it was an interesting perspective on the whole “ring culture” as he describes it. Very self aware for basically saying he should be in the hall of very good

He won a fmvp over curry. So neither is curry

The basketball hall of fame is essentially the Hall of very good the standards arenāt that high.
AntwaanKumiyaa
Honestly, I donāt see why not considering they let every person who knows how to dribble a basketball in.

He should get in for the GOAT meme

I agree, but considering thereās a lot of people in the hall that have careers that are only on par with his makes me think he should get in for consistency sake
whiskeyinthejaar
Max Kellerman would disagree

He’s right. He doesn’t have a Hall of Fame career. But I do agree with him about the Hall of Fame having tiers or wings. I think that would help separate some of the older generations with the modern ones, without losing the respect for them.
Jay_Shadow
He’s a human, he’s clearly not a Hall of Fame.

Iād put Iggy in the HOF over Lowry
CalmResearch3132
He isn’t
EatFoodShitPant
he has as many FMVPs as curry, i don’t see why he shouldn’t be in
deck4242
if we let T Mac in, he can go in too
iCE_P0W3R
I donāt think heās a Hall of Fame either, heās a person.
larrylegend1990
Basketball hof is ridiculously easy to get in.
How many FMVP isnāt in the HoF?
ClutchGamingGuy
because he’s not lol
Jonesbro
He’ll get in after the aliens invade and point the death beam at us.

Water is wet. More at 8.

Because he isn’t
Joetheshow1
No shit he’s not, I’m astounded by all these people who think he is or should even be considered for it
JoeDudden
Heās right because rings donāt guarantee a spot in the HoF. Ask Robert Horry š¤·š¾āāļø Iggy had a fantastic career & he can look proudly at what he accomplished. That might be good enough for him.
OriginalRedditHater
And he’s correct
LDcostict
I do
DigOlBick99
Finally we have something in common
Markel100
He still gonna get in due to the weak class
KilwaLover
because he isnāt tf?
Shenanigans80h
I mean why would he be? Heās a one time all star, made the all defense team twice, and never had any international accolades either. Like the only possible argument would be his FMVP and contributions to the Warriors rings, but even then, thatās a monumental stretch
SnooPies6274
Imo he is a hof’er
Brunobrunobrunobru
Heās not
elxhapo
In the terms of ability I donāt think he is but ring culture is how the nba awards greatness itās the only reason players like Derek fisher and Robert horry or even relevant to the common fan iggy won a finals mvp also I think that alone means the most.
CabbageStockExchange
I agree

He’s not a half of fame he’s a person

Hall of Very Good

Tells me he doesn’t believe he deserved that FMVP
Veggiedelite90
Agreed
Randyfreakingmarsh
Heās not lol this is not controversial in the slightest
buffalotrace
Heās not. He was a good but not great player in his prime who became a good role player.
LotusProxy
always found it weird how people take it upon themselves the be the ultimate HoF decider for these athletes. HoF means nothing to us, why care. Put Horry, Fisher, Iggy in there. They impacted the sport historically and will be remembered forever
Low-iq-haikou
He really shouldnāt be. Wouldnāt be one in any other sport. But itās the NBA so he might be.
And I like Iggy, I donāt say that out of disrespect at all. Heās just more of a Hall of Very Good guy.
IllustriousAnt485
Give me Iguodala!!
dBlock845
He isn’t HOF so he is correct.
EdoubleYT
Well thatās because he aināt.
Dangerousrhymes
Heās right, heās a person, not an institution to memorialize greatness in a field.
IlonggoProgrammer
Man, Iāve made the case before, now I feel kinda dumb. Obviously I always thought it was a fringe case, but if KC Jones is in the Hall (yes, heās in as a player but NOT as a coach somehow), I figured Iggy would eventually get in.
4x champ with 3 of them as a de facto starter (he was the 6th man but the Death Lineup/Hamptons 5 was their real lineup), Finals MVP (even if most people think Bron or Curry deserved it), Olympic Gold medalist, All-Star, 2x All-defense (1 first team) is a really good resume. Thatās better than a number of HOFers. He was also part of the greatest 5 man lineup in the history of basketball, and even if he was the 5th guy in that lineup that should count for something.
But also at least heās humble about it too.

Wouldn’t surprise me either way tbh. Tony Parker just got in off of rings this past year. Vlade was inducted a few years back with similar individual accolades.
Teams going on a tear like the Warriors tends to get otherwise fringe guys in. Klay is probably going in despite only having a few good years during the W’s run. Iggy doesn’t have a shot without the rings and FMVP, but since those count for so much with voters he has a decent shot.
